calc_prop_mean: Calculate the mean of a particle property in each node.
plot_prop_timecourse: Plot the timecourse of the mean and standard deviation of a particle property across the lattice.

abstractmethod gradient(qty)¶

Compute the gradient of qty along all axes.

Parameters:: qty (numpy.ndarray) – Quantity to take the gradient of. Needs to have the same number of dimensions as self.nodes. If qty.shape == self.nodes.shape[:-1] the result can be indexed with the LGCA coordinates (see example).
Returns:: Computed gradient. Dimensions: qty.shape + (len(self.c),). If self and qty are 2D arrays, gradient(qty)[...,0] is the gradient in x direction and gradient(qty)[...,1] the gradient in y direction.

Notes

The gradient is calculated using numpy.gradient() with stepwidth h=0.5 (s.t. no normalization takes place). It is computed as the central finite difference with equidistant support points and supports one-sided differences at the boundaries.

In most cases this yields the simple difference between the two closest array elements in the given direction. For example, the gradient at position 1 of np.array([1, 2, 4]) would be (4 - 1)/(2 * 0.5) = 3.

Examples

If the input quantity has the same x (and y) dimensions as the LGCA’s nodes, the gradient at each node position can be accessed the same way as the node itself.

>>> from lgca import get_lgca
>>> import numpy as np
>>> # define a square LGCA to illustrate dimensions
>>> lgca = get_lgca(geometry='square', dims=(2,3))
>>> lgca.nodes.shape  # (xdim, ydim, number of channels)
(4, 5, 4)
>>> my_qty = np.array([[0,0,0,0,0],
>>>                    [1,1,1,1,1],
>>>                    [2,2,2,3,2],
>>>                    [3,3,3,3,3]])
>>> my_qty.shape  # (xdim, ydim)
(4, 5)
>>> grad = lgca.gradient(my_qty)
>>> grad.shape  # (xdim, ydim, number of dimensions)
(4, 5, 2)
>>> # address like internal LGCA fields: first dimension is x (printed vertically),
>>> # second dimension is y (printed horizontally), this can be a bit confusing
>>> for coord in lgca.coord_pairs:
>>>     if np.any(grad[coord]>2):
>>>         print("Gradient at index", coord, "is ", grad[coord])
>>>         print("Configuration at index ", coord, " is ", lgca.nodes[coord],
>>>               ", with cell density ", lgca.cell_density[coord])
Gradient at index (1, 3) is  [3. 0.]
Configuration at index  (1, 3)  is  [False False False  True] , with cell density  1

The first element of the gradient holds the gradient in x direction, the second element the gradient in y direction. Note that (1, 3) is the index corresponding to a logical non-border coordinate (0, 2) if the interaction radius is 1. This is relevant for defining a custom field qty: Only the field values at non-border indices will be “felt” by the particles in the LGCA if the interaction is defined accordingly, but border nodes can be used to specify the field’s boundary conditions.

The gradient in x direction is 3 = (3 - 0)/1. In y direction it is 0 = (1 - 1)/1.

abstractmethod init_coords()¶

Initialize LGCA coordinates. These are used to index the lattice nodes. In the implementation, set self.nonborder, self.xcoords, self.ycoords, and self.coord_pairs to meaningful and consistent values.

Must match what is done in set_dims() and init_nodes(). For the attribute types see lgca.base.LGCA_base.

init_families(type='homogeneous', mutation=True)¶

Initialize structures to track inheritance between cells and/or cell families.

Initializes the 'family' property in self.props and, if needed, the counter self.maxfamily and the dictionary self.family_props. The 'ancestor' and 'descendants' properties in the latter can be used to reconstruct a family tree.

Parameters:

mutation (bool, default=True) – If true, mutation can occur so that offspring can have different properties and found its own family. The additional dictionary self.family_props and the counter self.maxfamily keep track of this. If false, the number of families is not supposed to increase during the simulation so that self.family_props and self.maxfamily are not needed.
type ({'homogeneous', 'heterogeneous'}, default='homogeneous') – Family composition for the initial population. If homogeneous, all initial cells belong to the same family and have the same properties. If heterogeneous, each initial cell founds its own family and can have individual properties that it passes on to its offspring.
