Instructions

This code allows one to work with local views and slack in the minimisation program discussed in the paper at https://doi.org/10.37236/7743.

Prerequisites

• Sage (http://www.sagemath.org/), tested with v8.0.
• Jupyter, included in Sage.
• Additional Python packages: cytoolz, joblib, and tqdm. These are best installed from the command line with sage -pip install cytoolz joblib tqdm.

Use

The code for computing the necessary representative local views and slack is in the files local_views.pyx and properties.pyx. The Jupyter notebook d4.ipynb allows the user to step through the computations that produce the desired results.

Open Sage with the Jupyter notebook (e.g. sage -n jupyter on the command line) and open d4.ipynb in the Jupyter interface. Then step through the cells, executing the commands in order.

Description of included ancillary files

• local_views.pyx, Cython code for computing sets of representative local views
• properties.pyx, Cython code for computing properties of local views
• README.md, this readme file with instructions for using the code
