From 08cbf29fb30933e40682c962701f1cacde3bc0d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kraus Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:33:01 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Replace the one-page docs with a full manual The documentation was a single 131-line index.md ending in an `@autodocs` dump, and its opening still described the package as periodic-only with "one basis" -- untrue since the boundary conditions and tensor products landed. It is now fourteen pages: a tutorial, three theory pages (the Cox-de Boor recursion and its derivative recursion; recombination; the tensor-product space and its flattening convention), six usage pages with the exact constructors, accessor tables and traps, a gallery of eight solved problems, an explicit library page, and a bibliography. Everything computational is an `@example` block, so the numbers, the rates and the sixteen CairoMakie figures are produced by the build and a claim that stops being true stops the build. Three gallery problems are new rather than lifted from the suite: Poisson in one dimension on a Dirichlet basis and its variable-coefficient variant, the Dirichlet eigenvalues against (k*pi)^2, and Poisson on a box through the separable Laplacian. Two documentation defects fixed along the way. The `findcell` docstring was attached to the internal `_findcell` that follows it, so `?findcell` showed nothing and `@docs findcell` would have failed the build. And `evaluate`'s cost was given as O(p^2) when the recursion is unmemoised and one value costs O(2^p) -- 15.8 microseconds against 103 nanoseconds for the whole block at p = 12. Docstrings were added for the exports that had none. --- CHANGELOG.md | 48 ++++ README.md | 19 +- docs/Project.toml | 7 + docs/make.jl | 27 ++ docs/src/gallery.md | 466 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/src/index.md | 163 +++++------ docs/src/library.md | 148 ++++++++++ docs/src/references.bib | 76 +++++ docs/src/references.md | 22 ++ docs/src/theory/boundary.md | 341 ++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/src/theory/bsplines.md | 343 +++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/src/theory/tensorproduct.md | 245 ++++++++++++++++ docs/src/tutorial.md | 268 ++++++++++++++++++ docs/src/usage/bases.md | 251 +++++++++++++++++ docs/src/usage/boundary.md | 222 +++++++++++++++ docs/src/usage/meshes.md | 187 +++++++++++++ docs/src/usage/quadrature.md | 335 ++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/src/usage/splines.md | 178 ++++++++++++ docs/src/usage/tensorproduct.md | 315 +++++++++++++++++++++ src/bspline.jl | 70 +++-- src/quadrature.jl | 5 + src/tensorproduct.jl | 33 +++ 22 files changed, 3655 insertions(+), 114 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/src/gallery.md create mode 100644 docs/src/library.md create mode 100644 docs/src/references.bib create mode 100644 docs/src/references.md create mode 100644 docs/src/theory/boundary.md create mode 100644 docs/src/theory/bsplines.md create mode 100644 docs/src/theory/tensorproduct.md create mode 100644 docs/src/tutorial.md create mode 100644 docs/src/usage/bases.md create mode 100644 docs/src/usage/boundary.md create mode 100644 docs/src/usage/meshes.md create mode 100644 docs/src/usage/quadrature.md create mode 100644 docs/src/usage/splines.md create mode 100644 docs/src/usage/tensorproduct.md diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 4d83635..0ea513d 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -11,6 +11,54 @@ The first release with any implementation in it.

