Debian Science Mathematics packages

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Mathematics. You might also be interested in the field::mathematics debtag and, depending on your focus, in the education-mathematics metapackage.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Science Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Science which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Science to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Science mailing list

Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language: It has inductive families, which are like Haskell's GADTs, but they can be indexed by values and not just types. It also has parameterised modules, mixfix operators, Unicode characters, and an interactive Emacs interface (the type checker can assist in the development of your code).

Agda is also a proof assistant: It is an interactive system for writing and checking proofs. Agda is based on intuitionistic type theory, a foundational system for constructive mathematics developed by the Swedish logician Per Martin-Löf. It has many similarities with other proof assistants based on dependent types, such as Coq, Epigram and NuPRL.

This is a meta package which provides Agda's emacs mode, executable, standard library and its documentation.

FreeFem++ is an implementation of a language dedicated to the finite element method. It enables you to solve Partial Differential Equations (PDE) easily.

Problems involving PDE from several branches of physics such as fluid-structure interactions require interpolations of data on several meshes and their manipulation within one program. FreeFem++ includes a fast quadtree-based interpolation algorithm and a language for the manipulation of these data on multiple meshes. It contains also a powerful mesh generation and adaption tool integrated seamlessly in FreeFem++ called bamg.

FreeFem++ is written in C++ and the FreeFem++ language is a C++ idiom allowing for a smooth learning curve.

This package contains the executables of FreeFem++.

FreeFEM3D (aka ff3d) is a 3D solver of partial differential equations (PDE). It is a member of the familly of the freefem programs (see http://www.freefem.org).

ff3d, as well as its cousins, is a PDE solver driven by a user-friendly language. It solves many kind of problems such as elasticity, fluids (Stokes and Navier-Stokes) and a lot more. The user has to enter the equation associated with the problem, giving either the PDE in strong formulation or weak (variational) formulation.

ff3d can use either the Finite Elements method (the mesh of the geometry being provided by the user) or a Fictitious Domain like approach where the geometry is described using Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). This description is done using the POV-Ray language but others such as VRML could be added.

The processing of the results is left to the user. One can use various graphic tools: output in the MEdit mesh format or VTK are supported. The implementation of a VTK base visualization module is underway.

The goal of ff3d is to provide a good teaching tool and a research toolbox (the code is written in C++ and its design is such that new methods can be easily implemented).

Geomview is interactive geometry software which is particularly appropriate for mathematics research and education. In particular, geomview can display things in hyperbolic and spherical space as well as Euclidean space.

Geomview allows multiple independently controllable objects and cameras. It provides interactive control for motion, appearances (including lighting, shading, and materials), picking on an object, edge or vertex level, snapshots in SGI image file or Renderman RIB format, and adding or deleting objects is provided through direct mouse manipulation, control panels, and keyboard shortcuts. External programs can drive desired aspects of the viewer (such as continually loading changing geometry or controlling the motion of certain objects) while allowing interactive control of everything else.

Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element mesh generator (primarily Delaunay) with build-in CAD and post-processing facilities. Its design goal is to provide a simple meshing tool for academic test cases with parametric input and up to date visualization capabilities.

Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.

See Gmsh's reference manual for a more thorough overview of Gmsh's capabilities.

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. The library, mostly written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, FFTs, and string processing. Julia programs are organized around defining functions, and overloading them for different combinations of argument types (which can also be user-defined).

This package provides a complete Julia installation (JIT compiler, standard library, text-based user interface).

Its main features are implementations of the basic arithmetic of many mathematical entities: Primes fields, Extensions Fields, Finite Fields, Finite Rings, Polynomials, Algebraic numbers, and Arbitrary precision integers and rationals (C++ wrappers over gmp).

Givaro also provides data-structures and templated classes for the manipulation of basic algebraic objects, such as vectors, matrices (dense, sparse, structured), univariate polynomials (and therefore recursive multivariate).

It contains different program modules and is fully compatible with the LinBox linear algebra library and the Athapascan environment, which permits parallel programming.

This package contains runtime files for Givaro.

GNU libmatheval is a library comprising of several procedures that make it possible to create an in-memory tree representation of mathematical functions over single or multiple variables and later use this representation to evaluate functions for specified variable values, to create corresponding trees for function derivatives over specified variables or to print textual representations of in-memory trees to a specified string. The library supports arbitrary variable names in expressions, decimal constants, basic unary and binary operators and elementary mathematical functions.

This package contains the runtime shared library.

The linear programming (LP) problem can be formulated as: Solve A.x >= V1, with V2.x maximal. A is a matrix, x is a vector of (nonnegative) variables, V1 is a vector called the right hand side, and V2 is a vector specifying the objective function.

An integer linear programming (ILP) problem is an LP with the constraint that all the variables are integers. In a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem, some of the variables are integer and others are real.

The program lp_solve solves LP, ILP, and MILP problems. It is slightly more general than suggested above, in that every row of A (specifying one constraint) can have its own (in)equality, <=, >= or =. The result specifies values for all variables.

lp_solve uses the 'Simplex' algorithm and sparse matrix methods for pure LP problems. If one or more of the variables is declared integer, the Simplex algorithm is iterated with a branch and bound algorithm, until the desired optimal solution is found. lp_solve can read MPS format input files.

