one quick comment: you should also add an example for the function __insert_nextnew
This is just a list of short comments, nothing like a comprehensive review. Anybody else looking at this should feel free to test the code and report problems.
Did you run the tests in this file? I get

Please document and test __insert_nextnew()
as well. All new functions introduced in a patch should be tested.
You should rename covering_rad()
to covering_radius()
.
The documentation needs a spell check. Did you try building the documentation? I'm not sure if all of it is formatted properly.
The output of weight_distribution_coset()
and groebner_representation()
should be immutable, i.e., a tuple instead of a list. It might be better to reconsider the format of groebner_representation()
altogether. A list of lists is not very mathematical. There are quite a few possibilities in Sage to represent various mathematical structures.
Please run your code through a pep8 checker: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8
In Python, you don't need to write CC[len(CC) - 1]
to get the last element of a list. You can just say CC[-1]
.
It seems that all your examples/tests use the same code. Can you add different examples which stress the code properly, covering corner cases, etc.?
Burcin, which structure would you consider appropriate for representing the groebner representation? Maybe a dictionary?
Are you sure you uploaded the last version of your patch? The version __insert_nextnew does not have any doctest. And the function covering_rad should be merged with the existing covering_radius, providing an option to choose between the preexisting algorithm, and the one you implemented.
Here goes the real patch:
-Right tests (Doctests already run)
-_insert_nextnew()
documented and tested
-The functions covering_rad()
was merged with covering_radius()
, this function was already implemented but required optional GAP package guava.
Now you can indicate which method use. Algorithm = "guava"
does the same that
the old covering_radius()
using guava. And Algorithm = None
is my implemented
function.
-The output of weight_distribution_coset()
is now a tuple.
About making output of groebner_representation()
immutable: This function has been implemented
because in next step I'm going to use it for a decoding algorithm. And actually it's going to be more convenient
to change the output to a dictionary, though.
I'll document more examples. I'm testing coset_leaders()
to determinate how big can be the length and dimension of the code before
the algorithm gets slow.

is being used. The only place I am finding it really being used is in comparing of two lists (the compare_tuples_degrevlex

s. Later on, you also need the ETuple
s to be converted back to vectors in the grobner_representation
function. If there is a more direct way of doing the comparison you are doing (without all these conversions to ETuple
and back), then that should speed up the computations a bit.
Replying to @ppurka:
Some comments:
Thanks for your comments!!
- The indentation error is not only in the line
F = self.base_ring()
. All of the existing code in thecovering_radius
method needs to be indented.
Yes, it got moved after I runned the tests, I guess. I just fixed it.
- The
@rename_keyword
should not be introduced at all in thecovering_radius
code. This is a new keyword to the covering radius method and so you can simply introduce it without any deprecation warnings.
Ok I got it. Also fixed
- Is all of your code only for linear codes over
GF(2)
? Then you need to check the inputs to make sure that if other parents are input then it either degrades gracefully and automatically to an older algorithm (for instance incovering_radius
), or it gives an error.
So far it is only for linear codes over GF(2)
. I'll do the check in every function.
- Do you have plans to use values of
order
other thandegrevlex
?
degrevlex
in most of the cases reduce the number of operations to compute the grobner_basis
.
Even that I'd like to leave it as option to the user, but maybe I should do this only for the function groebner_basis()
(still at work)
In other cases like grobner_representation()
and coset_leaders()
I should use only degrevlex
.
In fact, I don't understand why
ETuple
is being used. The only place I am finding it really being used is in comparing of two lists (thecompare_tuples_degrevlex
function). I raise this point because quite a bit of time would be spent in simply converting vectors to lists and then the lists toETuple
s. Later on, you also need theETuple
s to be converted back to vectors in thegrobner_representation
function. If there is a more direct way of doing the comparison you are doing (without all these conversions toETuple
and back), then that should speed up the computations a bit.
You're right
Actually the set of coset leaders it doesn't depend on the order, so at least for this function I'm doing the implementation without using ETuple
. I also think that should speed up the computations.
grobner_representation()
is going to be used in one of the decoding algorithm, so maybe I can also only use degrevlex
, I'll discuss it with my mentors.
I will just add some comments about the last question: as Veronica already mentioned, for the decoding algorithm that Veronica is implementing (whose code will be public in the following days), the term ordering is important.
Note that for those cosets for which more than one coset leader exists the degree compatible ordering chosen will play an important role.
However, in general I will suggest to leave as default the "degrevlex" ordering for several reasons related to the preprocessing of the mentioned decoding algorithm.

New patch with the GDDA decoding algorithm
Here is the patch with the last details fixed. And I added the GDDA algorithm. This algorithm with Hamming Codes and Random linear codes seems to be faster. For example I have tested(among others):
sage: C = HammingCode(5,GF(2))
sage: v = random_vector(GF(2),C.length())
sage: v
(1,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1)

I've been suggeste to use timeit
instead of time
for benchmarking, so that's next. But with this results of time we can appreciate the differences among the differents decoding algorithms
The next patch is presented as result of a GSoC project 2013.
The work contains implementation of new decoding algorithms for linear codes proposed in "Combinatorial Commutative Algebra Approach to Complete Decoding", PhD Thesis, University of Valladolid, 2013 by Irene Marquez-Corbella.
Algorithms are called "groebner representation"
and "groebner basis"
and has been added to sage.coding.decoder.py
This algorithms has been hooked up with the decode
function in sage.coding.linear_code.py
, adding also a block of tests in which is explained the cases where this new algorithms performs better.
The patch contains functions added to sage.coding.linear_code.py
such as coset_leaders
, error_correcting_capacity
, newton_radius
, weight_distribution_coset
, and new algorithm to covering_radius
.

Hmm.. I didn't notice these two issues before:
The syndrome()
function is (strangely) duplicated in decoder.py
At some point during the GSOC, we made the output of groebner_basis_singular
a list, to make the output similar to the output of the other groebner_basis_fglm
function (which was probably named differently). Now, I feel that the generator itself should be returned, i.e., the return statement should be return I.groebner_basis('libsingular:stdfglm')
because the output of this function is used sequentially, and used only once. Consequently, all the doctests should be changed to list(groebner_basis_singular..)
.
Attachment: trac_14973-new_decoding_functions.patch.gz
I just changed the patch.

function duplicated has been deleted.groebner_basis_fglm
function output is now a generator iterable object.This needs to be turned into a git branch (and rebased)

Gitified, doctested and fixed some minor problems. sage/coding/decoder
didn't use to show up in the reference manual, I added it to the "Coding theory" section and fixed some docstring bugs.
There where conflicts while importing the mercurial patches. It'd be better if the original author could check the merge was done right.
New commits:
bbbdf5a | Add new decoding algorithms for linear codes. |

I am working on resolving the (seems trivial) conflict with 6.3beta1.

I added some commits to fix the merge conflicts and also clean up a bit.
Your changes looked ok to me except for just one change that was not present. You can look at the changes that you made and compare with the changes in the hg patch attached to this ticket, like so.