The reason is a row sum: ``\sum_j \psi_j = \sum_i (\sum_j R_{ij}) +\varphi_i``, and the anchor row contributes ``-\sum_{t \le m} a_t / a_{m+1}``, which equals one +precisely when ``\sum_i a_i = (L\mathbb{1})(a) = c_0`` vanishes. So [`Neumann`](@ref) and +[`Natural`](@ref) keep it, while [`Dirichlet`](@ref) loses it outright — the defect is ``1``, +since every function vanishes at the ends and the constant is simply not in the space — and a +[`Robin`](@ref) condition with ``\alpha \ne 0`` loses it partially. + +**Non-negativity** can go whichever way. ``\psi_t = \varphi_t - (a_t/a_{m+1})\varphi_{m+1}`` +is a difference, so nothing guarantees it, and above it is `Natural` that loses it while +`Dirichlet`, `Neumann` and that particular `Robin` happen to keep it. A scheme that needs a +projected density to stay non-negative should check rather than assume. + +The consequence is not cosmetic. A conservation law survives a discretisation only if the +conserved density lies in the *span* of the basis, and [`polynomial_reproduction`](@ref) is +the number that says which do: + +```math +\text{polynomial\_reproduction} = +\min_{\text{ends}} \big( \text{order of the lowest derivative the condition involves} \big) - 1 , +``` + +with an unconstrained end contributing ``p``. The derivation is short: the recombined space is +the parent space intersected with the two conditions, and in the local coordinate ``x - a`` one +has ``D^k u(a) = k!\, b_k``, so ``L = \sum_k c_k D^k`` reads off the coefficients +``b_0, \dots, b_m`` one at a time and annihilates the whole of ``\mathbb{P}_m`` exactly when +``c_0 = \dots = c_m = 0``. + +| condition | lowest derivative in ``L`` | `polynomial_reproduction` | +|:--|:--|--:| +| [`Free`](@ref) | — | ``p`` | +| [`Periodic`](@ref) | — | ``0`` — the constants only, since ``x`` is not periodic | +| [`Dirichlet`](@ref) | ``u`` | ``-1`` | +| [`Neumann`](@ref), `Robin(0, β)` | ``u'`` | ``0`` | +| [`Natural`](@ref) | ``u''`` | ``1`` | +| `Robin(α, β)` with ``\alpha \ne 0`` | ``u`` | ``-1`` | +| `Constraint(0, 0, 0, 1)` | ``u'''`` | ``2`` | +| a pair `(left, right)` | — | the minimum of the two ends | + +```@example bnd +m = UniformMesh(8, 0 .. 1) +[(bc, polynomial_reproduction(BSplineBasis(m, 4, bc))) + for bc in (Free(), Periodic(), Dirichlet(), Neumann(), Natural(), + Robin(1.0, 1.0), Robin(0.0, 1.0), Constraint(0, 0, 0, 1), + (Dirichlet(), Neumann()))] +``` + +Two entries there are worth a second look. `Robin(1.0, 1.0)` reproduces nothing — ``-1``, the +same as `Dirichlet` — because what matters is the *lowest* derivative the condition involves, +and a Robin condition with ``\alpha \ne 0`` involves ``u`` itself: no non-zero constant +satisfies ``u + u' = 0`` at an endpoint. And `Robin(0.0, 1.0)` is `Neumann` in disguise, so it +keeps the constants; the named type is preferable where it applies, since it says what is +meant and `Dirichlet` in addition takes the cheaper elimination path. + +!!! warning "The boundary condition is not a free choice" + Choosing [`Dirichlet`](@ref) because the solution happens to decay at the edge of the + domain removes the constants from the span, and with them the conservation of mass. The + decay is a property of the solution; imposing it on the *space* is a different and much + stronger statement. A scheme whose conservation proof needs ``1``, ``v`` and ``v^2`` in the + span needs `polynomial_reproduction(b) ≥ 2`, and can assert it. + +## The periodic alternative + +Where the geometry allows it, the periodic closure gives up nothing at the boundary because +there is no boundary. Every basis function spans ``p+1`` cells, the basis is +``\mathcal{C}^{p-1}`` across the seam ``a \equiv b`` as well as inside, and integration by +parts over ``\Omega`` leaves no boundary terms. That last point is what makes +[`derivative_matrix`](@ref) exactly antisymmetric on a periodic mesh: + +```math +\int_\Omega \partial_x (\phi_k \phi_l) \, \mathrm{d}x = 0 +\quad \Longrightarrow \quad +S_{kl} + S_{lk} = 0 . +``` + +```@example bnd +qper = SplineQuadrature(BSplineBasis(UniformMesh(16, 0 .. 2π), 3, Periodic())) +S = derivative_matrix(qper) +maximum(abs, S + S') +``` + +On a clamped basis the same integral is ``[\phi_k \phi_l]_a^b``, which does not vanish, and +``S`` is not antisymmetric: + +```@example bnd +qcl = SplineQuadrature(BSplineBasis(UniformMesh(16, 0 .. 2π), 3)) +maximum(abs, derivative_matrix(qcl) + derivative_matrix(qcl)') +``` + +What the periodic closure costs is polynomial reproduction beyond the constants. + +## Two things a condition cannot be + +**Nonlocal.** Every condition here involves the solution at one endpoint only, which is what +keeps ``R`` sparse and the mass matrix banded. A multi-point or integral condition — +``u(a) = u(b)`` other than through [`Periodic`](@ref), or ``\int_\Omega u = 0`` — would need +the nullspace of a dense constraint matrix, and the banding that every assembly here relies on +would be gone. This is deliberately out of scope. + +**Of order higher than the degree.** A condition involving ``D^k`` with ``k > p`` constrains +nothing, since the ``k``-th derivative of a degree-``p`` spline vanishes identically.

