SimPEG.maps.ComboMap#

class SimPEG.maps.ComboMap(maps, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: IdentityMap

Combination mapping constructed by joining a set of other mappings.

A ComboMap is a single mapping object made by joining a set of basic mapping operations by chaining them together, in order. When creating a ComboMap, the user provides a list of SimPEG mapping objects they wish to join. The order of the mappings in this list is from last to first; i.e. \([\mathbf{f}_n , ... , \mathbf{f}_2 , \mathbf{f}_1]\).

The combination mapping \(\mathbf{u}(\mathbf{m})\) that acts on a set of input model parameters \(\mathbf{m}\) is defined as:

\[\mathbf{u}(\mathbf{m}) = f_n(f_{n-1}(\cdots f_1(f_0(\mathbf{m}))))\]

Note that any time that you create your own combination mapping, be sure to test that the derivative is correct.

Parameters:

mapslist of SimPEG.maps.IdentityMap: A list of SimPEG mapping objects. The ordering of the mapping objects in the list is from last applied to first applied!

Examples

Here we create a combination mapping that 1) projects a single scalar to a vector space of length 5, then takes the natural exponent.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from SimPEG.maps import ExpMap, Projection, ComboMap

>>> nP1 = 1
>>> nP2 = 5
>>> ind = np.zeros(nP1, dtype=int)

>>> projection_map = Projection(nP1, ind)
>>> projection_map.shape
(5, 1)

>>> exp_map = ExpMap(nP=5)
>>> exp_map.shape
(5, 5)

Recall that the order of the mapping objects is from last applied to first applied.

>>> map_list = [exp_map, projection_map]
>>> combo_map = ComboMap(map_list)
>>> combo_map.shape
(5, 1)

>>> m = np.array([2.])
>>> combo_map * m
array([7.3890561, 7.3890561, 7.3890561, 7.3890561, 7.3890561])

Attributes

`shape`	Dimensions of the mapping.

Methods

`deriv`(m[, v])	Derivative of the mapping with respect to the input parameters.
