Lazy Series#

Coefficients of lazy series are computed on demand. They have infinite precision, although equality can only be decided in special cases.

EXAMPLES:

Laurent series over the integer ring are particularly useful as generating functions for sequences arising in combinatorics.

sage: L.<z> = LazyLaurentSeriesRing(ZZ)

The generating function of the Fibonacci sequence is:

sage: f = 1 / (1 - z - z^2)
sage: f
1 + z + 2*z^2 + 3*z^3 + 5*z^4 + 8*z^5 + 13*z^6 + O(z^7)

In principle, we can now compute any coefficient of \(f\):

sage: f.coefficient(100)
573147844013817084101

Which coefficients are actually computed depends on the type of implementation. For the sparse implementation, only the coefficients which are needed are computed.

sage: s = L(lambda n: n, valuation=0); s
z + 2*z^2 + 3*z^3 + 4*z^4 + 5*z^5 + 6*z^6 + O(z^7)
sage: s.coefficient(10)
10
sage: s._coeff_stream._cache
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 10: 10}

Using the dense implementation, all coefficients up to the required coefficient are computed.

sage: L.<x> = LazyLaurentSeriesRing(ZZ, sparse=False)
sage: s = L(lambda n: n, valuation=0); s
x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 6*x^6 + O(x^7)
sage: s.coefficient(10)
10
sage: s._coeff_stream._cache
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

We can do arithmetic with lazy power series:

sage: f
1 + z + 2*z^2 + 3*z^3 + 5*z^4 + 8*z^5 + 13*z^6 + O(z^7)
sage: f^-1
1 - z - z^2 + O(z^7)
sage: f + f^-1
2 + z^2 + 3*z^3 + 5*z^4 + 8*z^5 + 13*z^6 + O(z^7)
sage: g = (f + f^-1)*(f - f^-1); g
4*z + 6*z^2 + 8*z^3 + 19*z^4 + 38*z^5 + 71*z^6 + O(z^7)

We call lazy power series whose coefficients are known to be eventually constant ‘exact’. In some cases, computations with such series are much faster. Moreover, these are the series where equality can be decided. For example:

sage: L.<z> = LazyPowerSeriesRing(ZZ)
sage: f = 1 + 2*z^2 / (1 - z)
sage: f - 2 / (1 - z) + 1 + 2*z
0

However, multivariate Taylor series are actually represented as streams of multivariate polynomials. Therefore, the only exact series in this case are polynomials:

sage: L.<x,y> = LazyPowerSeriesRing(ZZ)
sage: 1 / (1-x)
1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + O(x,y)^7

A similar statement is true for lazy symmetric functions:

sage: h = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).h()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(h)
sage: 1 / (1-L(h[1]))
h[] + h[1] + (h[1,1]) + (h[1,1,1]) + (h[1,1,1,1]) + (h[1,1,1,1,1]) + (h[1,1,1,1,1,1]) + O^7

We can change the base ring:

sage: h = g.change_ring(QQ)
sage: h.parent()
Lazy Laurent Series Ring in z over Rational Field
sage: h
4*z + 6*z^2 + 8*z^3 + 19*z^4 + 38*z^5 + 71*z^6 + O(z^7)
sage: hinv = h^-1; hinv
1/4*z^-1 - 3/8 + 1/16*z - 17/32*z^2 + 5/64*z^3 - 29/128*z^4 + 165/256*z^5 + O(z^6)

1/3*x^3 - x^2*y + x*y^2 - 1/2*x^2 + x*y + x

This method determines the valuation of the series by looking for a nonzero coefficient. Hence if the series happens to be zero, then it may run forever.

Lazy Dirichlet series is picklable:

sage: g = loads(dumps(f))
sage: g
1 + 2/2^z + 2/3^z + 3/4^z + 2/5^z + 4/6^z + 2/7^z + O(1/(8^z))

False

sage: D = LazyDirichletSeriesRing(QQ, "s")
sage: D([3, 2]).is_unit()

valuation()#

Return the valuation of self.

This method determines the valuation of the series by looking for a nonzero coefficient. Hence if the series happens to be zero, then it may run forever.

class sage.rings.lazy_series.LazyLaurentSeries(parent, coeff_stream)#

Bases: LazyCauchyProductSeries

A Laurent series where the coefficients are computed lazily.