Prefer the named type where one applies — +`Robin(1.0, 0.0)` is [`Dirichlet`](@ref) and `Robin(0.0, 1.0)` is [`Neumann`](@ref) — and keep +the two coefficients of a genuine Robin condition within a few orders of magnitude of each +other. diff --git a/docs/src/theory/bsplines.md b/docs/src/theory/bsplines.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4389652 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/src/theory/bsplines.md @@ -0,0 +1,343 @@ +```@meta +CurrentModule = SimpleSplines +``` + +# B-Splines + +What a B-spline basis is, how this package computes it, and which of its properties the rest +of the manual leans on.

Iterating, ``D^d \phi_j^p`` is a combination of ``d+1`` B-splines of degree +``p-d``, and for ``d > p`` it vanishes identically. + +Two consequences worth stating plainly: + + - **Any derivative order is available**, as the fourth positional argument of + [`evaluate`](@ref). This is not the same as stacking lazy `Derivative` products: `b'` gives + a [`BSplineDerivative`](@ref), which is first order only and does not compose, whereas + `evaluate(b, j, x, 3)` is the third derivative directly. A third-order operator needs the + latter. + - **``d > p`` returns zero rather than an error.** The ``p``-th derivative of a degree-``p`` + spline is piecewise constant and everything above it is zero, so a loop over derivative + orders needs no special case. + +```@example theory +b1 = BSplineBasis(UniformMesh(4, 0 .. 1), 1) +[evaluate(b1, 2, 0.3, d) for d in 0:3] +``` + +Internally, [`evaluate_all!`](@ref) does not apply the derivative recursion to a finished +block. It runs de Boor's scheme at degree ``q = p - d`` — cheaper, since the block is +smaller — and then *lifts* the result to degree ``p`` by applying the recursion above ``d`` +times, the block growing by one function at each step. The two routes agree to round-off, and +the test suite checks that at every degree and order. + +## Greville abscissae and polynomial reproduction + +The natural interpolation points of a B-spline basis are the *Greville abscissae*, the +averages of the ``p`` interior knots of each function, + +```math +\xi_j = \frac{1}{p} \sum_{i=1}^{p} x_{j+i} . +``` + +Each ``\xi_j`` lies in the support of ``\phi_j``, and for the clamped basis the collocation +matrix ``\phi_j(\xi_i)`` is invertible — the Schoenberg-Whitney condition.

This decides which moments an ``L^2`` projection preserves, so it is not a matter +of taste — see [Boundary Conditions](@ref theory-boundary). + +## Two conventions to know + +**Cells are half-open, except the last.** ``\phi^0_j`` is the indicator of +``[x_j, x_{j+1})``, which makes every B-spline right-continuous and makes the partition of +unity hold on ``[a,b)`` but fail at ``b``, where every indicator is false. That would be the +wrong answer for a clamped basis, which is meant to be interpolatory at both ends.

