2 Angular Momentum

Azimuthal quantum number, repsesented as \( s,p,d,\dots \) .

2.1 Type

Angular_momentum.t

type t =
  | S | P | D | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O
  | Int of int

exception Angular_momentum_error of string

type kind =
    Singlet of t
  | Doublet of (t * t)
  | Triplet of (t * t * t)
  | Quartet of (t * t * t * t)

An exception is raised when the Angular_momentum.t element can't be created.

The kind is used to build shells, shell doublets, triplets or quartets, use in the two-electron operators.

2.6 TODO Tests

3 Bit string

We define here a data type to handle bit strings efficiently. When the bit string contains less than 64 bits, it is stored internally in a 63-bit integer and uses bitwise instructions. When more than 63 bits are required, the zarith library is used to consider the bit string as a multi-precision integer.

5 Command line

This module is a wrapper around the Getopt library and helps to define command-line arguments.

Here is an example of how to use this module. First, define the specification:

let open Command_line in
begin
  set_header_doc (Sys.argv.(0) ^ " - One-line description");
  set_description_doc "Long description of the command.";
  set_specs
    [ { short='c'; long="check"; opt=Optional;
        doc="Checks the input data";
        arg=Without_arg; };

      { short='b' ; long="basis" ; opt=Mandatory;
        arg=With_arg "<string>";
        doc="Name of the file containing the basis set"; } ;

      { short='m' ; long="multiplicity" ; opt=Optional;
        arg=With_arg "<int>";
        doc="Spin multiplicity (2S+1). Default is singlet"; } ;
    ]
end;

Then, define what to do with the arguments:

let c =
  Command_line.get_bool "check"
in

let basis =
  match Command_line.get "basis" with
  | Some x -> x
  | None -> assert false
in

let multiplicity =
  match Command_line.get "multiplicity" with
  | None -> 1
  | Some n -> int_of_string n
in

5.1 Types

type short_opt     = char
type long_opt      = string
type optional      = Mandatory | Optional
type documentation = string
type argument      = | With_arg of string
                     | Without_arg
                     | With_opt_arg of string

type description = {
  short: short_opt ;
  long : long_opt  ;
  opt  : optional  ;
  doc  : documentation ;
  arg  : argument ;
}

  • Short option: in the command line, a dash with a single character (ex: ls -l)
  • Long option: in the command line, two dashes with a word (ex: ls --directory)
  • Command-line options can be Mandatory or Optional
  • Documentation of the option is used in the help function
  • Some options require an argument (ls --ignore="*.ml" ), some don't (ls -l) and for some arguments the argument is optional (git --log[=<n>])

5.2 Mutable attributes

All the options are stored in the hash table dict where the key is the long option and the value is a value of type description.

val set_header_doc : string -> unit
val set_description_doc : string -> unit
val set_footer_doc : string -> unit

Functions to set the header, footer and main description of the documentation provided by the help function:

Function to create an anonymous argument.

5.3 Query functions

val get       : long_opt -> string option
val get_bool  : long_opt -> bool
val anon_args : unit -> string list
get Returns the argument associated with a long option

val unsafe_of_float : float -> t
val to_float        : t -> float

val of_string       : string -> t
val to_string       : t -> string

The of_float function checks that the float is non-negative. The unsafe variant doesn't do this check.

9 Powers

Powers.(to_int_tuple (of_int_tuple (2,3,1)));;
- : int * int * int = (2, 3, 1)

9.3 Operations

get Returns the value of the power for \(x\), \(y\) or \(z\)

- : int = 3

Powers.incr Coordinate.Y (Powers.of_int_tuple (2,3,1));;
- : Powers.t = x^2 + y^4 + z^1