EXAMPLES:

sage: L.<z> = LazyLaurentSeriesRing(ZZ)

We can build a series from a function and specify if the series eventually takes a constant value:

sage: f = L(lambda i: i, valuation=-3, constant=-1, degree=3)
sage: f
-3*z^-3 - 2*z^-2 - z^-1 + z + 2*z^2 - z^3 - z^4 - z^5 + O(z^6)
sage: f[-2]
-2
sage: f[10]
-1
sage: f[-5]
0

sage: f = L(lambda i: i, valuation=-3)
sage: f
-3*z^-3 - 2*z^-2 - z^-1 + z + 2*z^2 + 3*z^3 + O(z^4)
sage: f[20]
20

Anything that converts into a polynomial can be input, where we can also specify the valuation or if the series eventually takes a constant value:

sage: L([-5,2,0,5])
-5 + 2*z + 5*z^3
sage: L([-5,2,0,5], constant=6)
-5 + 2*z + 5*z^3 + 6*z^4 + 6*z^5 + 6*z^6 + O(z^7)
sage: L([-5,2,0,5], degree=6, constant=6)
-5 + 2*z + 5*z^3 + 6*z^6 + 6*z^7 + 6*z^8 + O(z^9)
sage: L([-5,2,0,5], valuation=-2, degree=3, constant=6)
-5*z^-2 + 2*z^-1 + 5*z + 6*z^3 + 6*z^4 + 6*z^5 + O(z^6)
sage: L([-5,2,0,5], valuation=5)
-5*z^5 + 2*z^6 + 5*z^8
sage: L({-2:9, 3:4}, constant=2, degree=5)
9*z^-2 + 4*z^3 + 2*z^5 + 2*z^6 + 2*z^7 + O(z^8)

We can also perform arithmetic:

sage: f = 1 / (1 - z - z^2)
sage: f
1 + z + 2*z^2 + 3*z^3 + 5*z^4 + 8*z^5 + 13*z^6 + O(z^7)
sage: f.coefficient(100)
573147844013817084101
sage: f = (z^-2 - 1 + 2*z) / (z^-1 - z + 3*z^2)
sage: f
z^-1 - z^2 - z^4 + 3*z^5 + O(z^6)

However, we may not always be able to know when a result is exactly a polynomial:

sage: f * (z^-1 - z + 3*z^2)
z^-2 - 1 + 2*z + O(z^5)
approximate_series(prec, name=None)#

sage: z = L.gen()
sage: f = (z - 2*z^3)^5/(1 - 2*z)
sage: f
z^5 + 2*z^6 - 6*z^7 - 12*z^8 + 16*z^9 + 32*z^10 - 16*z^11 + O(z^12)

sage: h.parent()

compose(g, check)#

Return the composition of self with g.

Given two Laurent series \(f\) and \(g\) over the same base ring, the composition \((f \circ g)(z) = f(g(z))\) is defined if and only if:

  • \(g = 0\) and \(val(f) >= 0\),

  • \(g\) is non-zero and \(f\) has only finitely many non-zero coefficients,

  • \(g\) is non-zero and \(val(g) > 0\).

class sage.rings.lazy_series.LazyPowerSeries(parent, coeff_stream)#

compose(check, *g)#

Return the composition of self with g.

The arity of self must be equal to the number of arguments provided.

Given a Taylor series \(f\) of arity \(n\) and a tuple of Taylor series \(g = (g_1,\dots, g_n)\) over the same base ring, the composition \(f \circ g\) is defined if and only if for each \(1\leq k\leq n\):

  • \(g_i\) is zero, or

  • setting all variables except the \(i`th in `f\) to zero yields a polynomial, or

  • \(val(g_i) > 0\).

If \(f\) is a univariate ‘exact’ series, we can check whether \(f\) is a actually a polynomial. However, if \(f\) is a multivariate series, we have no way to test whether setting all but one variable of \(f\) to zero yields a polynomial, except if \(f\) itself is ‘exact’ and therefore a polynomial.

INPUT:

  • g – other series, all can be coerced into the same parent

EXAMPLES:

sage: L.<x, y, z> = LazyPowerSeriesRing(QQ)
sage: M.<a, b> = LazyPowerSeriesRing(ZZ)
sage: g1 = 1 / (1 - x)
sage: g2 = x + y^2
sage: p = a^2 + b + 1
sage: p(g1, g2) - g1^2 - g2 - 1
O(x,y,z)^7

sage: M.<a> = LazyPowerSeriesRing(QQ)
sage: Ea = M(lambda n: 1/factorial(n))
sage: Ex = L(lambda n: 1/factorial(n)*x^n)

1/24*x^4*y + 2/3*x^3*y^2 + 3/4*x^2*y^3 + 1/6*x*y^4 + 1/120*y^5

So, there are \(3! 2! 2/3 = 8\) mappings from a three element set to a two element set.