The last is kept +because `UniformMesh(16, 2π)` is the common periodic case. + +```@example mesh +UniformMesh(8, 0 .. 1) == UniformMesh(8, (0, 1)) == UniformMesh(8, 1) +``` + +```@example mesh +domain(UniformMesh(8)), domain(UniformMesh(4, -10 .. 10)) +``` + +`..` is re-exported, so `using SimpleSplines` is enough to write an interval; so are +`leftendpoint` and `rightendpoint`. + +```@example mesh +leftendpoint(domain(UniformMesh(4, -10 .. 10))), +rightendpoint(domain(UniformMesh(4, -10 .. 10))) +``` + +### Element types + +An **integer** domain is promoted to a float, because the breakpoints of a subdivision of it +are not integers — otherwise `UniformMesh(4, 0 .. 1)` would try to store `0.25` in an `Int` +and throw an `InexactError` from a long way away. `Rational` and extended-precision types are +left alone, since they are closed under the division `breakpoints` performs and narrowing them +would discard the exactness that is the reason for using them. + +```@example mesh +eltype(UniformMesh(4, 0 .. 1)), +eltype(UniformMesh(4, 0 .. 1//1)), +eltype(UniformMesh(4, big(0.0) .. big(1.0))) +``` + +## Accessors + +| call | returns | +|:--|:--| +| [`breakpoints`](@ref)`(m)` | the `n+1` cell boundaries, increasing, both endpoints included | +| [`ncells`](@ref)`(m)` | `n` | +| [`domain`](@ref)`(m)` | the `ClosedInterval` ``[a,b]`` | +| [`domainlength`](@ref)`(m)` | ``b - a``; named this way because it is the period ``L`` of a periodic basis | +| [`meshwidth`](@ref)`(m)` | the **largest** cell width, the ``h`` a convergence rate is measured against | +| `eltype(m)`, `length(m)`, `first(m)`, `last(m)` | element type, `ncells`, and the two endpoints | + +```@example mesh +m = GeneralMesh([-20.0; range(-10, 10; length = 5); 20.0]) +ncells(m), domain(m), meshwidth(m), diff(breakpoints(m)) +``` + +`meshwidth` is the largest cell, not the average: for that mesh it is `10.0`, not `40/6`. + +!!! warning "`breakpoints` must not be mutated" + For [`GradedMesh`](@ref), [`RandomMesh`](@ref) and [`GeneralMesh`](@ref) this returns the + mesh's *own* array rather than a copy, which is what keeps [`findcell`](@ref) off the + allocator on the innermost loop of a particle deposition. Writing to it corrupts the mesh, + and silently: the domain and cell count are unchanged so nothing rejects the result, while + `hash` and `==` now report a different mesh. [`UniformMesh`](@ref) computes its + breakpoints from a closed form and hands back a fresh vector, but that is an + implementation detail, not a licence. Take a `copy` if you need to modify it. + +## Equality is geometric, `isequal` is not + +`==` and `hash` compare the domain and the breakpoints. `isequal` also compares the *type*, +because the mesh type selects the assembly path — an equally spaced [`GeneralMesh`](@ref) +deliberately does not take the [`CirculantMass`](@ref) route that a [`UniformMesh`](@ref) with +the same breakpoints does. + +```@example mesh +u = UniformMesh(4, 0 .. 1) +g = GeneralMesh(collect(range(0, 1; length = 5))) +u == g, u ≈ g, isequal(u, g) +``` + +So the two are interchangeable as values and distinct as dictionary keys, and an equally +spaced `GeneralMesh` is a legitimate way to force the general assembly path in a test. + +## Keyword arguments worth knowing + +`GradedMesh`'s `amplitude` is the ``a`` in the map ``s \mapsto s + (a/2\pi)\sin 2\pi s``. It +must satisfy ``|a| < 1`` for the map to stay increasing. The derivative of the map varies +between ``1-a`` and ``1+a``, so the ratio of the widest to the narrowest cell approaches +``(1+a)/(1-a)`` as the mesh is refined — the two below differ because a cell width is a finite +difference of the map, not its derivative. + +```@example mesh +w = diff(breakpoints(GradedMesh(12, 0 .. 1; amplitude = 0.4))) +maximum(w) / minimum(w), (1 + 0.4) / (1 - 0.4) +``` + +`RandomMesh`'s widths are ``1 + \sigma r_i`` with ``r_i`` uniform on ``[0,1)`` and `spread` +``= \sigma``, rescaled to fill the domain. The stream is seeded, so the mesh is reproducible; +a different `seed` gives a different mesh. + +```@example mesh +breakpoints(RandomMesh(4, 0 .. 1; seed = 7)) == + breakpoints(RandomMesh(4, 0 .. 1; seed = 7)), +breakpoints(RandomMesh(4, 0 .. 1; seed = 7)) == + breakpoints(RandomMesh(4, 0 .. 1; seed = 8)) +``` + +## What is rejected + +```@example mesh +for bad in (() -> UniformMesh(0, 0 .. 1), + () -> UniformMesh(4, 1 .. 0), + () -> UniformMesh(4, 0 ..

