assembly ¤
Assembly functions for the transient circuit solver.
Provides functions for evaluating the residual vectors and effective Jacobian of the discretised circuit equations at each Newton iteration. Functions are provided in two variants:
-
Full assembly (:func:
assemble_system_real, :func:assemble_system_complex) — evaluates both the residual and the forward-mode Jacobian viajax.jacfwd. Used once per timestep to assemble and factor the frozen Jacobian in :class:~circulax.solver.FactorizedTransientSolver. -
Residual only (:func:
assemble_residual_only_real, :func:assemble_residual_only_complex) — evaluates only the primal residual, with no Jacobian computation. Used inside the Newton loop where the Jacobian has already been factored and only needs to be applied.
Each pair has a real and a complex variant. The complex variant operates on state vectors in unrolled block format — real parts concatenated with imaginary parts — allowing complex circuit analyses to reuse real-valued sparse linear algebra kernels.
Functions:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
assemble_gc_real | Return separate G and C COO value arrays at the linearisation point. |
assemble_residual_only_complex | Assemble the residual vectors for an unrolled complex system, without computing the Jacobian. |
assemble_residual_only_real | Assemble the residual vectors for a real system, without computing the Jacobian. |
assemble_system_complex | Assemble the residual vectors and effective Jacobian values for an unrolled complex system. |
assemble_system_real | Assemble the residual vectors and effective Jacobian values for a real system. |
assemble_gc_real ¤
Return separate G and C COO value arrays at the linearisation point.
Mirrors :func:assemble_system_real but returns df/dy (conductance) and dq/dy (capacitance) separately instead of combining them as G + C/dt. Frequency-domain groups contribute zero-filled blocks so that the returned arrays align with the static COO index arrays produced by _build_index_arrays (which includes all groups).
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
y_guess | Array | Linearisation point (DC operating point), shape | required |
component_groups | dict | Compiled component groups from :func: | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Array | A two-tuple |
Array | have the same length as the concatenated |
tuple[Array, Array] | index arrays from |

assemble_residual_only_complex ¤
assemble_residual_only_complex(
y_guess: Array, component_groups: dict, t1: float, dt: float
) -> tuple[Array, Array]
Assemble the residual vectors for an unrolled complex system, without computing the Jacobian.
The complex counterpart of :func:assemble_residual_only_real. The state vector is expected in unrolled block format (real parts followed by imaginary parts) matching the layout used by :func:assemble_system_complex.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
y_guess | Array | Unrolled state vector of shape | required |
component_groups | dict | Compiled component groups returned by :func: | required |
t1 | float | Time at which the system is being evaluated. | required |
dt | float | Unused; present for signature symmetry with :func: | required |
Returns:

|---|---|
Array | A two-tuple |

assemble_residual_only_real ¤
assemble_residual_only_real(
y_guess: Array, component_groups: dict, t1: float, dt: float
) -> tuple[Array, Array]
Assemble the residual vectors for a real system, without computing the Jacobian.
Cheaper than :func:assemble_system_real as it performs only primal evaluations. Used inside the frozen-Jacobian Newton loop where the Jacobian has already been factored and only the residual needs to be recomputed at each iteration.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
y_guess | Array | Current state vector of shape | required |
component_groups | dict | Compiled component groups returned by :func: | required |
t1 | float | Time at which the system is being evaluated. | required |
dt | float | Unused; present for signature symmetry with :func: | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Array | A two-tuple |

assemble_system_complex ¤
assemble_system_complex(
y_guess: Array,
component_groups: dict,
t1: float,
dt: float,
source_scale: float = 1.0,
alpha: float = 1.0,
) -> tuple[Array, Array, Array]
Assemble the residual vectors and effective Jacobian values for an unrolled complex system.
The complex state vector is stored in unrolled (block) format: the first half of y_guess holds the real parts of all node voltages/states, the second half holds the imaginary parts. This avoids JAX's limited support for complex-valued sparse linear solvers by keeping all arithmetic real.
The Jacobian is split into four real blocks — RR, RI, IR, II — representing the partial derivatives of the real and imaginary residual components with respect to the real and imaginary state components respectively. The blocks are concatenated in RR→RI→IR→II order to match the sparsity index layout produced during compilation.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
y_guess | Array | Unrolled state vector of shape | required |
component_groups | dict | Compiled component groups returned by :func: | required |
t1 | float | Time at which the system is being evaluated. | required |
dt | float | Timestep duration, used to scale the reactive Jacobian blocks. | required |
source_scale | float | Multiplicative scale applied to source amplitudes (components whose | 1.0 |
alpha | float | Jacobian scaling factor for the reactive blocks. Use | 1.0 |

assemble_system_real ¤
assemble_system_real(
y_guess: Array,
component_groups: dict,
t1: float,
dt: float,
source_scale: float = 1.0,
alpha: float = 1.0,
) -> tuple[Array, Array, Array]
Assemble the residual vectors and effective Jacobian values for a real system.
For each component group, evaluates the physics at t1 and computes the forward-mode Jacobian via jax.jacfwd. The effective Jacobian combines the resistive and reactive contributions as J_eff = df/dy + (alpha/dt) * dq/dy, where alpha=1 recovers Backward Euler and alpha=3/2 (uniform step) gives BDF2.
Components are processed in sorted key order to ensure a deterministic non-zero layout in the sparse Jacobian, which is required for the factorisation step.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
y_guess | Array | Current state vector of shape | required |
component_groups | dict | Compiled component groups returned by :func: | required |
t1 | float | Time at which the system is being evaluated. | required |
dt | float | Timestep duration, used to scale the reactive Jacobian block. | required |
source_scale | float | Multiplicative scale applied to source amplitudes (components whose | 1.0 |
alpha | float | Jacobian scaling factor for the reactive block. Use | 1.0 |