We perform the composition with a lazy Laurent series:

sage: fg = 1 / (1 - g - g*g); fg
1 + 1/(2^s) + 1/(3^s) + 3/4^s + 1/(5^s) + 5/6^s + 1/(7^s) + O(1/(8^s))
sage: fog - fg

sage: f = 1 / (1 - 2*a)

arithmetic_product(check, *args)#

Return the arithmetic product of self with g.

The arithmetic product is a binary operation \(\boxdot\) on the ring of symmetric functions which is bilinear in its two arguments and satisfies

\[p_{\lambda} \boxdot p_{\mu} = \prod\limits_{i \geq 1, j \geq 1} p_{\mathrm{lcm}(\lambda_i, \mu_j)}^{\mathrm{gcd}(\lambda_i, \mu_j)}\]

for any two partitions \(\lambda = (\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3, \dots )\) and \(\mu = (\mu_1, \mu_2, \mu_3, \dots )\) (where \(p_{\nu}\) denotes the power-sum symmetric function indexed by the partition \(\nu\), and \(p_i\) denotes the \(i\)-th power-sum symmetric function). This is enough to define the arithmetic product if the base ring is torsion-free as a \(\ZZ\)-module; for all other cases the arithmetic product is uniquely determined by requiring it to be functorial in the base ring. See http://mathoverflow.net/questions/138148/ for a discussion of this arithmetic product.

Warning

The operation \(f \boxdot g\) was originally defined only for symmetric functions \(f\) and \(g\) without constant term. We extend this definition using the convention that the least common multiple of any integer with \(0\) is \(0\).

If \(f\) and \(g\) are two symmetric functions which are homogeneous of degrees \(a\) and \(b\), respectively, then \(f \boxdot g\) is homogeneous of degree \(ab\).

The arithmetic product is commutative and associative and has unity \(e_1 = p_1 = h_1\).

For species \(M\) and \(N\) such that \(M[\varnothing] = N[\varnothing] = \varnothing\), their arithmetic product is the species \(M \boxdot N\) of “\(M\)-assemblies of cloned \(N\)-structures”. This operation is defined and several examples are given in [MM2008].

INPUT:

  • g – a cycle index series having the same parent as self

  • check – (default: True) a Boolean which, when set to False, will cause input checks to be skipped

OUTPUT:

The arithmetic product of self with g.

EXAMPLES:

For \(C\) the species of (oriented) cycles and \(L_{+}\) the species of nonempty linear orders, \(C \boxdot L_{+}\) corresponds to the species of “regular octopuses”; a \((C \boxdot L_{+})\)-structure is a cycle of some length, each of whose elements is an ordered list of a length which is consistent for all the lists in the structure.

sage: R.<q> = QQ[]
sage: p = SymmetricFunctions(R).p()

In particular, the number of regular octopuses is:

sage: [r[n].coefficient([1]*n) for n in range(8)]
[0, 1, 3, 8, 42, 144, 1440, 5760]

It is shown in [MM2008] that the exponential generating function for regular octopuses satisfies \((C \boxdot L_{+}) (x) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \sigma (n) (n - 1)! \frac{x^{n}}{n!}\) (where \(\sigma (n)\) is the sum of the divisors of \(n\)).

compositional_inverse()#

Return the compositional inverse of self.

Given a symmetric function \(f\), the compositional inverse is a symmetric function \(g\) over the same base ring, such that \(f \circ g = p_1\). Thus, it is the inverse with respect to plethystic substitution.

The compositional inverse exists if and only if:

  • \(val(f) = 1\), or

  • \(f = a + b p_1\) with \(a, b \neq 0\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: h = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).h()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(h)
sage: f = L(lambda n: h[n]) - 1
sage: f(f.revert())
h[1] + O^7

ALGORITHM:

Let \(F\) be a symmetric function with valuation \(1\), i.e., whose constant term vanishes and whose degree one term equals \(b p_1\). Then

\[(F - b p_1) \circ G = F \circ G - b p_1 \circ G = p_1 - b G,\]

and therefore \(G = (p_1 - (F - b p_1) \circ G) / b\), which allows recursive computation of \(G\).

