difft – a symbolic differentiator, current version 0.1.12
Sources: current
The difft utility computes the derivative of a function, optionally printing each differentiation and reduction rule as it does so. It formats its output as LaTeX, a Gnuplot equation, a C file (ANSI C89), or MathML.
difft is a quick, batch-mode derivative calculator without the overhead or complexity of tools
like Sage. It is an ISC-licensed open source
UNIX
utility written in ISO C99, with no compile- or run-time dependencies.
This gallery showcases the results of pipelining difft, LaTeX and dvipng, and Gnuplot.
A sample multivariate trigonometric function is
echo "(sin(x)*cos(y))" | difft -n -dx,y | latex
Taking the partial derivative with respect to x and y (for all steps of differentiation: PNG, XHTML) produces
echo "(sin(x)*cos(y))" | difft -xx,y | latex
echo "(sin(x)*cos(y))" | difft -xx,y -Tgnuplot | gnuplot
The cdf of the Gumbel distribution is
echo "(e^-(e^-x))" | difft -n -fF | latex
.
Its pdf (for all steps of differentiation: PNG, XHTML) is thus
echo "(e^-(e^-x))" | difft -xx,y | latex
echo "(e^-(e^-x))" | difft -xx,y -Tgnuplot | gnuplot
| difft(1) | symbolic differentiator |
This utility was developed and is maintained at the Stockholm School of Economics, Department of Economics. Contact Kristaps Dzonsons with bug-reports, questions, comments, patches, and so on.
28-01-2012: version 0.1.12
Lifted signed-integer constraints on number of allocations. Added -Tc output format. Cleaned up documentation.