A convex polyhedron is the set of points satisfying a finite family of linear inequalities. The study of the vertices and extreme rays of such systems is important and useful in e.g. mathematics and optimization. In a dual interpretation, finding the vertices of a (bounded) polyhedron is equivalent to finding the convex hull (bounding inequalities) of an (arbitrary dimensional) set of points. Lrs (lexicographic reverse search) has two important features that can be very important for certain applications: it works in exact arithmetic, and it consumes memory proportional to the input, no matter how large the output is.

The MAGNUS computational group theory package is an innovative symbolic algebra package providing facilities for doing calculations in and about infinite groups. Almost all symbolic algebra systems are oriented toward finite computations that are guaranteed to produce answers, given enough time and resources. By contrast, MAGNUS is concerned with experiments and computations on infinite groups which in some cases are known to terminate, while in others are known to be generally recursively unsolvable.

MAGNUS features an intuitive graphical user interface, facilities for running different algorithms on the same problem in parallel, generation of approximations for working on otherwise infeasible problems, genetic algorithms and a plug-in package manager.

Despite the NP completeness of the satisfiability problem of Boolean formulas (SAT), SAT solvers are often able to decide this problem in a reasonable time frame. As all other NP complete problems are reducible to SAT, the solvers have become a general purpose tool for this class of problems.

MiniSat is a minimalistic, open-source SAT solver, developed to help researchers and developers alike to get started on SAT. Winning all the industrial categories of the SAT 2005 competition, MiniSat is a good starting point both for future research in SAT, and for applications using SAT.

This package provides the Prover9 resolution/paramodulation theorem prover and the Mace4 countermodel generator.

Prover9 is an automated theorem prover for first-order and equational logic. It is a successor of the Otter prover. Prover9 uses the inference techniques of ordered resolution and paramodulation with literal selection.

The program Mace4 searches for finite structures satisfying first-order and equational statements, the same kind of statement that Prover9 accepts. If the statement is the denial of some conjecture, any structures found by Mace4 are counterexamples to the conjecture.

Mace4 can be a valuable complement to Prover9, looking for counterexamples before (or at the same time as) using Prover9 to search for a proof. It can also be used to help debug input clauses and formulas for Prover9.

The FEniCS Form Compiler FFC provides state-of-the-art automatic and efficient evaluation of general multilinear forms (variational formulations) for FEniCS. FFC functions as the form evaluation system for DOLFIN but can also be used to compile forms for other systems.

FFC works as a compiler for multilinear forms by generating code (C or C++) for the evaluation of a multilinear form given in mathematical notation. This new approach to form evaluation makes it possible to combine generality with efficiency; the form can be given in mathematical notation and the generated code is as efficient as hand-optimized code.

OpenTURNS is a powerful and generic tool to treat and quantify uncertainties in numerical simulations in design, optimization and control. It allows both sensitivity and reliability analysis studies:

  • defining the outputs of interest and decision criterion;
  • quantify and model the source of uncertainties;
  • propagate uncertainties and/or analyse sensitivity and
  • rank the sources of uncertainty

OpenTURNS is a large project with more than 300 C++ classes which uses well known and supported software such as R for the statistical methods and BLAS/LAPACK for the linear algebra.

This package provides a textual user interface that gives access to all the functionalities provided by the OpenTURNS library.

Rheolef is a computer environment that serves as a convenient laboratory for computations in applied mathematics involving finite element-like methods. It provides a set of commands and C++ algorithms and containers.

Most basically, containers cover the classic graph data structure for sparse matrix formats and finite element meshes. At a higher level of abstraction, they can handle approximate finite element spaces, discrete fields. Flexible and powerful expressions are used to specify bilinear forms.

Current applications include:

  • massively distributed memory finite element environment, based on MPI;
  • Poisson problems in d=1,2 and 3 dimension with high order Lagrange elements, up to fifth order;
  • linear elasticity, including incompressible and nearly incompressible elasticity;
  • Stokes problems in d=2 or 3 dimension, with P2-P1 or P1 bubble-P1 elements;
  • characteristic method for convection-diffusion, time-dependent problems and Navier-Stokes equations;
  • nonlinear problems with either fixed-point algorithms or a provided generic damped Newton solver;
  • auto-adaptive mesh approaches;
  • axisymmetric problems;
  • multi-regions and variable coefficient problems.

This package provides the rheolef commands. These support input and output in various file formats for mesh-generators and numerical data visualization systems such as MayaVi, Paraview, and gnuplot.

Its purpose is to apply graph theory, with a divide and conquer approach, to scientific computing problems such as graph and mesh partitioning, static mapping, and sparse matrix ordering, in application domains ranging from structural mechanics to operating systems or bio-chemistry.

The SCOTCH distribution is a set of programs and libraries which implement the static mapping and sparse matrix reordering algorithms developed within the SCOTCH project.