The compositional inverse \(\Omega\) of the symmetric function \(h_1 + h_2 + \dots\) can be handled much more efficiently using specialized methods. See LogarithmCycleIndexSeries()

derivative_with_respect_to_p1(n=1)#

Return the symmetric function obtained by taking the derivative of self with respect to the power-sum symmetric function \(p_1\) when the expansion of self in the power-sum basis is considered as a polynomial in \(p_k\)’s (with \(k \geq 1\)).

This is the same as skewing self by the first power-sum symmetric function \(p_1\).

INPUT:

  • n – (default: 1) nonnegative integer which determines which power of the derivative is taken

EXAMPLES:

The species \(E\) of sets satisfies the relationship \(E' = E\):

sage: T = LazySymmetricFunctions(h)

functorial_composition(*args)#

Return the functorial composition of self and g.

Let \(X\) be a finite set of cardinality \(m\). For a group action of the symmetric group \(g: S_n \to S_X\) and a (possibly virtual) representation of the symmetric group on \(X\), \(f: S_X \to GL(V)\), the functorial composition is the (virtual) representation of the symmetric group \(f \Box g: S_n \to GL(V)\) given by \(\sigma \mapsto f(g(\sigma))\).

This is more naturally phrased in the language of combinatorial species. Let \(F\) and \(G\) be species, then their functorial composition is the species \(F \Box G\) with \((F \Box G) [A] = F[ G[A] ]\). In other words, an \((F \Box G)\)-structure on a set \(A\) of labels is an \(F\)-structure whose labels are the set of all \(G\)-structures on \(A\).

The Frobenius character (or cycle index series) of \(F \Box G\) can be computed as follows, see section 2.2 of [BLL]):

\[\sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{1}{n!} \sum_{\sigma \in \mathfrak{S}_{n}} \operatorname{fix} F[ (G[\sigma])_{1}, (G[\sigma])_{2}, \ldots ] \, p_{1}^{\sigma_{1}} p_{2}^{\sigma_{2}} \cdots.\]

Warning

The operation \(f \Box g\) only makes sense when \(g\) corresponds to a permutation representation, i.e., a group action.

EXAMPLES:

The species \(G\) of simple graphs can be expressed in terms of a functorial composition: \(G = \mathfrak{p} \Box \mathfrak{p}_{2}\), where \(\mathfrak{p}\) is the SubsetSpecies.:

O^7
is_unit()#

Return whether this element is a unit in the ring.

EXAMPLES:

sage: m = SymmetricFunctions(ZZ).m()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(m)

sage: L(2*m[1]).is_unit()
False

sage: L(-1 + 2*m[1]).is_unit()
True

sage: L(2 + m[1]).is_unit()
False

sage: m = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).m()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(m)

sage: L(2 + 3*m[1]).is_unit()
True
plethysm(check, *args)#

Return the composition of self with g.

The arity of self must be equal to the number of arguments provided.

Given a lazy symmetric function \(f\) of arity \(n\) and a tuple of lazy symmetric functions \(g = (g_1,\dots, g_n)\) over the same base ring, the composition (or plethysm) \((f \circ g)\) is defined if and only if for each \(1\leq k\leq n\):

  • \(g_i = 0\), or

  • setting all alphabets except the \(i`th in `f\) to zero yields a symmetric function with only finitely many non-zero coefficients, or

  • \(val(g) > 0\).

If \(f\) is a univariate ‘exact’ lazy symmetric function, we can check whether \(f\) has only finitely many non-zero coefficients. However, if \(f\) has larger arity, we have no way to test whether setting all but one alphabets of \(f\) to zero yields a polynomial, except if \(f\) itself is ‘exact’ and therefore a symmetric function with only finitely many non-zero coefficients.

INPUT:

  • g – other (lazy) symmetric functions

Todo

Allow specification of degree one elements.

