So, I've implemented RK4, and I'm wondering what I can do to make it more efficient? What I've got so far is below. I wish to still record all steps. I think AppendTo
is doing the most damage to the time, is there a faster alternative?
rk4[f_, variables_, valtinit_, tinit_, tfinal_, nsteps_] :=
Module[table, xlist, ylist, step, k1, k2, k3, k4,
xlist = tinit;
step = N[(tfinal - tinit)/(nsteps)];
ylist = valtinit;
table = xlist, ylist;
Table[
k1 = step* f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, ylist]; (*
Equivalent to step* f/.Thread[Rule[variables,ylist]]*)
k2 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, k1/2 + ylist];
k3 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, k2/2 + ylist];
k4 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, k3 + ylist];
ylist += 1/6 (k1 + 2 (k2 + k3) + k4);
xlist += step;
AppendTo[table, xlist, ylist];
xlist, ylist, nsteps];
table
];
Example Input:
funclist = -x + y, x - y;
initials = 1, 2;
variables = x, y;
init = 0;
final = 200;
nstep = 20000;
approx = rk4[funclist, variables, initials, init, final, nstep]//AbsoluteTiming;
3.59932,...
I'd love some suggestions!

AppendTo
is quadratic time complexity. Might be better to preallocate and set by index. Also it'll be much faster to not useRule
and instead code stuff up a little bit more explicitly. As a general rule, too, use vectorized operators. Those can be very fast. And if everything can be totally functional over "packed arrays" (look them up here) it'll be very quick too.

I'll work on implementing it more explicity, this is what came to find first though. It'll require some changes to the inputs, I'll have to ponder this. And preallocating the list is a quick change that won't be an issue to do, I can't believe I forgot that's faster :(. Thanks though!

@HenrikSchumacher do you think it would be faster to Pre-allocate a list of length nsteps, and append the values, or to join the values using table? I can obviously changeTable
toDo
to remove the time it takes to make the table list, going by b3m2a1's method, or I could useJoin
as you have suggested. I'm thinking your method may be faster, though. I've already removed theMapThread
part, I am testing the speed increase granted by that at the moment. Just curious which path you think will be faster.

Just to give you an impression how fast things may get when you use the right tools.
For given stepsize τ
and given vectorfield F
, this creates a CompiledFunction
cStep
that computes a single Runge-Kutta step
F = X [Function] -Indexed[X, 2], Indexed[X, 1];
τ = 0.01;
Block[YY, Y, k1, k2, k3, k4,
YY = Table[Compile`GetElement[Y, i], i, 1, 2];
k1 = τ F[YY];
k2 = τ F[0.5 k1 + YY];
k3 = τ F[0.5 k2 + YY];
k4 = τ F[k3 + YY];
cStep = With[code = YY + (k1 + 2. (k2 + k3) + k4)/6. ,
Compile[Y, _Real, 1,
code,
CompilationTarget -> "C",
RuntimeOptions -> "Speed"
]
]
];
Now we can apply it 2 million times with NestList
and still need only 2 seconds.
nsteps = 20000000;
xlist = Range[0., step nsteps, step];
Ylist = NestList[cStep, initials, nsteps]; // AbsoluteTiming // First

Compile[Y, _Real, 1,

Now we can apply it 2 million times with NestList
and still need only 2 seconds.
nsteps = 20000000;
xlist = Range[0., step nsteps, step];
Ylist = NestList[cStep, initials, nsteps]; // AbsoluteTiming // First

Damn, you definitely know how to use Mathematica A LOT more efficiently than I do. Thanks!

I'll have to play around withCompile
, it definitely seems like a massive speed up if used correctly.

Just to give you an impression how fast things may get when you use the right tools.
For given stepsize τ
and given vectorfield F
, this creates a CompiledFunction
cStep
that computes a single Runge-Kutta step
F = X [Function] -Indexed[X, 2], Indexed[X, 1];
τ = 0.01;
Block[YY, Y, k1, k2, k3, k4,
YY = Table[Compile`GetElement[Y, i], i, 1, 2];
k1 = τ F[YY];
k2 = τ F[0.5 k1 + YY];
k3 = τ F[0.5 k2 + YY];
k4 = τ F[k3 + YY];
cStep = With[code = YY + (k1 + 2. (k2 + k3) + k4)/6. ,
Compile[Y, _Real, 1,
code,
CompilationTarget -> "C",
RuntimeOptions -> "Speed"
]

AppendTo
is quadratic time complexity. Might be better to preallocate and set by index. Also it'll be much faster to not useRule
and instead code stuff up a little bit more explicitly. As a general rule, too, use vectorized operators. Those can be very fast. And if everything can be totally functional over "packed arrays" (look them up here) it'll be very quick too.$endgroup$

I'll work on implementing it more explicity, this is what came to find first though. It'll require some changes to the inputs, I'll have to ponder this. And preallocating the list is a quick change that won't be an issue to do, I can't believe I forgot that's faster :(. Thanks though!

Shinaoloard, using
Join[ xlist, ylist, Table[ k1 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, ylist]; k2 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, k1/2 + ylist]; k3 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, k2/2 + ylist]; k4 = step*f /. MapThread[Rule, variables, k3 + ylist]; ylist += 1/6 (k1 + 2 (k2 + k3) + k4); xlist += step; xlist, ylist, nsteps ] ]
as return value is already a first step. There is no point in appending if you use aTable
anyways.$endgroup$

$begingroup$
@HenrikSchumacher do you think it would be faster to Pre-allocate a list of length nsteps, and append the values, or to join the values using table? I can obviously change
Table
toDo
to remove the time it takes to make the table list, going by b3m2a1's method, or I could useJoin
as you have suggested. I'm thinking your method may be faster, though. I've already removed theMapThread
part, I am testing the speed increase granted by that at the moment. Just curious which path you think will be faster.$endgroup$

I am currently testing the speed difference between the one in the post and
rk4t2[f_, valtinit_, tinit_, tfinal_, nsteps_] := Module[test, table, xlist, ylist, step, k1, k2, k3, k4, xlist = tinit; step = N[(tfinal - tinit)/(nsteps)]; ylist = valtinit; table = xlist, ylist; test = Table[ k1 = step* f[ylist] ; k2 = step*f[k1/2 + ylist]; k3 = step*f[k2/2 + ylist]; k4 = step*f[k3 + ylist]; ylist += 1/6 (k1 + 2 (k2 + k3) + k4); xlist += step; xlist, ylist, nsteps]; Join[table, test] ];
