(Asymptotic) Term Monoids#

This module implements asymptotic term monoids. The elements of these monoids are used behind the scenes when performing calculations in an asymptotic ring.

The monoids build upon the (asymptotic) growth groups. While growth elements only model the growth of a function as it tends towards infinity (or tends towards another fixed point; see (Asymptotic) Growth Groups for more details), an asymptotic term additionally specifies its “type” and performs the actual arithmetic operations (multiplication and partial addition/absorption of terms).

Besides an abstract base term GenericTerm, this module implements the following types of terms:

A characteristic property of asymptotic terms is that some terms are able to “absorb” other terms (see absorb()). For instance, \(O(x^2)\) is able to absorb \(O(x)\) (with result \(O(x^2)\)), and \(3\cdot x^5\) is able to absorb \(-2\cdot x^5\) (with result \(x^5\)). Essentially, absorption can be interpreted as the addition of “compatible” terms (partial addition).

Absorption of Asymptotic Terms#

A characteristic property of asymptotic terms is that some terms are able to “absorb” other terms. This is realized with the method absorb().

For instance, \(O(x^2)\) is able to absorb \(O(x)\) (with result \(O(x^2)\)). This is because the functions bounded by linear growth are bounded by quadratic growth as well. Another example would be that \(3x^5\) is able to absorb \(-2x^5\) (with result \(x^5\)), which simply corresponds to addition.

Essentially, absorption can be interpreted as the addition of “compatible” terms (partial addition).

We want to show step by step which terms can be absorbed by which other terms. We start by defining the necessary term monoids and some terms:

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import OTermMonoid, ExactTermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: G = GrowthGroup('x^ZZ'); x = G.gen()
sage: OT = OTermMonoid(TermMonoid, growth_group=G, coefficient_ring=QQ)
sage: ET = ExactTermMonoid(TermMonoid, growth_group=G, coefficient_ring=QQ)
sage: ot1 = OT(x); ot2 = OT(x^2)
sage: et1 = ET(x^2, coefficient=2)

  • Because of the definition of \(O\)-terms (see Wikipedia article Big_O_notation), OTerm are able to absorb all other asymptotic terms with weaker or equal growth. In our implementation, this means that OTerm is able to absorb other OTerm, as well as ExactTerm, as long as the growth of the other term is less than or equal to the growth of this element:

    sage: ot1, ot2
(O(x), O(x^2))
sage: ot1.can_absorb(ot2), ot2.can_absorb(ot1)
(False, True)
sage: et1
2*x^2
sage: ot1.can_absorb(et1)
False
sage: ot2.can_absorb(et1)
True

    The result of this absorption always is the dominant (absorbing) OTerm:

    sage: ot1.absorb(ot1)
O(x)
sage: ot2.absorb(ot1)
O(x^2)
sage: ot2.absorb(et1)
O(x^2)

    These examples correspond to \(O(x) + O(x) = O(x)\), \(O(x^2) + O(x) = O(x^2)\), and \(O(x^2) + 2x^2 = O(x^2)\).

  • ExactTerm can only absorb another ExactTerm if the growth coincides with the growth of this element:

    sage: et1.can_absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=5))
True
sage: any(et1.can_absorb(t) for t in [ot1, ot2])
False

    As mentioned above, absorption directly corresponds to addition in this case:

    sage: et1.absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=5))
7*x^2

    When adding two exact terms, they might cancel out. For technical reasons, None is returned in this case:

    sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=5).can_absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=-5))
True
sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=5).absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=-5)) is None
True

  • The abstract base terms GenericTerm and TermWithCoefficient can neither absorb any other term, nor be absorbed by any other term.

If absorb is called on a term that cannot be absorbed, an ArithmeticError is raised:

sage: ot1.absorb(ot2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ArithmeticError: O(x) cannot absorb O(x^2)

This would only work the other way around:

sage: ot2.absorb(ot1)
O(x^2)

Comparison#

The comparison of asymptotic terms with \(\leq\) is implemented as follows:

  • When comparing t1 <= t2, the coercion framework first tries to find a common parent for both terms. If this fails, False is returned.

  • In case the coerced terms do not have a coefficient in their common parent (e.g. OTerm), the growth of the two terms is compared.

  • Otherwise, if the coerced terms have a coefficient (e.g. ExactTerm), we compare whether t1 has a growth that is strictly weaker than the growth of t2. If so, we return True. If the terms have equal growth, then we return True if and only if the coefficients coincide as well.

    In all other cases, we return False.