Now says what each actually prints. `using SparseArrays` was dead on the gallery page. The eight timings quoted for `evaluate` against `evaluate_all` had no archived check, which the tree rule requires. They are now read off `scripts/evaluate_cost_scaling.jl`, which measures both paths across p = 3, 6, 8, 12 and fails if the two exponents stop being distinguishable -- p = 6 to 12 costs the single value 64x more and the block 2.6x, i.e. 2^6 against (12/6)^2. The quoted figures are the script's own, so the two cannot drift apart. Also: the three gallery figures whose legends covered the curves now put the legend outside the axes, the home-page pipeline diagram was redrawn aligned, the `PeriodicBSplineDerivative` docstring no longer carries a historical note into the rendered manual, and one comment the new `findcell` docstring had made redundant is gone. --- CHANGELOG.md | 11 ++-- docs/src/gallery.md | 12 ++--- docs/src/index.md | 16 ++++-- docs/src/theory/bsplines.md | 22 ++++---- docs/src/usage/boundary.md | 5 +- scripts/evaluate_cost_scaling.jl | 86 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/bspline.jl | 23 +++++---- 7 files changed, 138 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/evaluate_cost_scaling.jl diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 0ea513d..bfc99cc 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -22,16 +22,17 @@ the boundary conditions and tensor products landed.

The summary line was then the only text in the docstring that disagreed with the rest, and it is wrong for a `Natural` basis, where `local_width` is 5 against `degree + 1 == 4` and a `p+1` buffer raises `DimensionMismatch`. The count is now stated once, in the paragraph that owns the buffer contract. That paragraph in turn claimed "more for a recombined one". Only `Natural` widens the block: `Dirichlet`, `Neumann` and `Robin(1, 1)` are all recombined and all give exactly `p+1`, because `width` is the widest column span of `R` and so exceeds `p+1` only where the condition's stencil does. Now "possibly more", matching `local_width`'s own docstring. The library page's "Eight names ... shared with the rest of the ecosystem" counted `Basis` twice, the second time in the very next sentence listing it among the four re-exports. `Basis` is a type used as a supertype, never a generic extended here, so it does not belong in a sentence about accessor generics — the distinction the CHANGELOG already draws between joining the `Basis` hierarchy and extending the accessor generics. Seven accessors, with `Basis` left to the re-export sentence. No executable line changed.

They are now `@ref`s like the other five. Both names are also exported by a dependency — `nnodes` by GeometricBase, `grid` by ContinuumArrays — so the asymmetry could have been an ambiguous-`@ref` dodge; it was not. The docs build resolves both, with no ambiguity and no unresolved reference. `CompactBasisFunctions` was a docs dependency with no `using` anywhere under `docs/`, appearing only in prose. It had no `[compat]` entry, and the docs environment still reaches it transitively through SimpleSplines, so `Pkg.resolve()` reports no manifest change and the build is unaffected. Removed, on the same rationale that took `using SparseArrays` off the gallery page. Verified by a full `docs/make.jl` build: exit 0, `checkdocs = :exports` satisfied, no new warning attributable to the source.
