All Implemented Interfaces:

ICloneWithContext, IEnumerateDependencies, IEquatableDefinition, IFreezable, IPartialDifferentiable

public class PartialDerivativesFixed
extends DefinitionalObject
implements IPartialDifferentiable

An object with fixed partial derivatives.

PartialDerivativesFixed and PartialDerivativesSum are meant as types to be used during the creation of a PartialDerivativesEvaluator. For example, a PartialDerivativesFixed is used to represent an identity partial or a partial with zero partial derivatives, and a PartialDerivativesSum is used to aggregate the partial derivatives of different terms of within a type. You generally should not use either of these types as permanent objects which exist outside a call to produce an evaluator.

Constructor Detail

PartialDerivativesFixed

protected PartialDerivativesFixed(@Nonnull
                                  PartialDerivativesFixed existingInstance,
                                  @Nonnull
                                  CopyContext context)

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor in a derived class.

Parameters:

existingInstance - The existing instance to copy.

context - A CopyContext that controls the depth of the copy.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when existingInstance or context is null.

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone(CopyContext context)

Clones this object using the specified context.

This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.

A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:

public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }

    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }

    private Object someReference;
}

In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:

1. Fields that are aggregate parts of the object should always be copied. A referenced object is an aggregate if properties or methods on the object being copied can modify the externally-visible value of the referenced object.
2. If the semantics of the referenced object require that it have a single parent, owner, context, etc., and the object being copied is that parent, owner, or context, then the referenced object should always be copied.

If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered, then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually constructing a new instance and copying the values.

alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}

If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:

1. For references to other evaluators ONLY, simply assign the reference in the constructor instead of calling CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to non-evaluators.
2. Call IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
3. Implement IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.

public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}

@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}

@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);
}

private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;

Specified by:

clone in interface ICloneWithContext

Specified by:

clone in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

context - The context to use to perform the copy.

Returns:

A new instance which is a copy of this object.

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(PartialDerivativesFixed other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the PartialDerivativesFixed.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.infrastructure.DefinitionalObject) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class DefinitionalObject

Returns:

The computed hash code.

enumerateDependencies

public void enumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator enumerator)

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling DependencyEnumerator#enumerate(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.

Specified by:

enumerateDependencies in interface IEnumerateDependencies

Overrides:

enumerateDependencies in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

enumerator - The enumerator that is informed of the dependencies of this object.

createPartialDerivativesWithRespectToNothing

@Nonnull
public static PartialDerivativesFixed createPartialDerivativesWithRespectToNothing(@Nonnull
                                                                                             IPartialDifferentiable partial)

Creates a new instance that represents the partials of an entity with respect to nothing. This takes the form of a PartialDerivativesFixed where the Subject (get) is the given partial, the Dependencies (get) list is empty, and the PartialDerivatives (get) are a matrix with the RowDimension (get) of the given partial and a ColumnDimension (get) of zero.

Parameters:

partial - The partial to use to create the Identity partial derivatives with respect to itself.

Returns:

A PartialDerivativesFixed with the given partial as the DependentVariable and an empty list of IndependentVariables.

getSubject

@Nonnull
public final IPartialDifferentiable getSubject()

Gets the entity whose partials are represented by this fixed object.

getDimension

public final int getDimension()

Gets the dimension of the values produced by the object. For example, Vectors would have a dimension of three, and Scalars of one. A PartialDerivativesEvaluator created by this type will have a RowDimension (get) equal to this property, and a ColumnDimension (get) equal to the summation of the dimensions of the independent variables that this object is dependent on.

Specified by:

getDimension in interface IPartialDifferentiable

getDependencies

@Nonnull
public final List<IPartialDifferentiable> getDependencies()

Gets the read only list of the IPartialDifferentiable representing the objects the PartialDerivatives (get) are with respect to.

getPartialDerivatives

@Nonnull
public final Matrix getPartialDerivatives()

Gets the Matrix of the fixed partial derivatives of the Subject (get) with respect to the Dependencies (get).

getPartialDerivativesEvaluator

public final PartialDerivativesEvaluator getPartialDerivativesEvaluator(List<IPartialDifferentiable> independentVariables,
                                                                        EvaluatorGroup group)

Gets an evaluator that returns the fixed PartialDerivatives (get) with respect to any of the parameters in the provided generalized state.

Specified by:

getPartialDerivativesEvaluator in interface IPartialDifferentiable

Parameters:

independentVariables - The list of IPartialDifferentiable representing the independent variables that the created partial derivative evaluator calculates partials with respect to.

group - The evaluator group to contain the evaluator.

Returns:

The PartialDerivativesEvaluator.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - As a PartialDerivativesFixed should be created during the course of PartialDerivativesEvaluator creation for higher level objects, it is assumed to have its independent variables coordinated correctly. If Dependencies (get) contains an independent variable not included within independentVariables an exception will be thrown.

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when independentVariables or group is null.

PropertyInvalidException - Thrown if any of the Dependencies (get) is not an independent variable.
