LazySets.APIModule
API

This module contains an API (application programming interface) for set libraries. The module only defines and documents the general functions and does not provide implementations.

Set interface

LazySets.API.LazySetType

Abstract type for a set of points.

This type is not exported and is only used to define interface methods without type piracy.

The LazySets library defines its own set interface, which is also called LazySet.

ρ(d::AbstractVector, B::BallInf)

Algorithm

Let $B$ be a ball in the infinity norm with center $c$ and radius $r$ and let $d$ be the direction of interest. For balls with dimensions less than $30$, we use the implementation for AbstractHyperrectangle, tailored to a BallInf, which computes

\[ ∑_{i=1}^n d_i (c_i + \textrm{sgn}(d_i) · r)\]

where $\textrm{sgn}(α) = 1$ if $α ≥ 0$ and $\textrm{sgn}(α) = -1$ if $α < 0$.

For balls of higher dimension, we instead exploit that for a support vector $v = σ(d, B) = c + \textrm{sgn}(d) · (r, …, r)ᵀ$ we have

\[ ρ(d, B) = ⟨d, v⟩ = ⟨d, c⟩ + ⟨d, \textrm{sgn}(d) · (r, …, r)ᵀ⟩ = ⟨d, c⟩ + r · ∑_{i=1}^n |d_i|\]

  • R – rectification

Output

The support value of the rectification in the given direction.

Algorithm

We use different procedures for different types of input sets. If the wrapped set has a suitable structure for which we can efficiently compute the support vector, we fall back to the evaluation of the support function by means of the support vector. Otherwise we compute the union of projections to obtain a precise result (see to_union_of_projections), and then compute the support function for this union. (The union is cached internally, so subsequent queries are more efficient.)

σ(d::AbstractVector, P::VPolygon)

Output

If the direction has norm zero, the first vertex is returned.

Algorithm

This implementation uses a binary search algorithm when the polygon has more than 10 vertices and a brute-force search when it has 10 or fewer vertices. The brute-force search compares the projection of each vector along the given direction and runs in $O(n)$ where $n$ is the number of vertices. The binary search runs in $O(log n)$ and we follow this implementation based on an algorithm described in [1].

σ(d::AbstractVector, B::Ball2)

Notes

Let $c$ and $r$ be the center and radius of a ball $B$ in the 2-norm, respectively. For nonzero direction $d$ we have

\[σ(d, B) = c + r \frac{d}{‖d‖_2}.\]

This function requires computing the 2-norm of the input direction, which is performed in the given precision of the numeric datatype of both the direction and the set. Exact inputs are not supported.

Algorithm

The support vector of the unit ball in the $p$-norm along direction $d$ is:

\[σ(d, \mathcal{B}_p^n(0, 1)) = \dfrac{\tilde{v}}{‖\tilde{v}‖_q},\]

where $\tilde{v}_i = \frac{|d_i|^q}{d_i}$ if $d_i ≠ 0$ and $\tilde{v}_i = 0$ otherwise, for all $i=1,…,n$, and $q$ is the conjugate number of $p$. By the affine transformation $x = r\tilde{x} + c$, one obtains that the support vector of $\mathcal{B}_p^n(c, r)$ is

\[σ(d, \mathcal{B}_p^n(c, r)) = \dfrac{v}{‖v‖_q},\]

where $v_i = c_i + r\frac{|d_i|^q}{d_i}$ if $d_i ≠ 0$ and $v_i = 0$ otherwise, for all $i = 1, …, n$.

Output

Algorithm

The support vector of the union of two sets $X$ and $Y$ can be obtained as the vector that maximizes the support function of either $X$ or $Y$, i.e., it is sufficient to find the $\argmax(ρ(d, X), ρ(d, Y)])$ and evaluate its support vector.

The default implementation, with option algorithm="support_vector", computes the support vector of $X$ and $Y$ and then compares the support function using a dot product.

If the support function can be computed more efficiently, the alternative implementation algorithm="support_function" can be used, which evaluates the support function of each set directly and then calls only the support vector of either $X$ or $Y$.

Notes

If $E = \exp(M)⋅X$, where $M$ is a matrix and $X$ is a set, it follows that $σ(d, E) = \exp(M)⋅σ(\exp(M)^T d, X)$ for any direction $d$.

The default implementation, with option algorithm="support_vector", computes the support vector of all $X₁, X₂, ...$ and then compares the support function using the dot product.

If the support function can be computed more efficiently, the alternative implementation algorithm="support_function" can be used, which evaluates the support function of each set directly and then calls only the support vector of one of the $Xᵢ$.

Input

Output

Notes

Note that this implementation creates new Rectification objects that do not get preserved. Hence a second support-vector query does not benefit from the computations in the first query. For this use case another implementation should be added.

Algorithm

Rectification distributes with the Cartesian product. Let $R(·)$ be the rectification of a set. We can just query a support vector for $R(X)$ and $R(Y)$ recursively: $σ_{R(X × Y)}(d) = σ_{R(X)}(d_X) × σ_{R(Y)}(d_Y)$, where $x × y$ concatenates vectors $x$ and $y$.
