module Jacobian

require 'bigdecimal/jacobian'

Provides methods to compute the Jacobian matrix of a set of equations at a point x. In the methods below:

f is an Object which is used to compute the Jacobian matrix of the equations. It must provide the following methods:

f.values(x): returns the values of all functions at x
f.zero: returns 0.0
f.one: returns 1.0
f.two: returns 2.0
f.ten: returns 10.0
f.eps: returns the convergence criterion (epsilon value) used to determine whether two values are considered equal. If |a-b| < epsilon, the two values are considered equal.

x is the point at which to compute the Jacobian.

fx is f.values(x).

dfdxi(f,fx,x,i) click to toggle source

Computes the derivative of f at x. fx is the value of f at x.

# File ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/jacobian.rb, line 45
def dfdxi(f,fx,x,i)
  nRetry = 0
  n = x.size
  xSave = x[i]
  ok = 0
  ratio = f.ten*f.ten*f.ten
  dx = x[i].abs/ratio
  dx = fx[i].abs/ratio if isEqual(dx,f.zero,f.zero,f.eps)
  dx = f.one/f.ten     if isEqual(dx,f.zero,f.zero,f.eps)
  until ok>0 do
    deriv = []
    nRetry += 1
    if nRetry > 100
      raise "Singular Jacobian matrix. No change at x[" + i.to_s + "]"
    end
    dx = dx*f.two
    x[i] += dx
    fxNew = f.values(x)
    for j in 0...n do
      if !isEqual(fxNew[j],fx[j],f.zero,f.eps) then
        ok += 1
        deriv <<= (fxNew[j]-fx[j])/dx
      else
        deriv <<= f.zero
      end
    end
    x[i] = xSave
  end
  deriv

isEqual(a,b,zero=0.0,e=1.0e-8) click to toggle source

Determines the equality of two numbers by comparing to zero, or using the epsilon value

# File ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/jacobian.rb, line 28
def isEqual(a,b,zero=0.0,e=1.0e-8)
  aa = a.abs
  bb = b.abs
  if aa == zero &&  bb == zero then
    true
  else
    if ((a-b)/(aa+bb)).abs < e then
      true
    else
      false
    end
  end
end

jacobian(f,fx,x) click to toggle source

Computes the Jacobian of f at x. fx is the value of f at x.

def jacobian(f,fx,x)
  n = x.size
  dfdx = Array.new(n*n)
  for i in 0...n do
    df = dfdxi(f,fx,x,i)
    for j in 0...n do
      dfdx[j*n+i] = df[j]
