ex6.py: Compute exp(t*A)*v for a matrix from a Markov model
===========================================================
This example illustrates the functionality in slepc4py for computing
matrix functions, or more precisely, the application of a matrix
function on a given vector. The example works with the exponential
function, which is most commonly found in applications.
The main focus of slepc4py is eigenvalue and singular value problems,
but it has some codes to deal with matrix functions, which sometimes
are needed in the context of eigenproblems, but have interest on
their own.
The full source code for this demo can be `downloaded here
<../_static/ex6.py>`__.
Initialization is similar to previous examples.
::
import sys, slepc4py
slepc4py.init(sys.argv)
from petsc4py import PETSc
from slepc4py import SLEPc
Print = PETSc.Sys.Print
This function builds a matrix that implements a Markov model of a random
walk on a triangular grid. The entries of the matrix represent
probabilities of moving to neighboring cells in the grid.
::
def build_matrix(m):
N = m*(m+1)/2
Print("Markov y=exp(t*A)*e_1, N=%d (m=%d)"% (N, m))
A = PETSc.Mat().create()
A.setSizes([N, N])
A.setFromOptions()
Istart, Iend = A.getOwnershipRange()
ix = 0
cst = 0.5/(m-1)
for i in range(1,m+1):
jmax = m-i+1
for j in range(1,jmax+1):
ix = ix + 1
if ix-1<Istart or ix>Iend:
continue # compute only owned rows
if j!=jmax:
pd = cst*(i+j-1)
# north
if i==1:
A[ix-1,ix] = 2*pd
else:
A[ix-1,ix] = pd
# east
if j==1:
A[ix-1,ix+jmax-1] = 2*pd
else:
A[ix-1,ix+jmax-1] = pd
# south
pu = 0.5 - cst*(i+j-3)
if j>1:
A[ix-1,ix-2] = pu
# west
if i>1:
A[ix-1,ix-jmax-2] = pu
A.assemble()
return A
The following function solves the problem. This case is quite different
from eigenproblems, and is more similar to solving a linear system of
equations with `KSP <petsc4py.PETSc.KSP>`. To configure the problem we
must provide the matrix and the function (the exponential in this case).
Note how the internal `FN` object is extracted from the `MFN` solver.
Also, it is often necessary to specify a scale factor, which in this
case represents the time for which we want to obtain the evolved state.
Once the solver is set up, we call `solve() <MFN.solve()>` passing the
right-hand side vector ``b`` and the solution vector ``x``.
::
def solve_exp(t, A, b, x):
# Setup the solver
M = SLEPc.MFN().create()
M.setOperator(A)
f = M.getFN()
f.setType(SLEPc.FN.Type.EXP)
f.setScale(t)
M.setTolerances(1e-7)
M.setFromOptions()
# Solve the problem
M.solve(b,x)
its = M.getIterationNumber()
Print("Number of iterations of the method: %i" % its)
sol_type = M.getType()
Print("Solution method: %s" % sol_type)
ncv = M.getDimensions()
Print("")
Print("Subspace dimension: %i" % ncv)
tol, maxit = M.getTolerances()
Print("Stopping condition: tol=%.4g, maxit=%d" % (tol, maxit))
Print("Computed vector at time t=%.4g has norm %g" % (t.real, x.norm()))
Print("")
The main program processes the command-line option ``m`` (size of the
grid), builds the matrix and calls the solver. Note how the vectors are
created from the matrix. In this case, the right-hand side vector is
the first element of the canonical basis.
::
if __name__ == '__main__':
opts = PETSc.Options()
m = opts.getInt('m', 15)
A = build_matrix(m) # transition probability matrix
x, b = A.createVecs()
x.set(0)
b.set(0)
b[0] = 1
b.assemble()
t = 2
solve_exp(t, A, b, x) # compute x=exp(t*A)*b
A = None
b = x = None
