Attributes Documentation

name

The name of the Vector. Used in printing.

np

View with single irrep.

nph

View with irreps.

shape

Shape of the Psi4 data object.

Methods Documentation

array_interface(self: psi4.core.Vector) → list

axpy(self: psi4.core.Vector, a: float, other: psi4.core.Vector) → None

Adds to this vector another vector scaled by a

clone(self: psi4.core.Vector) → psi4.core.Vector

Clone the vector

copy(self: psi4.core.Vector, arg0: psi4.core.Vector) → None

Returns a copy of the matrix

dim(self: psi4.core.Vector, h: int = 0) → int

Returns the dimensions of the vector per irrep h

dimpi(self: psi4.core.Vector) → psi4.core.Dimension

Returns the Dimension object

classmethod from_array(name='New Matrix', dim1=None, dim2=None)

Converts a numpy array or list of numpy arrays into a Psi4 Matrix (irreped if list).

Parameters

• arr (Union[ndarray, List[ndarray]]) – Numpy array or list of arrays to use as the data for a new core.Matrix

• name (str) – Name to give the new core.Matrix

• dim1 (Union[List, Tuple, Dimension, None]) – If a single dense numpy array is given, a dimension can be supplied to apply irreps to this array. Note that this discards all extra information given in the matrix besides the diagonal blocks determined by the passed dimension.

• dim2 (Optional[Dimension]) – Same as dim1 only if using a psi4.core.Dimension object.

Returns

Returns the given Psi4 object

Return type

Matrix or Vector

Notes

This is a generalized function to convert a NumPy array to a Psi4 object

Examples

>>> data = np.random.rand(20,1)
>>> vector = psi4.core.Matrix.from_array(data)

>>> irrep_data = [np.random.rand(2, 2), np.empty(shape=(0,3)), np.random.rand(4, 4)]
>>> matrix = psi4.core.Matrix.from_array(irrep_data)
>>> print(matrix.rowdim().to_tuple())
(2, 0, 4)

classmethod from_list(x)

classmethod from_serial(json_data)

Converts serialized data to the correct Psi4 data type

get(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. get(self: psi4.core.Vector, m: int) -> float

Returns a single element value located at m

2. get(self: psi4.core.Vector, h: int, m: int) -> float

Returns a single element value located at m in irrep h

get_block(self: psi4.core.Vector, slice: psi4.core.Slice) → psi4.core.Vector

Get a vector block

load(self: psi4.core.Vector, psio: psi4.core.IO, file: int) → None

Load the vector from disk

nirrep(self: psi4.core.Vector) → int

Returns the number of irreps

classmethod np_read(filename, prefix='')

Reads the data from a NumPy compress file.

np_write(filename=None, prefix='')

Writes the irreped matrix to a NumPy zipped file.

Can return the packed data for saving many matrices into the same file.

print_out(self: psi4.core.Vector) → None

Prints the vector to the output file

save(self: psi4.core.Vector, psio: psi4.core.IO, file: int) → None

Save the vector to disk

scale(self: psi4.core.Vector, sc: float) → None

Scales the elements of a vector by sc

set(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. set(self: psi4.core.Vector, m: int, val: float) -> None

Sets a single element value located at m

2. set(self: psi4.core.Vector, h: int, m: int, val: float) -> None

Sets a single element value located at m in irrep h

set_block(self: psi4.core.Vector, slice: psi4.core.Slice, block: psi4.core.Vector) → None

Set a vector block

to_array(copy=True, dense=False)

Converts a Psi4 Matrix or Vector to a NumPy array. Either copies the data or simply constructs a view.

Parameters

• matrix (Union[Matrix, Vector]) – Pointers to which Psi4 core class should be used in the construction.

• copy (bool) – Copy the data if True, return a view otherwise

• dense (bool) – Converts irreped Psi4 objects to diagonally blocked dense arrays if True. Returns a list of arrays otherwise.

Returns

Returns either a list of np.array’s or the base array depending on options.

Return type

numpy.ndarray

Notes

This is a generalized function to convert a Psi4 object to a NumPy array

Examples

>>> data = psi4.core.Matrix(3, 3)
>>> data.to_array()
[[ 0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.]]

to_serial()

Converts an object with a .nph accessor to a serialized dictionary

vector_dot(self: psi4.core.Vector, other: psi4.core.Vector) → float

Take the dot product of two vectors

zero(self: psi4.core.Vector) → None

Zeros the vector
