FiniteDifferenceDerivative

Provides derivatives for a function (scalar or vector valued). Can be indexed into or the entire tensor of derivatives may be requested. The potential for optimization undoubtedly exists, but the idea is to provide as simple an interface as possible. Robustification needs to be done, but is currently used in CoordinateSystem.jacobian to good effect.

 

__init__(self, f, function_shape=(0, 0), parallelizer=None, logger=None, **fd_opts): 
  • f: FunctionSpec | callable

    the function we would like to take derivatives of

  • function_shape: Iterable[Iterable[int] | int] | None

    the shape of the function we’d like to take the derivatives of
