pygeoinf.symmetric_space.symmetric_space module¶

Provides an abstract framework for function spaces on symmetric manifolds.

This module offers an abstract framework for defining Hilbert spaces of functions on symmetric spaces (like spheres or tori). The core design leverages the spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator (Δ).

By inheriting from these base classes and implementing a small number of abstract methods a concrete class can automatically gain a rich set of tools for defining invariant operators and probability measures.

class pygeoinf.symmetric_space.symmetric_space.AbstractSymmetricLebesgueSpace(spatial_dim: int, degree: int | tuple[int, ...], dim: int, orthonormal: bool)[source]¶

Bases: HilbertModule, SymmetricHilbertSpace, ABC

A specialisation for scalar-valued L² function spaces on symmetric manifolds.

To be instantiated, such a class must provide the following additional methods:

vector_multiply vector_sqrt

Constructs the generalized 4th-order variable-coefficient flexure operator for a thin elastic shell on a Riemannian manifold.

This operator models the normal deflection of a shell subjected to a transverse load. It accounts for spatially varying material properties without requiring explicit tensor calculus by utilizing Bochner-style identities to express the inner product of Hessians purely in terms of Laplacians and surface gradients.

The operator evaluates: Op(w) = L(D * L(w)) - tr(Hess(D_eff) * Hess(w)) + rho_g * w

Where: * w is the normal deflection. * D is the flexural rigidity. * D_eff is the effective rigidity: D * (1 - nu). * nu is Poisson’s ratio. * rho_g is the foundation restoring force (buoyancy factor). * L() is the Laplace-Beltrami operator.

Mathematical Details (The Hessian Calculation):¶

Because the framework is built on the spectral properties of the Laplacian, it does not compute Hessians directly. Instead, it uses a well-known identity for the inner product of two Hessians on a 2D manifold:

tr(Hess(A) * Hess(B)) = 0.5 * L(grad(A) . grad(B))

0.5 * (grad(L(A)) . grad(B))
0.5 * (grad(A) . grad(L(B)))
K * (grad(A) . grad(B))

Here, K is the Gaussian curvature of the manifold. In flat Euclidean space, derivatives commute and K = 0. On a curved manifold (like a sphere), derivatives do not commute. The Gaussian curvature K acts as the precise geometric penalty required to correct for this non-commutativity. The method gradient_dot_product is used to evaluate the (grad(A) . grad(B)) terms internally.

param flexural_rigidity:: The flexural rigidity field (D). Can be a spatially varying Vector in this space or a constant scalar.
param poisson_ratio:: Poisson’s ratio (nu). Can be a spatially varying Vector or a constant scalar.
param buoyancy_factor:: The density contrast or foundation restoring force (rho * g). Can be a spatially varying Vector or a constant scalar.
returns:: A self-adjoint linear operator mapping a deflection field to its corresponding load field.
rtype:: LinearOperator

gradient_dot_product(f: Vector, g: Vector) → Vector[source]¶: Computes the pointwise dot product of the surface gradients of two fields.

Constructs the inverse of the generalized variable-coefficient flexure operator.

This method acts as an intelligent factory, mapping a spatial load field to the resulting normal deflection. It utilizes a dual-path execution strategy depending on the spatial variance of the input parameters:

Analytical Fast-Path: If $D$, $nu$, and $rho_g$ are all constant scalars, the Poisson penalty vanishes ($nabla D_{eff} = 0$), and the operator simplifies exactly to $D Delta^2 + rho_g$. The method returns an ultra-fast, exact InvariantLinearAutomorphism by reciprocating the spectral eigenvalues.
Iterative Slow-Path: If any parameter is a spatially varying field, the method wraps a preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (CG) iterative solver inside a standard LinearOperator interface.

To accelerate the iterative solver, an invariant preconditioner is built using baseline scalar values for rigidity and buoyancy. If these baselines are not explicitly provided, the solver automatically computes the spatial means of the provided fields via $L^2$ projection.

Parameters:

flexural_rigidity – The flexural rigidity field $D$ or a constant scalar.
poisson_ratio – Poisson’s ratio $nu$ or a constant scalar.
buoyancy_factor – The restoring force $rho_g$ or a constant scalar.
baseline_rigidity – An optional scalar guess for the average rigidity, used to construct the spectral preconditioner.
baseline_buoyancy – An optional scalar guess for the average buoyancy, used to construct the spectral preconditioner.
solver – An optional pre-configured IterativeLinearSolver instance (e.g., to inject specific tolerances or progress callbacks). Defaults to a standard CGSolver.

Returns:

A self-adjoint linear operator mapping a load field to its corresponding deflection field.

