This project provides a standalone interface to evaluate basis function expansion forces for a flexible number of components. The main libraries are headers only, so no compilation is required beyond your application. For Python extensions, compilation may be required.
Each component is described by four objects:
- Sturm-Louiville solution basis functions
- The spherically-symmetric monopole model
- The weights for the basis through time
- (optional) The location of the basis centre through time
The libraries to realise the potentials are in include/. Some working examples are located in the examples/ folder.
Prerequisite: pybind11. Install via
git submodule add -b stable ../../pybind/pybind11 extern/pybind11.
Prerequisite: yaml-cpp. Install via git submodule add https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp extern/yaml-cpp.
Then update both with git submodule update --init.
sphexpansion now uses cmake as the primary installation tool (to build the example applications). To use, create a directory build, then in that directory, cmake ..; make to create working examples in build/examples.
You may have to install eigen (v3), a header-only C++ library. As a header only library, it is sufficient to download the tarball, unpack, and copy the Eigen/ directory to /usr/local/include (which is already part of the search path for clang). You may also use brew install eigen if using a Mac with homebrew. If using macports, the command is sudo port install eigen3.
You may also need to undo paths that anaconda has put in place, depending on how you are installing. Check echo $PATH and reverse order if anaconda is not desired.
