From 73ac8f1b96fbfb3d0c57d7804bf67a0d28a6b8a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Albert Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:10:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Add integmode 20 (Gauss-Radau) and 21 (Bulirsch-Stoer) These are the explicit high-order methods the integrator benchmark needs to put opposite the symplectic schemes. Both run on the 4D canonical chart through the existing f_ode, so they integrate the same canonical Hamiltonian, via the same field evaluations, as integmode 1-7 and 15. That is what makes a comparison per field evaluation like for like -- unlike integmode 0, which runs the 5D drift-kinetic form with a different right-hand side and different coordinates, and so cannot be compared to the symplectic schemes evaluation for evaluation. integmode 20 is the first-order-system formulation of IAS15 (Rein & Spiegel 2015), the strongest published claim that a non-symplectic method beats symplectic ones on long integrations. integmode 21 is Gragg-Bulirsch-Stoer extrapolation, the classical high-accuracy explicit method of celestial mechanics. Three things needed to make this work, each worth recording: - The step size is carried across macro-steps in explicit_h_carry. Without it every macro-step restarts the step-size search from a default guess and spends most of its evaluations rediscovering a step it already knew: 5.0M field evaluations against 4.0M on the same short run. - fortnum's ode_solve_* helpers relied on allocation-on-assignment, which libneo disables globally with -fno-realloc-lhs (libneo/CMakeLists.txt:130, directory-scoped add_compile_options, so it leaks into every subproject added after it, fortnum included). Under that flag "lhs = rhs" on an unallocated allocatable writes through a null descriptor and segfaults. Fixed upstream in fortnum by allocating explicitly; this branch pins the fortnum revision carrying that fix. - The explicit steppers live on the quasi path and read its module-level state, while the driver calls through the symplectic stepper signature, so orbit_timestep_sympl_radau15/gbs16 bridge between the two. The quasi state is threadprivate, so this is thread safe. The copies are the price of reusing f_ode unchanged, which is what keeps the comparison honest. Not yet addressed, and deliberately out of scope here: the macro-step granularity bounds how large a step the adaptive methods may take, so at the default npoiper2 they pay a high per-step cost for an order they cannot use. The work-precision study has to sweep that parameter rather than hold it fixed. All 31 unit tests pass. --- CMakeLists.txt | 2 +- examples/simple_full.in | 2 +- src/orbit_symplectic.f90 | 42 ++++++++++++++- src/orbit_symplectic_base.f90 | 13 +++++ src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 | 96 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/simple.f90 | 2 +- 6 files changed, 153 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt index 5aa3b357..76eec0c0 100644 --- a/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/CMakeLists.txt @@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ if(NOT TARGET fortnum) FetchContent_Declare( fortnum GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/lazy-fortran/fortnum.git - GIT_TAG 92de6e949a772cfffc73bb5295fe5e2b056b9c18 + GIT_TAG a14192874195b8d22a90f0c034ec4c56772be7aa ) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(fortnum) endif() diff --git a/examples/simple_full.in b/examples/simple_full.in index 38a69bc0..a18e3df4 100644 --- a/examples/simple_full.in +++ b/examples/simple_full.in @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ startmode = 1 ! mode for initial conditions: ! 5=distribute in volume ("global") grid_density = 0d0 ! for startmode 1 only, between 0.0 to 0.99, when 0.0 then no grid is made. special_ants_file = .False. ! if .True., a different start file is read (defined in samplers.f90), .False. uses standard filename (defined in samplers.f90) -integmode = 1 ! mode for integrator: -1 = RK VMEC, 0 = RK, 1 = Euler1, 2 = Euler2, 3 = Midpoint, 4-7 = Gauss1-4, 15 = Lobatto3 +integmode = 1 ! integrator: -1 = RK VMEC, 0 = RK, 1 = Euler1, 2 = Euler2, 3 = Midpoint, 4-7 = Gauss1-4, 15 = Lobatto3, 20 = Gauss-Radau, 21 = Bulirsch-Stoer relerr = 1d-13 ! tolerance for integrator.

Only z(1:4) are integrated; the caller reconstructs the parallel velocity as z(5) = f%vpar/(pabs*sqrt(2)), reading f%vpar off the module-global field_can_t that f_ode fills as a side effect. After a multi-stage step that side effect belongs to the last interior stage node, not to the end of the step, so z(5) carried an error no tolerance could remove. Measured on a 32-particle sweep, components 1-4 of the final state converged to 5e-9 while z(5) stalled at 3.3e-4 and did not improve at all from rtol 1e-8 to 1e-10 -- which reads as a defective integrator and is not one. One field evaluation at the converged state, against the hundreds a step already costs, brings z(5) to 2.5e-7, in line with the other components. The fortnum pin was also inert. libneo declares fortnum as well, and FetchContent honours the first declaration and silently discards later ones, so the pin here never applied and a clean clone built against libneo's older fortnum -- failing to find the Gauss-Radau and extrapolation modules. It was invisible locally because find_or_fetch(libneo) resolves to a working-tree checkout that already had them; it reproduced immediately on a fresh cluster clone.

Differentiating once gives zdd = F'(z)F(z) = G(z), genuinely in special second-order form because zd is determined by z, and re-synchronising the velocity to F(z) each step makes the scheme a special two-derivative Runge-Kutta method (Chan & Tsai, Numer. Algorithms 53 (2010) 171). Its order conditions coincide with the Nystrom ones, which is what lets an RKN tableau be applied to a first-order system at all. Because the velocity is recomputed rather than propagated, only position order conditions are needed, so order 4 costs two stages rather than three. G is derived analytically rather than by finite differences, which is the whole point: a finite-difference Jacobian-vector product would cost an extra F per G and put the method on the wrong side of the order-4 break-even. The derivation is verified in the study repo at derivation/tdrk_guiding_center_G.wl, where Mathematica differentiates f_ode's F symbolically and compares against this closed form -- symbolic residual exactly zero, numeric spot-check with nonlinear coupled test functions agreeing to 3.6e-15. That file also checks which derivatives appear, and reports second derivatives of H and pth, first of vpar, hth and hph, with no third derivatives anywhere. So G needs exactly one mode_secders = 2 evaluation, which SIMPLE already computes for the implicit symplectic Jacobians, and no extra F evaluations. Only d2H indices 1 to 9 are used: F depends on H solely through dH(1:3), so differentiating it cannot raise index 10, which get_derivatives2 does not fill. Measured in SIMPLE against a Gauss-Radau reference, the observed order over the resolved part of the ladder is 4.01. --- src/orbit_symplectic.f90 | 20 +++- src/orbit_symplectic_base.f90 | 6 +- src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 | 161 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 183 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/orbit_symplectic.f90 b/src/orbit_symplectic.f90 index 71074330..b0f2968c 100644 --- a/src/orbit_symplectic.f90 +++ b/src/orbit_symplectic.f90 @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ module orbit_symplectic eval_field => evaluate use orbit_symplectic_base, only: symplectic_integrator_t, multistage_integrator_t, & RK45, EXPL_IMPL_EULER, IMPL_EXPL_EULER, MIDPOINT, GAUSS1, GAUSS2, GAUSS3, GAUSS4, & - LOBATTO3, RADAU15, GBS16, S_MAX, orbit_timestep_sympl_i, extrap_field, sympl_rmax, & + LOBATTO3, RADAU15, GBS16, TDRK24, S_MAX, orbit_timestep_sympl_i, extrap_field, sympl_rmax, & coeff_rk_gauss, coeff_rk_lobatto, f_rk_lobatto, & SYMPLECTIC_STEP_OK, SYMPLECTIC_STEP_OUTSIDE_DOMAIN, & SYMPLECTIC_STEP_MAXITER, SYMPLECTIC_STEP_LINEAR_SOLVE, & @@ -15,7 +15,8 @@ module orbit_symplectic boundary_event_radial_tolerance, symplectic_newton_warning_mode use orbit_symplectic_quasi, only: orbit_timestep_quasi, timestep_expl_impl_euler_quasi, & timestep_impl_expl_euler_quasi, timestep_midpoint_quasi, orbit_timestep_rk45, & - orbit_timestep_radau15, orbit_timestep_gbs16, si_quasi => si, f_quasi => f, & + orbit_timestep_radau15, orbit_timestep_gbs16, orbit_timestep_tdrk24, & + si_quasi => si, f_quasi => f, & timestep_rk_gauss_quasi, timestep_rk_lobatto_quasi use orbit_symplectic_euler1, only: sympl_euler1_residual, sympl_euler1_jacobian, & sympl_euler1_newton_iter, sympl_euler1_extrapolate_field, & @@ -280,6 +281,9 @@ recursive subroutine orbit_sympl_init(si, f, z, dt, ntau, rtol_init, mode_init) case (GBS16) raw_timestep_sympl => orbit_timestep_sympl_gbs16 orbit_timestep_quasi => orbit_timestep_gbs16 + case (TDRK24) + raw_timestep_sympl => orbit_timestep_sympl_tdrk24 + orbit_timestep_quasi => orbit_timestep_tdrk24 case default print *, 'invalid mode for orbit_timestep_sympl: ', mode_init error stop @@ -324,6 +328,18 @@ recursive subroutine orbit_timestep_sympl_gbs16(si, f, ierr) f = f_quasi end subroutine orbit_timestep_sympl_gbs16 +recursive subroutine orbit_timestep_sympl_tdrk24(si, f, ierr) + type(symplectic_integrator_t), intent(inout) :: si + type(field_can_t), intent(inout) :: f + integer, intent(out) :: ierr + + si_quasi = si + f_quasi = f + call orbit_timestep_tdrk24(ierr) + si = si_quasi + f = f_quasi +end subroutine orbit_timestep_sympl_tdrk24 + !ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ! diff --git a/src/orbit_symplectic_base.f90 b/src/orbit_symplectic_base.f90 index 9302e5fd..bac36c4c 100644 --- a/src/orbit_symplectic_base.f90 +++ b/src/orbit_symplectic_base.f90 @@ -31,7 +31,11 @@ module orbit_symplectic_base ! symplectic ones on long integrations.

Unlike the guiding-centre case this needs no reformulation and no second derivatives of the field, so it is the one place a Nystrom-family method applies to SIMPLE directly, and the most faithful test of the original suggestion. It sits beside the Boris pusher and shares cart_field, so the field path and the warm-start inversion are identical and only the time advance differs. The test gates on ORDER, not on an energy bound, because gating on energy would be a category error. Boris conserves energy structurally -- its magnetic rotation is exact for constant B, so its drift is round-off at any step size and says nothing about accuracy. For a method that does not preserve structure the energy error IS the truncation error, so the meaningful statement is that it falls at the design rate under refinement. In a static magnetic field the exact flow conserves energy identically, which makes this an independent oracle with no reference trajectory and no recorded output involved. Measured across h, h/2, h/4: 1.25e-3, 1.57e-4, 1.97e-5 passing and 6.42e-3, 8.06e-4, 1.01e-4 trapped -- observed order 3.00 in both cases, matching the tableau. A first attempt gated RKNG at the same 1e-3 energy bound as Boris and failed at 2.7e-3, which looked like a defect and was not one: at a gyro-resolving step a third-order method accumulates about that much over 4000 steps. The bound was measuring the absence of a structural property rather than the presence of an error. --- src/orbit_fo_boris.f90 | 90 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- test/tests/test_fo_boris.f90 | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 166 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/orbit_fo_boris.f90 b/src/orbit_fo_boris.f90 index 807d24c7..1426d11d 100644 --- a/src/orbit_fo_boris.f90 +++ b/src/orbit_fo_boris.f90 @@ -48,7 +48,8 @@ module orbit_fo_boris integer, parameter, public :: FO_OK = 0, FO_LOSS = 1, FO_LOCATE_FAIL = 2 public :: fo_state_t, fo_init, fo_init_reference, fo_step, fo_energy, & - fo_mu, fo_to_gc, fo_to_reference_gc, accept_or_fail + fo_mu, fo_to_gc, fo_to_reference_gc, accept_or_fail, fo_step_rkng + type :: fo_state_t real(dp) :: x(3) = 0.0_dp !

This mode uses the same f_ode as the symplectic schemes, Gauss-Radau, Bulirsch-Stoer and TDRK. integmode 25 is TDRK under tolerance control, using fortnum's new embedded pair. TDRK stays available fixed-step as 24: fixed step is what makes it comparable to the symplectic schemes at matched resolution, tolerance control is what makes it comparable to the adaptive ones at matched accuracy. Full orbit gains the same choice through fo_step_rkng_adaptive. Also fixes a state leak: explicit_h_carry is a warm start for the step controller and was never reset between orbits, so an orbit's first macro-step depended on which orbit the thread had run before it. Same particle, different evaluation counts depending on scheduling. orbit_sympl_init resets it. test_explicit_integmodes covers all five explicit modes against two oracles: the canonical Hamiltonian is an exact invariant, so its drift must respond to the tolerance (or to refinement, for the fixed-step mode); and the four adaptive methods -- collocation, extrapolation, an embedded explicit pair, a two-derivative pair -- must agree at tight tolerance, which four unrelated methods would not do if any shared a bug.

Integmodes 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25 hand a whole substep to an adaptive integrator in one call and never looked between its endpoints, so they never reported it. A marker that crossed s = 1 was integrated onwards through extrapolated splines and recorded as confined. At paper scale (1000 alphas, 1 s trace) that put 44 markers at s > 1 for Bulirsch-Stoer and 42 for TDRK, one as far out as s = 2.8, all counted as confined: 76 losses against the 206 and 210 that RK4/5 and symplectic midpoint independently found. Every confined fraction from these modes was wrong, and so was my earlier report of a Bulirsch-Stoer instability at 1 s -- BS was not failing differently from the rest of the explicit family, it was failing the same way. Each driver now checks the radius after every substep and returns OUTSIDE_DOMAIN, which hands the step to the existing bisection. On a 1e-2 s trace over 1000 markers the five explicit modes now find 204-205 losses against symplectic midpoint's 205, with no confined marker above s = 0.992. Integrator failure also gets its own status. It was returning 1, which is the numeric value of SYMPLECTIC_STEP_OUTSIDE_DOMAIN, so a numerical failure was classified as a physical loss; it now returns SYMPLECTIC_STEP_MAXITER. The regression test asserts a physical invariant rather than a recorded result: a marker reported as confined is inside the last closed flux surface. One escaped marker fails it, which matters because a short trace produces few losses and a test needing many would be insensitive. --- src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 | 44 +++++- test/tests/CMakeLists.txt | 12 ++ test/tests/test_explicit_loss_detection.py | 172 +++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 222 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 test/tests/test_explicit_loss_detection.py diff --git a/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 b/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 index 73536624..5e17c08a 100644 --- a/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 +++ b/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 @@ -4,7 +4,8 @@ module orbit_symplectic_quasi use field_can_mod, only: eval_field => evaluate, field_can_t, get_derivatives, & get_derivatives2 use orbit_symplectic_base, only: symplectic_integrator_t, multistage_integrator_t, & - orbit_timestep_quasi_i, coeff_rk_gauss, coeff_rk_lobatto, f_rk_lobatto, sympl_rmax + orbit_timestep_quasi_i, coeff_rk_gauss, coeff_rk_lobatto, f_rk_lobatto, sympl_rmax, & + SYMPLECTIC_STEP_OK, SYMPLECTIC_STEP_OUTSIDE_DOMAIN, SYMPLECTIC_STEP_MAXITER use fortnum_multiroot, only: multiroot_hybrids use fortnum_status, only: fortnum_status_t use diag_counters, only: count_event, EVT_R_NEGATIVE @@ -45,6 +46,27 @@ subroutine reset_explicit_step_carry explicit_h_carry = 0d0 end subroutine reset_explicit_step_carry + !ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc + ! +!

Every other integrator in SIMPLE continues on the opposite ray, (r, theta) -> (|r|, theta + pi), which is the fix from #370. The explicit drivers did not, so a marker crossing the axis carried a negative radius into the next substep and the field was evaluated outside the spline domain. Integmode 21 records two r_negative events on a 64-marker near-axis case, so the path is live. Verified by comparing per-marker final states between builds identical except for the switch: one marker of 64 differs, by 4.8. The regression test cannot discriminate this and says so in its own comments -- two correct methods already differ by up to 5.6 on the same markers, because any trace long enough to reach the axis is long enough for the orbits to decorrelate. A sensitive test needs an axis-crossing orbit in the analytic field, where the trajectory is not chaotic; noted as follow-up. Also stops the boundary bisection from corrupting the step-size carry. locate_symplectic_boundary re-runs the step up to 64 times on shrinking fractions of dt, and each trial overwrote the carry, so it came back at bisection scale. No published number changes: every path that corrupts it ends the orbit immediately afterwards, and orbit_sympl_init resets it per particle. Fixed because 'currently unreachable' is a poor reason to leave it. --- src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 | 81 ++++++++++---- test/tests/test_explicit_loss_detection.py | 120 ++++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 144 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 b/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 index 5e17c08a..83df6ba8 100644 --- a/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 +++ b/src/orbit_symplectic_quasi.f90 @@ -48,24 +48,48 @@ end subroutine reset_explicit_step_carry !ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ! -!
