ex3.py: Matrix-free eigenproblem for the 2-D Laplacian ====================================================== This example solves the eigenproblem for the 2-D discrete Laplacian without building the matrix explicitly. The full source code for this demo can be `downloaded here <../_static/ex3.py>`__. Initialization is similar to previous examples. :: import sys, slepc4py slepc4py.init(sys.argv) from petsc4py import PETSc from slepc4py import SLEPc import numpy as np In this case, the program cannot be run in parallel, so we check that the number of MPI processes is 1. In order to enable parallelism, we should implement a parallel matrix-vector operation ourselves, which is not done in this example. :: assert PETSc.COMM_WORLD.getSize() == 1 Print = PETSc.Sys.Print This function computes the matrix-vector product f = L*x where the Laplacian L is not built explicitly, and the vectors x,f are viewed as two-dimensional arrays associated to grid points. :: def laplace2d(U, x, f): U[:,:] = 0 U[1:-1, 1:-1] = x # Grid spacing m, n = x.shape hx = 1.0/(m-1) # x grid spacing hy = 1.0/(n-1) # y grid spacing # Setup 5-points stencil u = U[1:-1, 1:-1] # center uN = U[1:-1, :-2] # north uS = U[1:-1, 2: ] # south uW = U[ :-2, 1:-1] # west uE = U[2:, 1:-1] # east # Apply Laplacian f[:,:] = \ (2*u - uE - uW) * (hy/hx) \ + (2*u - uN - uS) * (hx/hy) \ For a matrix-free solution in slepc4py we have to create a class that wraps the matrix-vector operation and optionally other operations of the matrix. In this case, we provide the constructor and the ``mult`` operation, that simply calls the ``laplace2d`` function above. :: class Laplacian2D(object): def __init__(self, m, n): self.m, self.n = m, n scalar = PETSc.ScalarType self.U = np.zeros([m+2, n+2], dtype=scalar) def mult(self, A, x, y): m, n = self.m, self.n xx = x.getArray(readonly=1).reshape(m,n) yy = y.getArray(readonly=0).reshape(m,n) laplace2d(self.U, xx, yy) In this example, building the matrix amounts to creating an object of the class defined above, and passing it to a special petsc4py matrix with `createPython() `. :: def construct_operator(m, n): # Create shell matrix context = Laplacian2D(m,n) A = PETSc.Mat().createPython([m*n,m*n], context) return A This function receives the matrix and the problem type, then solves the eigenvalue problem and prints information about the computed solution. Although we know that eigenvalues and eigenvectors are real in this example, the function is prepared to solve it as a non-symmetric problem, by passing `SLEPc.EPS.ProblemType.NHEP`, that is why the code handles possibly complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors. :: def solve_eigensystem(A, problem_type=SLEPc.EPS.ProblemType.HEP): # Create the result vectors xr, xi = A.createVecs() # Setup the eigensolver E = SLEPc.EPS().create() E.setOperators(A,None) E.setDimensions(3,PETSc.DECIDE) E.setProblemType(problem_type) E.setFromOptions() # Solve the eigensystem E.solve() Print("") its = E.getIterationNumber() Print("Number of iterations of the method: %i" % its) sol_type = E.getType() Print("Solution method: %s" % sol_type) nev, ncv, mpd = E.getDimensions() Print("Number of requested eigenvalues: %i" % nev) tol, maxit = E.getTolerances() Print("Stopping condition: tol=%.4g, maxit=%d" % (tol, maxit)) nconv = E.getConverged() Print("Number of converged eigenpairs: %d" % nconv) if nconv > 0: Print("") Print(" k ||Ax-kx||/||kx|| ") Print("----------------- ------------------") for i in range(nconv): k = E.getEigenpair(i, xr, xi) error = E.computeError(i) if k.imag != 0.0: Print(" %9f%+9f j %12g" % (k.real, k.imag, error)) else: Print(" %12f %12g" % (k.real, error)) Print("") The main program simply processes three user-defined command-line options and calls the other two functions. :: def main(): opts = PETSc.Options() N = opts.getInt('N', 32) m = opts.getInt('m', N) n = opts.getInt('n', m) Print("Symmetric Eigenproblem (matrix-free), " "N=%d (%dx%d grid)" % (m*n, m, n)) A = construct_operator(m,n) solve_eigensystem(A) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
