TensorTimeFunction

class devito.types.TensorTimeFunction(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: TensorFunction

Time varying TensorFunction.

property is_diagonal

Whether the tensor is diagonal.

is_symmetric(simplify=True)

Check if matrix is symmetric matrix, that is square matrix and is equal to its transpose.

By default, simplifications occur before testing symmetry. They can be skipped using ‘simplify=False’; while speeding things a bit, this may however induce false negatives.

Examples

>>> from sympy import Matrix
>>> m = Matrix(2, 2, [0, 1, 1, 2])
>>> m
Matrix([
[0, 1],
[1, 2]])
>>> m.is_symmetric()
True

>>> m = Matrix(2, 2, [0, 1, 2, 0])
>>> m
Matrix([
[0, 1],
[2, 0]])
>>> m.is_symmetric()
False

>>> m = Matrix(2, 3, [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
>>> m
Matrix([
[0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0]])
>>> m.is_symmetric()
False

>>> from sympy.abc import x, y
>>> m = Matrix(3, 3, [1, x**2 + 2*x + 1, y, (x + 1)**2, 2, 0, y, 0, 3])
>>> m
Matrix([
[         1, x**2 + 2*x + 1, y],
[(x + 1)**2,              2, 0],
[         y,              0, 3]])
>>> m.is_symmetric()
True

If the matrix is already simplified, you may speed-up is_symmetric() test by using ‘simplify=False’.

>>> bool(m.is_symmetric(simplify=False))
False
>>> m1 = m.expand()
>>> m1.is_symmetric(simplify=False)
True

property space_dimensions

Spatial dimensions.

space_order

The space order for all components.
