Python: module softMax
 
softMax
index

Helper module to compute an approximate maximum (or minimum) coordinate value
in a chosen direction.
 
<string>

The soft max value is given by zsoftMax or zlogSumExp

zsoftMax = iziezi ⁄ γ ⁄ iezi ⁄ γ

The logSumExp expression is

zlogSumExp = γlogiezi ⁄ γ

where the sum is over all chosen atoms, and zi = pqi + ri, p is a unit vector in the direction given by the projection member, qi and ri are the position and radius of atom i, respectively.

[The actual exponential computation is relative to the maximum value - to avoid overflows.]


 
Thus, the soft max is an approximation to the bounds of a collection
of coordinates which is smooth as the identity of the involved atoms
changes. 
 
 
Constructor:
 
   SoftMax(sel,
           gamma=1,
           type="softMax")
        
 
    The first argument is a string or atomSel.AtomSel object
    describing the collection of atoms to describe. The type argument
    is either "softMax" or "logSumExp".
 
Methods:
 
   value()     - Return the soft max value.
 
   hardValue() - Return the hard (actual) maximum value.
 
   selection() - return the sel argument specified in the constructor.
 
   derivs(pref,   - compute a gradient with respect to coordinates given
          derivs)   a constant pref value, and a derivList.DerivList
                    object.
 
Accessors:
 
  gamma      - the softness parameter in the above equation: the larger 
               this value, the softer the function (and the worse the
               approximation is to the hardValue).
  radii      - a vector of radii size len(sel). All radii are 0 by
               default.
  projection - direction in which to compute the maximum - the z
               direction (0,0,1) by default.
  isMinimum  - If True, the minimum value in the given direction is
               computed - by appropriately setting gamma to a negative
               value.
  type       - Specify the soft max expression, "softMax" or "logSumExp".