Long story short: we consider terms with different coefficients that have equal growth to be incomparable.

Classes and Methods#

class sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.BTerm(parent, growth, valid_from, **kwds)#

Bases: TermWithCoefficient

Class for asymptotic B-terms.

A B-term represents all functions which (in absolute value) are bounded by the given growth and coefficient for the parameters given by valid_from. For example, we have terms that represent functions

  • bounded by \(5|x|^2\) for \(|x| \ge 3\),

  • bounded by \(42|x|^3\) for \(|x| \ge 15\) and \(|y| \ge 15\), or

  • bounded by \(42 |x|^3 |y|^2\) for \(|x| \ge 10\) and \(|y| \ge 20\) (see below for the actual examples).

INPUT:

  • parent – the parent of the asymptotic term

  • growth – an asymptotic growth element of the parent’s growth group

  • coefficient – an element of the parent’s coefficient ring

  • valid_from – dictionary mapping variable names to lower bounds for the corresponding variable. The bound implied by this term is valid when all variables are at least their corresponding lower bound. If a number is passed to valid_from, then the lower bounds for all variables of the asymptotic expansion are set to this number

EXAMPLES:

We revisit the examples from the introduction:

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: G = GrowthGroup('x^ZZ * y^ZZ')
sage: T = TermMonoid('B', growth_group=G, coefficient_ring=ZZ)
sage: x, y = G('x'), G('y')

This is a term bounded by \(5|x|^2\) for \(|x| \ge 3\):

sage: T(x^2, coefficient=5, valid_from={'x': 3})
B(5*x^2, x >= 3)

This is a term bounded by \(42|x|^3\) for \(|x| \ge 15\) and \(|y| \ge 15\):

sage: T(x^3, coefficient=42, valid_from={'x': 15, 'y': 15})
B(42*x^3, x >= 15, y >= 15)

This is a term bounded by \(42 |x|^3 |y|^2\) for \(|x| \ge 10\) and \(|y| \ge 20\):

sage: T(x^3*y^2, coefficient=42, valid_from={'x': 10, 'y': 20})
B(42*x^3*y^2, x >= 10, y >= 20)

sage: TermMonoid = TermMonoidFactory('__main__.TermMonoid')
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: G = GrowthGroup('z^QQ')
sage: T = TermMonoid('B', G, ZZ)
sage: tuple(islice(T.some_elements(), int(10)))
(B(z^(1/2), z >= 0),

sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.DefaultTermMonoidFactory = Term Monoid Factory 'sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.DefaultTermMonoidFactory'#

A factory for asymptotic term monoids. This is an instance of TermMonoidFactory whose documentation provides more details.

class sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.ExactTerm(parent, growth, coefficient)#

Bases: TermWithCoefficient

Class for asymptotic exact terms. These terms primarily consist of an asymptotic growth element as well as a coefficient.

INPUT:

  • parent – the parent of the asymptotic term.

  • growth – an asymptotic growth element from parent.growth_group.

  • coefficient – an element from parent.coefficient_ring.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import ExactTermMonoid
sage: G = GrowthGroup('x^ZZ'); x = G.gen()
sage: ET = ExactTermMonoid(TermMonoid, G, QQ)

Asymptotic exact terms may be multiplied (with the usual rules applying):

sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=3) * ET(x, coefficient=-1)
-3*x^3
sage: ET(x^0, coefficient=4) * ET(x^5, coefficient=2)
8*x^5

They may also be multiplied with \(O\)-terms:

sage: OT = TermMonoid('O', G, QQ)
sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=42) * OT(x)
O(x^3)

Absorption for asymptotic exact terms relates to addition:

sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=5).can_absorb(ET(x^5, coefficient=12))
False
sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=5).can_absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=1))
True
sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=5).absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=1))
6*x^2

Note that, as for technical reasons, \(0\) is not allowed as a coefficient for an asymptotic term with coefficient. Instead None is returned if two asymptotic exact terms cancel out each other during absorption:

sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=42).can_absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=-42))
True
sage: ET(x^2, coefficient=42).absorb(ET(x^2, coefficient=-42)) is None
True

Exact terms can also be created by converting monomials with coefficient from the symbolic ring, or a suitable polynomial or power series ring:

sage: x = var('x'); x.parent()
Symbolic Ring
sage: ET(5*x^2)
5*x^2
can_absorb(other)#

Check whether this exact term can absorb other.

