Tensorial
Statically sized tensors and related operations for Julia
Tensorial provides useful tensor operations (e.g., contraction; tensor product, ⊗; inv; etc.) written in the Julia programming language.
The library supports arbitrary size of non-symmetric and symmetric tensors, where symmetries should be specified to avoid wasteful duplicate computations.
The way to give a size of the tensor is similar to StaticArrays.jl, and symmetries of tensors can be specified by using @Symmetry.
For example, symmetric fourth-order tensor (symmetrizing tensor) is represented in this library as Tensor{Tuple{@Symmetry{3,3}, @Symmetry{3,3}}}.
Einstein summation macro and automatic differentiation functions are also provided.
Speed
a = rand(Vec{3}) # vector of length 3
A = rand(SecondOrderTensor{3}) # 3x3 second order tensor
S = rand(SymmetricSecondOrderTensor{3}) # 3x3 symmetric second order tensor
B = rand(Tensor{Tuple{3,3,3}}) # 3x3x3 third order tensor
AA = rand(FourthOrderTensor{3}) # 3x3x3x3 fourth order tensor
SS = rand(SymmetricFourthOrderTensor{3}) # 3x3x3x3 symmetric fourth order tensor (symmetrizing tensor)See here for above aliases.
