Quick Start๏ƒ

Installation๏ƒ

# Basic installation
pip install hpfracc

# With GPU support
pip install hpfracc[gpu]

# With machine learning extras
pip install hpfracc[ml]

# Development version
pip install hpfracc[dev]

Basic Usage๏ƒ

import hpfracc as hpc
import torch
from hpfracc.ml import SpectralFractionalDerivative, BoundedAlphaParameter

# Create time array and function with autograd support
t = torch.linspace(0, 10, 1000, requires_grad=True)
x = torch.sin(t)

# Compute fractional derivative with spectral autograd
alpha = 0.5  # fractional order
result = SpectralFractionalDerivative.apply(x, alpha, -1, "fft")
print(f"Spectral fractional derivative computed, shape: {result.shape}")
print(f"Autograd support: {result.requires_grad}")

# Use learnable fractional order
alpha_param = BoundedAlphaParameter(alpha_init=0.5)
alpha_val = alpha_param()
result_learnable = SpectralFractionalDerivative.apply(x, alpha_val, -1, "fft")
print(f"Learnable alpha: {alpha_val.item():.4f}")
