SymPy is the package that you're looking for. Here is a function that dynamically sets up your equations as described in your system:
import sympy as sp
def not_choleskys_decomposition(N):
# Initialisation of list of variables.
c = []
K = []
for n in range(N + 1):
c.append(sp.Symbol("c_{}".format(n), real=True))
K.append(sp.Symbol("K_{}".format(n), real=True))
# Setup your N+1 equations.
equations = []
for n in range(N + 1):
num_c = N + 1 - n
c_terms = [c_i * c_j for c_i, c_j in zip(c[:num_c], c[n:][:num_c])]
lhs = sp.Add(*c_terms)
equations.append(sp.Eq(lhs, K[n]))
return equations, c, K
Printing for verification can be done using the sympy.latex
function which converts the math directly to LaTeX or the sympy.pprint
function.
>>> test, _, _ = not_choleskys_decomposition(4)
>>> for t in test:
... sp.pprint(t)
c₀⋅c₀ + c₁⋅c₁ + c₂⋅c₂ + c₃⋅c₃ + c₄⋅c₄ = K₀
c₀⋅c₁ + c₁⋅c₂ + c₂⋅c₃ + c₃⋅c₄ = K₁
c₀⋅c₂ + c₁⋅c₃ + c₂⋅c₄ = K₂
c₀⋅c₃ + c₁⋅c₄ = K₃
c₀⋅c₄ = K₄
Replacing your variables can be done with the .subs
method which belongs to each sympy.Eq
object:
>>> equations, c_sym, K_sym = not_choleskys_decomposition(4)
>>> dict_replace = {c_sym[0]: 1.0}
>>> new_equation = equations[0].subs(dict_replace)
>>> sympy.pprint(new_equation)
c₁⋅c₂ + 1.0⋅c₁ + c₂⋅c₃ + c₃⋅c₄ = K₁
Here's an example function that replaces your list of c
or K
.
def substitute_sym(equations, sym_list, val_list):
# Confirm all dimensions are consistent.
try:
assert len(equations) == len(sym_list) == len(val_list)
except AssertionError:
raise IndexError("Inconsistent dimensions.")
# Replace c symbols with values in equations.
substituted_equations = []
for eq in equations:
_eq = eq.subs(dict(zip(sym_list, val_list)))
substituted_equations.append(_eq)
return substituted_equations
Testing it on c
:
>>> equations, c_sym, K_sym = not_choleskys_decomposition(4)
>>> test_2 = substitute_sym(test_1, c_sym, [1] * 5)
>>> for t in test_2:
... sp.pprint(t)
5 = K₀
4 = K₁
3 = K₂
2 = K₃
1 = K₄
Testing it on K
:
>>> equations, c_sym, K_sym = not_choleskys_decomposition(4)
>>> K_vals = [1, 1.4, 0.2, 0.5, 3.0]
>>> test_3 = substitute_sym(test_1, K_sym, K_vals)
>>> for t in test_3:
... sp.pprint(t)
c₀⋅c₀ + c₁⋅c₁ + c₂⋅c₂ + c₃⋅c₃ + c₄⋅c₄ = 1
c₀⋅c₁ + c₁⋅c₂ + c₂⋅c₃ + c₃⋅c₄ = 1.4
c₀⋅c₂ + c₁⋅c₃ + c₂⋅c₄ = 0.2
c₀⋅c₃ + c₁⋅c₄ = 0.5
c₀⋅c₄ = 3.0
Solving your set of equation can be done with sympy.solvers.solveset.nonlinsolve(system, *symbols)
documented here.
Solving for c
given K
>>> from sympy.solvers.solveset import nonlinsolve
>>> test_solve, c_sym, K_sym = not_choleskys_decomposition(1)
>>> test_replaced = substitute_sym(test_solve, K_sym, [sp.Rational(0.5)] * 2)
>>> solved = nonlinsolve(test_replaced, c_sym)
>>> sp.pprint(solved)

I hope this helps get you jump started with SymPy
if you choose to use it. I have rarely used its nonlinear solver so I cannot guarantee anything past the examples. Arguments are also relevant and solvers are temperamental. You'll notice I replaced K
with sp.Rational(0.5)
for each index. It was done to avoid an error that is thrown otherwise when defining float
type for some solvers. Good luck.
EDIT:
Also note that you don't need to use the solvers in SymPy. I rarely do. I use the package for the symbolic mathematics in Python for LaTeX and equation manipulation.
EDIT:
Making it work with scipy.optimize.fsolve
from sympy.utilities.lambdify import lambdify
from scipy.optimize import fsolve
def lambdify_equations_for_solving_c(equations, c_sym, K_sym, K_val):
f = []
equations_subbed = substitute_sym(equations, K_sym, K_val)
for eq in equations_subbed:
# Note that I reformulate equation into an expression here
# for determining the roots.
f.append(lambdify(c_sym, eq.args[0] - eq.args[1]))
return f
N = 4
equations, c_sym, K_sym = not_choleskys_decomposition(N)
K_vals = [0.1, 0, 0.1, 0, 0]
f = lambdify_equations_for_solving_c(equations, c_sym, K_sym, K_vals)
def fsolve_friendly(p):
return [_f(*p) for _f in f]
c_sol = fsolve(fsolve_friendly, x0=(0, 0.1, -1.1, 0, 0))
fsolve
returns warnings for non-converged results.

warnings.warn(msg, RuntimeWarning)
That's a complete answer on how to form your equations to be solved as python callables. The solver routine is another challenge itself.