INPUT:

True
sage: t1.can_absorb(t3) or t3.can_absorb(t1)

Element#

alias of ExactTerm

class sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.GenericTerm(parent, growth)#

Bases: MultiplicativeGroupElement

Base class for asymptotic terms. Mainly the structure and several properties of asymptotic terms are handled here.

INPUT:

  • parent – the parent of the asymptotic term.

  • growth – an asymptotic growth element.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import GenericTermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ArithmeticError: Generic Term with growth x cannot absorb Generic Term with growth x^2
sage: t1.can_absorb(t1)
False
absorb(other, check=True)#

Absorb the asymptotic term other and return the resulting asymptotic term.

INPUT:

  • other – an asymptotic term.

  • check – a boolean. If check is True (default), then can_absorb is called before absorption.

OUTPUT:

An asymptotic term or None if a cancellation occurs. If no absorption can be performed, an ArithmeticError is raised.

Note

Setting check to False is meant to be used in cases where the respective comparison is done externally (in order to avoid duplicate checking).

For a more detailed explanation of the absorption of asymptotic terms see the module description.

EXAMPLES:

We want to demonstrate in which cases an asymptotic term is able to absorb another term, as well as explain the output of this operation. We start by defining some parents and elements:

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid
sage: G_QQ = GrowthGroup('x^QQ'); x = G_QQ.gen()
sage: OT = TermMonoid('O', G_QQ, coefficient_ring=QQ)
sage: ET = TermMonoid('exact', G_QQ, coefficient_ring=QQ)
sage: ot1 = OT(x); ot2 = OT(x^2)
sage: et1 = ET(x, coefficient=100); et2 = ET(x^2, coefficient=2)
sage: et3 = ET(x^2, coefficient=1); et4 = ET(x^2, coefficient=-2)

\(O\)-Terms are able to absorb other \(O\)-terms and exact terms with weaker or equal growth.

sage: ot1.absorb(ot1)
O(x)
sage: ot1.absorb(et1)
O(x)
sage: ot1.absorb(et1) is ot1
True

ExactTerm is able to absorb another ExactTerm if the terms have the same growth. In this case, absorption is nothing else than an addition of the respective coefficients:

sage: et2.absorb(et3)
3*x^2
sage: et3.absorb(et2)
3*x^2
sage: et3.absorb(et4)
-x^2

Note that, for technical reasons, the coefficient \(0\) is not allowed, and thus None is returned if two exact terms cancel each other out:

sage: et2.absorb(et4)
sage: et4.absorb(et2) is None
True
can_absorb(other)#

Check whether this asymptotic term is able to absorb the asymptotic term other.

INPUT:

  • other – an asymptotic term.

OUTPUT:

A boolean.

Note

A GenericTerm cannot absorb any other term.

See the module description for a detailed explanation of absorption.

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GenericGrowthGroup
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import GenericTermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid

sage: t1.can_absorb(t2)  # indirect doctest
False
sage: t2.can_absorb(t1)  # indirect doctest
False
construction()#

Return a construction of this term.

INPUT:

Nothing.

OUTPUT:

Parent for generic asymptotic terms.

INPUT:

  • growth_group – a growth group (i.e. an instance of GenericGrowthGroup).

  • coefficient_ring – a ring which contains the (maybe implicit) coefficients of the elements.

exception sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.ZeroCoefficientError#

Bases: ValueError

sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.absorption(left, right)#

Let one of the two passed terms absorb the other.

Helper function used by AsymptoticExpansion.

Note

If neither of the terms can absorb the other, an ArithmeticError is raised.

See the module description for a detailed explanation of absorption.

INPUT:

  • left – an asymptotic term.

  • right – an asymptotic term.

OUTPUT:

An asymptotic term or None.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.growth_group import GrowthGroup
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import DefaultTermMonoidFactory as TermMonoid
sage: from sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid import absorption
sage: T = TermMonoid('O', GrowthGroup('x^ZZ'), ZZ)
sage: absorption(T(x^2), T(x^3))
O(x^3)
sage: absorption(T(x^3), T(x^2))
O(x^3)

sage: T = TermMonoid('exact', GrowthGroup('x^ZZ'), ZZ)
sage: absorption(T(x^2), T(x^3))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ArithmeticError: Absorption between x^2 and x^3 is not possible.
sage.rings.asymptotic.term_monoid.can_absorb(left, right)#

Return whether one of the two input terms is able to absorb the other.

Helper function used by AsymptoticExpansion.

INPUT:

  • left – an asymptotic term.

  • right – an asymptotic term.

OUTPUT:

A boolean.