SCOTCH has many interesting features:

  • Its capabilities can be used through a set of stand-alone programs as well as through the libSCOTCH library, which offers both C and Fortran interfaces.

  • It provides algorithms to partition graph structures, as well as mesh structures defined as node-element bipartite graphs and which can also represent hypergraphs.

  • It can map any weighted source graph onto any weighted target graph. The source and target graphs may have any topology, and their vertices and edges may be weighted. Moreover, both source and target graphs may be disconnected. This feature allows for the mapping of programs onto disconnected subparts of a parallel architecture made up of heterogeneous processors and communication links.

  • It computes amalgamated block orderings of sparse matrices, for efficient solving using BLAS routines.

  • Its running time is linear in the number of edges of the source graph, and logarithmic in the number of vertices of the target graph for mapping computations.

  • It can handle indifferently graph and mesh data structures created within C or Fortran programs, with array indices starting from 0 or 1.

  • It offers extended support for adaptive graphs and meshes through the handling of disjoint edge arrays.

  • It is dynamically parametrizable thanks to strategy strings that are interpreted at run-time.

  • It uses system memory efficiently, to process large graphs and meshes without incurring out-of-memory faults;

  • It is highly modular and documented. Since it has been released under the CeCILL-C free/libre software license, it can be used as a testbed for the easy and quick development and testing of new partitioning and ordering methods.

  • It can be easily interfaced to other programs. The programs comprising the SCOTCH project have been designed to run in command-line mode without any interactive prompting, so that they can be called easily from other programs by means of system() or popen() calls, or piped together on a single command line. Moreover, vertex labeling capabilities allow for easy renumbering of vertices.

  • It provides many tools to build, check, and display graphs, meshes and matrix patterns.

  • It is written in C and uses the POSIX interface, which makes it highly portable. PT-SCOTCH uses the MPI interface, and optionally the POSIX threads.

This package does not provide MATLAB. Instead, it configures an existing MATLAB installation to integrate more comfortably in a Debian installation.

Currently it provides /usr/bin/matlab through the alternatives system, offers to work around incompatibilities between the libraries bundled with MATLAB and system libraries, and provides a helper utility meant to be used by other packages to compile MEX extensions.

Install this if you would like your MATLAB installation to behave more like an ordinary Debian package. Other packages may depend on this one if they install MATLAB code, for example in order to compile MEX extensions.

nauty (no automorphisms, yes?) is a set of procedures for determining the automorphism group of a vertex-coloured graph. It provides this information in the form of a set of generators, the size of the group, and the orbits of the group. It is also able to produce a canonically-labelled isomorph of the graph, to assist in isomorphism testing. This package provides the main command line tool dreadnaut, and some utilities ('gtools'). A C API is also available.

The core of PolyBoRi is a C++ library, which provides high-level data types for Boolean polynomials and monomials, exponent vectors, as well as for the underlying polynomial rings and subsets of the powerset of the Boolean variables. As a unique approach, binary decision diagrams are used as internal storage type for polynomial structures. On top of this C++-library we provide a Python interface. This allows parsing of complex polynomial systems, as well as sophisticated and extendable strategies for Groebner base computation. PolyBoRi features a powerful reference implementation for Groebner basis computation.

This package contains the PolyBoRi's shell ipbori.

Eprover
Theorem prover for first-order logic with equality
License: free
Git
Version: 1.0.004-2

E is a fully automatic theorem prover for full first-order logic with equality. It accepts a mathematical specification and, optionally, a hypothesis, and tries to prove the hypothesis and/or find a saturation representing a (counter-)model for the specification.

E is based on a purely equational problem representation and implements a variant of the superposition calculus. Proof search can be guided with a multitude of options or a powerful automatic configuration mode. The system can process input in a number of different formats, including the standard TPTP-2 and TPTP-3 formats. It can generate proof objects in PCL2 or TPTP-3/TSTP format.

E is considered one of the most powerful and friendly automated theorem provers for first-order logic. It has consistently been among the top system in the major categories of the CASC system competition, and usually been the strongest free software system.

This package contains the isabelle toolchain.

Remark of Debian Science team: upstream prefers Isabelle not being packaged

There is an alternative software coq which is packaged in Debian (see above).

Sagemath
Mathematics software written in Python
License: free
Git
Version: 3.0.5dfsg-5.1

Sage is a mathematical software package with support for a wide range of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and exact linear algebra.

Sage integrates several dozen mathematical software packages, making it possible to combine the best algorithms from several different packages together in a single Sage program.

Much of the Sage core and the Sage interfaces are implemented in Cython, helping Sage avoid the usual performance problems associated with Python.

Sage has a friendly command-line interface based on iPython and a web-based notebook interface which can run locally or connect to a remote Sage server over the network.

Octaviz
3D visualization system for Octave
License: unknown

Octaviz is a visualization system for Octave. It is a wrapper that makes all VTK classes accessible from within Octave using the same object-oriented syntax as in C++ or Python. Octaviz also provides high-level functions for 2D and 3D visualization. Using those functions, most common visualization tasks (3D surface plots, contour plots etc) can be accomplished without any knowledge about VTK.