Return type:

Builds a highly specialized, ultra-fast sparse preconditioner for point evaluation problems when the prior measure is invariant.

This exploits the property that the two-point covariance depends solely on the geodesic distance. It maps out the 1D covariance function along a deterministic path, interpolates it, optionally applies a Gaspari-Cohn taper to ensure positive-definiteness, and populates a sparse normal matrix.

If max_distance is set to 0.0, it bypasses the distance calculations and instantly builds a purely diagonal (Jacobi) preconditioner.

Parameters:

points – The list of observation points.
max_distance – The geodesic distance beyond which covariance is assumed to be zero (enforces sparsity). Set to 0.0 for a pure diagonal.
data_error_measure – The Gaussian measure describing the data noise. Can be None if the noise is already folded into the prior_measure.
apply_taper – If true, applies Gaspari-Cohn taper.

Where: * $w$ is the normal deflection. * $D$ is the flexural rigidity. * $nu$ is Poisson’s ratio. * $rho_g$ is the foundation restoring force (buoyancy factor). * $K$ is the Gaussian curvature of the underlying manifold (handled internally).

This method approximates the integral $\int_{\gamma} u(s) ds$, where $\gamma$ is the shortest path (geodesic) connecting points p1 and p2. The integral is represented as a LinearForm in the dual space, constructed by summing weighted point evaluations (Dirac measures) along the path.

For Hilbert spaces with a specified scale, the method can automatically determine the required quadrature density to resolve the smooth features of the space’s sensitivity kernels.

Constructs the inverse of the generalized variable-coefficient flexure operator.

Analytical Fast-Path: If $D$, $nu$, and $rho_g$ are all constant scalars, the Poisson penalty vanishes ($nabla D_{eff} = 0$), and the operator simplifies exactly to $D Delta^2 + rho_g$. The method returns an ultra-fast, exact InvariantLinearAutomorphism by reciprocating the spectral eigenvalues.

pairs_within_distance(points: List[float | tuple[float, ...]], max_distance: float) → Tuple[ndarray, ndarray, ndarray][source]¶: Finds all pairs of points within a given geodesic distance. Returns arrays of row indices, column indices, and their geodesic distances.

path_average_operator(paths, /, *, n_points=None)[source]¶

Constructs a tomographic operator mapping a function field to its line integrals along a set of geodesic paths.

Parameters:

Parameters:: points – A list of points at which to evaluate the functions.

point_value_scaled_heat_kernel_gaussian_measure(scale: float, /, *, expectation: Vector = None, std: float = 1)[source]¶

Returns an invariant Gaussian measure with a heat-kernel covariance proportional to exp(-scale^2 * Δ).

The covariance of the operator is scaled such that the standard deviation of the point-wise values are equal to the given amplitude.

Parameters:

scale – Scale parameter for the covariance.
std – The desired standard deviation for the pointwise values.

point_value_scaled_invariant_gaussian_measure(f: Callable[[float], float], /, *, expectation: Vector = None, std: float = 1)[source]¶

Returns an invariant Gaussian measure with covariance proportional to f(Δ), where f must be such that this operator is trace-class.

The covariance of the operator is scaled such that the standard deviation of the point-wise values are equal to the given std.

Parameters:

f – A real-valued function that is well-defined on the spectrum of the Laplacian, Δ.
std – The desired standard deviation for the pointwise values.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If the Sobolev order is less than n/2, with n the spatial dimension.

Notes

This method applies for symmetric spaces an invariant measures. As a result, the pointwise variance is the same at all points. Internally, a random point is chosen to carry out the normalisation.

point_value_scaled_sobolev_kernel_gaussian_measure(order: float, scale: float, /, *, expectation: Vector = None, std: float = 1)[source]¶

Returns an invariant Gaussian measure with a Sobolev-type covariance proportional to (1 + scale^2 * Δ)^-order.

The covariance of the operator is scaled such that the standard deviation of the point-wise values are equal to the given amplitude.

Parameters:

order – Order parameter for the covariance.
scale – Scale parameter for the covariance.
std – The desired standard deviation for the pointwise values.

random_point() → float | tuple[float, ...][source]¶: Returns a single random point from the underlying symmetric space.

random_source_receiver_paths(n_sources: int, n_receivers: int) → List[Tuple[Any, Any]][source]¶

Generates a list of source-receiver pairs by connecting every source to every receiver.

This method uses the existing random_points() logic to generate coordinates appropriate for the specific symmetric space. For a set of S sources and R receivers, this returns a list of S*R paths.

Parameters:

n_sources – The number of random source locations to generate.
n_receivers – The number of random receiver locations to generate.

Returns:

A list of tuples, where each tuple contains: a (source, receiver) pair.

Return type:
