QuantityType

An enumeration with literals as the value of the DependentVariable objects’ quantity_type attribute. The value is used in interpreting the p-components of the dependent variable.

  • scalar

    A dependent variable with \(p=1\) component interpret as a scalar, \(\mathcal{S}_i=U_{0,i}\).

  • vector_n

    A dependent variable with \(p=n\) components interpret as vector components, \(\mathcal{V}_i= \left[ U_{0,i}, U_{1,i}, ... U_{n-1,i}\right]\).

  • matrix_n_m

    A dependent variable with \(p=mn\) components interpret as a \(n \times m\) matrix as follows,

    (7)\[\begin{split}M_i = \left[ \begin{array}{cccc} U_{0,i} & U_{1,i} & ... &U_{(n-1)m,i} \\ U_{1,i} & U_{m+1,i} & ... &U_{(n-1)m+1,i} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots \\ U_{m-1,i} & U_{2m-1,i} & ... &U_{nm-1,i} \end{array} \right]\end{split}\]
  • symmetric_matrix_n

    A dependent variable with \(p=n^2\) components interpret as a matrix symmetric about its leading diagonal as shown below,

    (8)\[\begin{split}M^{(s)}_i = \left[ \begin{array}{cccc} U_{0,i} & U_{1,i} & ... & U_{n-1,i} \\ U_{1,i} & U_{n,i} & ... &U_{2n-2,i} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots \\ U_{n-1,i} & U_{2n-2,i} & ... &U_{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-1,i} \end{array} \right]\end{split}\]
  • pixel_n

    A dependent variable with \(p=n\) components interpret as image/pixel components, \(\mathcal{P}_i= \left[ U_{0,i}, U_{1,i}, ... U_{n-1,i}\right]\).

Here, the terms \(n\) and \(m\) are intergers.
