pylops.FirstDerivative

class pylops.FirstDerivative(N, dims=None, dir=0, sampling=1.0, edge=False, dtype='float64')[source]

First derivative.

Apply second-order centered first derivative.

Parameters:
N : int

Number of samples in model.

dims : tuple, optional

Number of samples for each dimension (None if only one dimension is available)

dir : int, optional

Direction along which smoothing is applied.

sampling : float, optional

Sampling step dx.

edge : bool, optional

Use reduced order derivative at edges (True) or ignore them (False)

dtype : str, optional

Type of elements in input array.

Notes

The FirstDerivative operator applies a first derivative to any chosen direction of a multi-dimensional array.

For simplicity, given a one dimensional array, the second-order centered first derivative is:

\[y[i] = (0.5x[i+1] - 0.5x[i-1]) / dx\]
Attributes:
shape : tuple

Operator shape

explicit : bool

Operator contains a matrix that can be solved explicitly (True) or not (False)
