pyCE

A Python library for projects related to Configurational Entropy (CE) — an information-theoretic measure of spatial complexity for field configurations.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/EternalTime/pyCE.git
cd pyCE
pip install -e .

Requires Python 3.8+. Dependencies (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, astropy, tqdm) are installed automatically.

Modules

Module	Description
pyCE.math	Radial Fourier transforms and d-dimensional radial integration
pyCE.cosmology	Analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background (Planck and WMAP angular power spectra; bundled WMAP 9-yr data)
pyCE.instantons	Generating and analyzing instantons
pyCE.bosonstars	Ground-state boson stars of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system
pyCE.oscillons	Generating and analyzing oscillons
pyCE.polytropes	Polytropic models of stars

Example

import numpy as np
from pyCE.math import radialFT, radial_integrate

r = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000)
f = np.exp(-r**2)
ft, k = radialFT(3, f, r)            # radial FT in d = 3
norm = radial_integrate(r, f**2, 3)  # d-dimensional radial integration
