PhaseSpace
The PhaseSpace class provides a flexible representation of phase spaces (subsets of \(\mathbb{R}^n\)) with both symbolic and callable constraint representations.
Example Usage
See the Phase Spaces & Time Horizons example notebook for practical usage examples.
Factory Methods
full(dimension)
Creates a phase space representing R^n (full Euclidean space).
box(bounds)
Creates a box-constrained phase space \([a_1, b_1] \times \cdots \times [a_n, b_n]\).
closed_hypersphere(center, radius)
Creates a closed hypersphere \(\{{\bf x} \in \mathbb{R}^n \; : \; \lVert {\bf x} - {\bf c} \rVert \leq r\}\).
open_hypersphere(center, radius)
Creates an open hypersphere \(\{{\bf x} \in \mathbb{R}^n \; : \; \lVert {\bf x} - {\bf c} \rVert < r\}\).
Exposed Methods
contains_point(x)
Verifies whether the point \(x \in \mathbb{R}^n\) is in the phase space.
contains_points(A)
Verifies whether each point \(x \in A \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is in the phase space.
Properties
volume
Returns either an analytic volume (via the Lebesgue measure) of the phase space, if available, or a numerically estimated volume by considering the volume of a convex hull. Utilises caching to avoid consistent recomputation.
NOTE: Currently not implemented - deferred to future versions.
Dunder Methods
We've implemented, thus far,
__str____repr__- The dunders below are experimental. They invoke
sympysubset logic, which is frail at best, and automatically fall back to false ifsympycannot determine the relevant relationships. As such, a false result should not be seen as a certainty, whereas a true result can be. __eq____ne____le____lt____ge____gt__

PyDynSys.core.euclidean.phase_space.PhaseSpace
dataclass
Phase space X subset of R^n with flexible symbolic/callable representation.
Supports three usage patterns
- Symbolic only: Provides symbolic set, constraint auto-compiled (general)
- Callable only: Provides constraint directly (fast, no symbolic ops)
- Both (recommended): Provides both for optimal performance (fast + symbolic ops)
Symbolic representation enables
- Rigorous mathematical operations (intersections, closures, etc.)
- Pretty printing for dynamical system descriptors
Callable representation provides O(1) membership testing for numerical work.
Fields
- dimension (int): Phase space dimension n
- symbolic_set (syp.Set | None): Optional SymPy set representation
- constraint (Callable | None): Optional callable for fast membership testing
Note: At least one of symbolic_set or constraint must be provided, or a ValueError will be raised.
