Hessians

Hessians#

Hessian diagonalisation and projection routines. See autode/common/hessians.pdf for mathematical background

class autode.hessians.Hessian(input_array: ~numpy.ndarray, units: ~autode.units.Unit | str = Unit(Ha Å^-2), atoms: Atoms | None = None, functional: ~autode.wrappers.keywords.keywords.Functional | None = None)#
copy(order='C')#

Return a copy of the array.

Parameters:

order ({'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional) – Controls the memory layout of the copy. ‘C’ means C-order, ‘F’ means F-order, ‘A’ means ‘F’ if a is Fortran contiguous, ‘C’ otherwise. ‘K’ means match the layout of a as closely as possible. (Note that this function and numpy.copy() are very similar but have different default values for their order= arguments, and this function always passes sub-classes through.)

numpy.copyto

Notes

This function is the preferred method for creating an array copy. The function numpy.copy() is similar, but it defaults to using order ‘K’, and will not pass sub-classes through by default.

Examples

>>> x = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], order='F')

>>> y = x.copy()

>>> x.fill(0)

>>> x
array([[0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0]])

>>> y
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

>>> y.flags['C_CONTIGUOUS']
True

class autode.hessians.HybridHessianCalculator(species: Species, idxs: Sequence[int], shift: Distance, lmethod: Method | None = None, hmethod: Method | None = None, n_cores: int | None = None)#

Calculator for a numerical Hessian evaluated at two levels of theory. One fast low level method to generate an estimate of the full Hessian, then one slow method used to evaluate numerical derivatives for only a few atoms. For example,

>>> import autode as ade
>>>
>>> water = ade.Molecule(smiles='O')
>>> dx = ade.values.Distance(0.001, units='Å')
>>> calculator = ade.hessians.HybridHessianCalculator(water,
                                                      idxs=(0,),
                                                      shift=dx)
>>> calculator.calculate()
__init__(species: Species, idxs: Sequence[int], shift: Distance, lmethod: Method | None = None, hmethod: Method | None = None, n_cores: int | None = None)#

Initialise a two-level numerical Hessian calculation using a low-level method (lmethod) and a high-level method (hmethod) for only some atoms, with indexes (idxs)

using the high-level method

Parameters:

  • shift – Numerical shift in used in the finite differences

  • lmethod – Low-level method

  • hmethod – High-level method

  • n_cores – Number of cores to use, defaults to Config.n_cores