EXAMPLES:

sage: P.<q> = QQ[]
sage: s = SymmetricFunctions(P).s()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(s)
sage: f = s[2]
sage: g = s[3]
sage: L(f)(L(g)) - L(f(g))
0

sage: f = s[2] + s[2,1]
sage: g = s[1] + s[2,2]
sage: L(f)(L(g)) - L(f(g))
0

sage: L(f)(g) - L(f(g))
0

sage: f = s[2] + s[2,1]
sage: g = s[1] + s[2,2]
sage: L(f)(L(q*g)) - L(f(q*g))
0

The Frobenius character of the permutation action on set partitions is a plethysm:

sage: s = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).s()
sage: S = LazySymmetricFunctions(s)
sage: E1 = S(lambda n: s[n], valuation=1)
sage: E = 1 + E1
sage: P = E(E1)
sage: P[:5]
[s[], s[1], 2*s[2], s[2, 1] + 3*s[3], 2*s[2, 2] + 2*s[3, 1] + 5*s[4]]

The plethysm with a tensor product is also implemented:

sage: s = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).s()
sage: X = tensor([s[1],s[[]]])
sage: Y = tensor([s[[]],s[1]])
sage: S = LazySymmetricFunctions(s)
sage: S2 = LazySymmetricFunctions(tensor([s, s]))
sage: A = S(s[1,1,1])
sage: B = S2(X+Y)
sage: A(B)
(s[]#s[1,1,1]+s[1]#s[1,1]+s[1,1]#s[1]+s[1,1,1]#s[])

sage: H = S(lambda n: s[n])
sage: H(S2(X*Y))
(s[]#s[]) + (s[1]#s[1]) + (s[1,1]#s[1,1]+s[2]#s[2])
 + (s[1,1,1]#s[1,1,1]+s[2,1]#s[2,1]+s[3]#s[3]) + O^7
sage: H(S2(X+Y))
(s[]#s[]) + (s[]#s[1]+s[1]#s[]) + (s[]#s[2]+s[1]#s[1]+s[2]#s[])
 + (s[]#s[3]+s[1]#s[2]+s[2]#s[1]+s[3]#s[])
 + (s[]#s[4]+s[1]#s[3]+s[2]#s[2]+s[3]#s[1]+s[4]#s[])
 + (s[]#s[5]+s[1]#s[4]+s[2]#s[3]+s[3]#s[2]+s[4]#s[1]+s[5]#s[])
 + (s[]#s[6]+s[1]#s[5]+s[2]#s[4]+s[3]#s[3]+s[4]#s[2]+s[5]#s[1]+s[6]#s[])
 + O^7
plethystic_inverse()#

Return the compositional inverse of self.

Given a symmetric function \(f\), the compositional inverse is a symmetric function \(g\) over the same base ring, such that \(f \circ g = p_1\). Thus, it is the inverse with respect to plethystic substitution.

The compositional inverse exists if and only if:

  • \(val(f) = 1\), or

  • \(f = a + b p_1\) with \(a, b \neq 0\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: h = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).h()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(h)
sage: f = L(lambda n: h[n]) - 1
sage: f(f.revert())
h[1] + O^7

ALGORITHM:

Let \(F\) be a symmetric function with valuation \(1\), i.e., whose constant term vanishes and whose degree one term equals \(b p_1\). Then

\[(F - b p_1) \circ G = F \circ G - b p_1 \circ G = p_1 - b G,\]

and therefore \(G = (p_1 - (F - b p_1) \circ G) / b\), which allows recursive computation of \(G\).

revert()#

Return the compositional inverse of self.

Given a symmetric function \(f\), the compositional inverse is a symmetric function \(g\) over the same base ring, such that \(f \circ g = p_1\). Thus, it is the inverse with respect to plethystic substitution.

The compositional inverse exists if and only if:

  • \(val(f) = 1\), or

  • \(f = a + b p_1\) with \(a, b \neq 0\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: h = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).h()
sage: L = LazySymmetricFunctions(h)
sage: f = L(lambda n: h[n]) - 1
sage: f(f.revert())
h[1] + O^7

ALGORITHM:

Let \(F\) be a symmetric function with valuation \(1\), i.e., whose constant term vanishes and whose degree one term equals \(b p_1\). Then

\[(F - b p_1) \circ G = F \circ G - b p_1 \circ G = p_1 - b G,\]

and therefore \(G = (p_1 - (F - b p_1) \circ G) / b\), which allows recursive computation of \(G\).

symmetric_function(degree=None)#

Return self as a symmetric function if self is actually so.

INPUT:

  • degreeNone or an integer

OUTPUT:

If degree is not None, the terms of the series of degree greater than degree are first truncated. If degree is None and the series is not a polynomial polynomial, a ValueError is raised.

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = SymmetricFunctions(QQ).s()
sage: S = LazySymmetricFunctions(s)
sage: elt = S(s[2])
sage: elt.symmetric_function()
s[2]
