ValueFunction

class ValueFunction(*args)

Function mapping a field to a field.

Parameters:
gFunction

Function g: \Rset^d \rightarrow \Rset^{d'}.

meshMesh

The mesh of the domain \cD.

Notes

Value functions act on fields to produce fields such that:

f: \left| \begin{array}{rcl}
           \cM_N \times (\Rset^d)^N & \rightarrow & \cM_N \times (\Rset^{d'})^{N} \\
            F & \mapsto & F'
          \end{array} \right.

with F = (\vect{t}_i, \vect{v}_i)_{1 \leq i \leq N}, F' = (\vect{t}_i, \vect{v}'_i)_{1 \leq i \leq N} and \cM_{N} a mesh of \cD \subset \Rset^{n}.

A value function keeps the mesh unchanged: the input mesh is equal to the output mesh.

The field F' is defined by the function g: \Rset^d \rightarrow \Rset^{d'}:

\forall \vect{t}_i \in \cM_N, \quad \vect{v}'_i = g(\vect{v}_i)

The first constructor builds an object which evaluation operator is not defined (it throws a NotYetImplementedException). The instanciation of such an object is used to extract an actual ValueFunction from a Study.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot

Create the function g : \Rset \rightarrow \Rset defined by:

g: \left|\begin{array}{rcl}
            \Rset & \rightarrow & \Rset \\
            x & \mapsto & x^2
        \end{array}\right.

>>> g = ot.SymbolicFunction('x', 'x^2')

Convert g into a value function with n=1 the dimension of the mesh of the field on which g will be applied:

>>> n = 1
>>> tg = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.2, 6)
>>> myValueFunction = ot.ValueFunction(g, tg)
>>> # Create a TimeSeries
>>> data = ot.Sample(tg.getN(), g.getInputDimension())
>>> for i in range(data.getSize()):
...     for j in range(data.getDimension()):
...         data[i, j] = i * data.getDimension() + j
>>> ts = ot.TimeSeries(tg, data)
>>> print(ts)
    [ t   v0  ]
0 : [ 0   0   ]
1 : [ 0.2 1   ]
2 : [ 0.4 2   ]
3 : [ 0.6 3   ]
4 : [ 0.8 4   ]
5 : [ 1   5   ]
>>> print(myValueFunction(ts))
    [ y0 ]
0 : [  0 ]
1 : [  1 ]
2 : [  4 ]
3 : [  9 ]
4 : [ 16 ]
5 : [ 25 ]
