Julia Wrappers for SymEngine, a fast symbolic manipulation library, written in C++.
You can install SymEngine.jl by giving the following command.
julia> Pkg.add("SymEngine")
One can define variables in a few ways. The following three examples are equivalent.
Defining two symbolic variables with the names a and b, and assigning them to julia variables with the same name.
julia> a=symbols(:a); b=symbols(:b) b julia> a,b = symbols("a b") (a, b) julia> @vars a b (a, b)
We are going to define an expression using the variables from earlier:
julia> ex1 = a + 2(b+2)^2 + 2a + 3(a+1) 3*a + 3*(1 + a) + 2*(2 + b)^2
One can see that values are grouped, but no expansion is done.
A vector of variables can be defined using list comprehension and string interpolation.
julia> [symbols("α_$i") for i in 1:3] 3-element Vector{Basic}: α_1 α_2 α_3
Some times one might want to define a matrix of variables. One can use a matrix comprehension, and string interpolation to create a matrix of variables.
julia> W = [symbols("W_$i$j") for i in 1:3, j in 1:4] 3×4 Matrix{Basic}: W_11 W_12 W_13 W_14 W_21 W_22 W_23 W_24 W_31 W_32 W_33 W_34
Now using the matrix we can perform matrix operations:
julia> W*[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0] 3-element Vector{Basic}: 1.0*W_11 + 2.0*W_12 + 3.0*W_13 + 4.0*W_14 1.0*W_21 + 2.0*W_22 + 3.0*W_23 + 4.0*W_24 1.0*W_31 + 2.0*W_32 + 3.0*W_33 + 4.0*W_34
julia> expand(a + 2(b+2)^2 + 2a + 3(a+1)) 11 + 6*a + 8*b + 2*b^2
Performs substitution.
julia> subs(a^2+(b-2)^2, b=>a) a^2 + (-2 + a)^2 julia> subs(a^2+(b-2)^2, b=>2) a^2 julia> subs(a^2+(b-2)^2, a=>2) 4 + (-2 + b)^2 julia> subs(a^2+(b-2)^2, a^2=>2) 2 + (-2 + b)^2 julia> subs(a^2+(b-2)^2, a=>2, b=>3) 5
Peforms differentiation
julia> diff(a + 2(b+2)^2 + 2a + 3(a+1), b) 4*(2 + b)
