Scientific Computing in Rust # Features * Initial value problem solving * Root finding algorithms * Polynomials * Polynomial Interpolation * Scientific Constants * Special functions/polynomials * Numeric quadrature * Numeric differentiation Explanations of the features can be found [here](https://aftix.xyz/home/bacon). # Initial Value Problems There are two adaptive Runge-Kutta methods, two Adams predictor-correctors, and two adaptive Backwards Differentiation Formulas implemented. The interface to all of the solvers is the same. As an example, this code solves `y' = y` using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. ```rust use bacon_sci::ivp::{RK45, RungeKuttaSolver}; use nalgebra::{VectorN, U1}; fn deriv(_t: f64, y: &[f64], _params: &mut ()) -> Result, String> { Ok(VectorN::::from_column_slice(y)) } fn solve() -> Result<(), String> { let solver = RK45::new() .with_dt_min(0.01)? .with_dt_max(0.1)? .with_tolerance(1e-4)? .with_initial_conditions(&[1.0])? .with_start(0.0)? .with_end(10.0)? .build(); let _solution = solver.solve_ivp(deriv, &mut ())?; Ok(()) } ``` There is also a `solve_ivp` function in `bacon_sci::ivp` that tries a fifth-order predictor-corrector followed by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method followed by BDF6. # Root Finding Algorithms `bacon_sci::roots` implements the bisection method, Newton's method, the secant method, Newton's method for polynomials, and Müller's method for polynomials. As an example, the following code snippet finds the root of `x^3` using initial guesses of `0.1` and `-0.1`. ```rust use bacon_sci::roots::secant; use nalgebra::{VectorN, U1}; fn cubic(x: &[f64]) -> VectorN { VectorN::::from_iterator(x.iter.map(|x| x.powi(3))) } fn solve() -> f64 { secant((&[-0.1], &[0.1]), cubic, 0.001, 1000).unwrap() } ``` # Polynomials and Polynomial Interpolation `bacon_sci::polynomial` implements a polynomial struct. `bacon_sci::interp` implements Lagrange interpolation, Hermite interpolation, and cubic spline interpolation. # Scientific Constants Several scientific constants are defined in `bacon_sci::constants`. The data comes from NIST. The 2018 CODATA complete listing is available as a hashmap. # Special Functions and Polynomials Currently, `bacon_sci::special` allows you to get Legendre polynomials, Hermite polynomials, Laguerre polynomials, and Chebyshev polynomials. # Numeric Differentiation and Quadrature `bacon_sci::differentiate` allows first- and second-derivative evaluation numerically. `bacon_sci::integrate` implements Tanh-Sinh quadrature, adaptive Simpson's rule, Romberg integration, and several adaptive Gaussian integration schemes.
