Discrete fields are stored in one of two forms:
- The `field_t` form is a multidimensional `numpy.ndarray`
- The `fdfield_t` form is a multidimensional `numpy.ndarray`
+ For a scalar field, this is just `U[m, n, p]`, where `m`, `n`, and `p` are
discrete indices referring to positions on the x, y, and z axes respectively.
+ For a vector field, the first index specifies which vector component is accessed:
`E[:, m, n, p] = [Ex[m, n, p], Ey[m, n, p], Ez[m, n, p]]`.
- The `vfield_t` form is simply a vectorzied (i.e. 1D) version of the `field_t`,
- The `vfdfield_t` form is simply a vectorzied (i.e. 1D) version of the `field_t`,
as obtained by `meanas.fdmath.vectorization.vec` (effectively just `numpy.ravel`)
Operators which act on fields also come in two forms:
+ Python functions, created by the functions in `meanas.fdmath.functional`.
The generated functions act on fields in the `field_t` form.
The generated functions act on fields in the `fdfield_t` form.
+ Linear operators, usually 2D sparse matrices using `scipy.sparse`, created
by `meanas.fdmath.operators`. These operators act on vectorized fields in the
`vfield_t` form.
`vfdfield_t` form.
The operations performed should be equivalent: `functional.op(*args)(E)` should be
equivalent to `unvec(operators.op(*args) @ vec(E), E.shape[1:])`.
