709 einsum_path(subscripts, *operands, optimize='greedy')
711 Evaluates the lowest cost contraction order for an einsum expression by
712 considering the creation of intermediate arrays.
714 Parameters
715 ----------
716 subscripts : str
717 Specifies the subscripts for summation.
718 *operands : list of array_like
719 These are the arrays for the operation.
720 optimize : {bool, list, tuple, 'greedy', 'optimal'}
721 Choose the type of path. If a tuple is provided, the second argument is
722 assumed to be the maximum intermediate size created. If only a single
723 argument is provided the largest input or output array size is used
724 as a maximum intermediate size.
726 * if a list is given that starts with ``einsum_path``, uses this as the
727 contraction path
728 * if False no optimization is taken
729 * if True defaults to the 'greedy' algorithm
730 * 'optimal' An algorithm that combinatorially explores all possible
731 ways of contracting the listed tensors and choosest the least costly
732 path. Scales exponentially with the number of terms in the
733 contraction.
734 * 'greedy' An algorithm that chooses the best pair contraction
735 at each step. Effectively, this algorithm searches the largest inner,
736 Hadamard, and then outer products at each step. Scales cubically with
737 the number of terms in the contraction. Equivalent to the 'optimal'
738 path for most contractions.
740 Default is 'greedy'.
742 Returns
743 -------
744 path : list of tuples
745 A list representation of the einsum path.
746 string_repr : str
747 A printable representation of the einsum path.
749 Notes
750 -----
751 The resulting path indicates which terms of the input contraction should be
752 contracted first, the result of this contraction is then appended to the
753 end of the contraction list. This list can then be iterated over until all
754 intermediate contractions are complete.

763 We can begin with a chain dot example. In this case, it is optimal to
764 contract the ``b`` and ``c`` tensors first as represented by the first
765 element of the path ``(1, 2)``. The resulting tensor is added to the end
766 of the contraction and the remaining contraction ``(0, 1)`` is then
767 completed.

1015 Evaluates the Einstein summation convention on the operands.
1017 Using the Einstein summation convention, many common multi-dimensional,
1018 linear algebraic array operations can be represented in a simple fashion.
1019 In *implicit* mode `einsum` computes these values.
1021 In *explicit* mode, `einsum` provides further flexibility to compute
1022 other array operations that might not be considered classical Einstein
1023 summation operations, by disabling, or forcing summation over specified
1024 subscript labels.
1026 See the notes and examples for clarification.
1028 Parameters
1029 ----------
1030 subscripts : str
1031 Specifies the subscripts for summation as comma separated list of
1032 subscript labels. An implicit (classical Einstein summation)
1033 calculation is performed unless the explicit indicator '->' is
1034 included as well as subscript labels of the precise output form.
1035 operands : list of array_like
1036 These are the arrays for the operation.
1037 out : ndarray, optional
1038 If provided, the calculation is done into this array.
1039 dtype : {data-type, None}, optional
1040 If provided, forces the calculation to use the data type specified.
1041 Note that you may have to also give a more liberal `casting`
1042 parameter to allow the conversions. Default is None.
1043 order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional
1044 Controls the memory layout of the output. 'C' means it should
1045 be C contiguous. 'F' means it should be Fortran contiguous,
1046 'A' means it should be 'F' if the inputs are all 'F', 'C' otherwise.
1047 'K' means it should be as close to the layout as the inputs as
1048 is possible, including arbitrarily permuted axes.
1049 Default is 'K'.
1050 casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
1051 Controls what kind of data casting may occur. Setting this to
1052 'unsafe' is not recommended, as it can adversely affect accumulations.
1054 * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
1055 * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
1056 * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
1057 * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
1058 like float64 to float32, are allowed.
1059 * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.
1061 Default is 'safe'.
1062 optimize : {False, True, 'greedy', 'optimal'}, optional
1063 Controls if intermediate optimization should occur. No optimization
1064 will occur if False and True will default to the 'greedy' algorithm.
1065 Also accepts an explicit contraction list from the ``np.einsum_path``
1066 function. See ``np.einsum_path`` for more details. Defaults to False.
1068 Returns
1069 -------
1070 output : ndarray
1071 The calculation based on the Einstein summation convention.

1086 Notes
1087 -----
1088 .. versionadded:: 1.6.0
1090 The Einstein summation convention can be used to compute
1091 many multi-dimensional, linear algebraic array operations. `einsum`
1092 provides a succinct way of representing these.
1094 A non-exhaustive list of these operations,
1095 which can be computed by `einsum`, is shown below along with examples:
1097 * Trace of an array, :py:func:`numpy.trace`.
1098 * Return a diagonal, :py:func:`numpy.diag`.
1099 * Array axis summations, :py:func:`numpy.sum`.
1100 * Transpositions and permutations, :py:func:`numpy.transpose`.
1101 * Matrix multiplication and dot product, :py:func:`numpy.matmul` :py:func:`numpy.dot`.
1102 * Vector inner and outer products, :py:func:`numpy.inner` :py:func:`numpy.outer`.
1103 * Broadcasting, element-wise and scalar multiplication, :py:func:`numpy.multiply`.
1104 * Tensor contractions, :py:func:`numpy.tensordot`.
1105 * Chained array operations, in efficient calculation order, :py:func:`numpy.einsum_path`.
1107 The subscripts string is a comma-separated list of subscript labels,
1108 where each label refers to a dimension of the corresponding operand.
1109 Whenever a label is repeated it is summed, so ``np.einsum('i,i', a, b)``
1110 is equivalent to :py:func:`np.inner(a,b) <numpy.inner>`. If a label
1111 appears only once, it is not summed, so ``np.einsum('i', a)`` produces a
1112 view of ``a`` with no changes. A further example ``np.einsum('ij,jk', a, b)``
1113 describes traditional matrix multiplication and is equivalent to
1114 :py:func:`np.matmul(a,b) <numpy.matmul>`. Repeated subscript labels in one
1115 operand take the diagonal. For example, ``np.einsum('ii', a)`` is equivalent
1116 to :py:func:`np.trace(a) <numpy.trace>`.
1118 In *implicit mode*, the chosen subscripts are important
1119 since the axes of the output are reordered alphabetically. This
1120 means that ``np.einsum('ij', a)`` doesn't affect a 2D array, while
1121 ``np.einsum('ji', a)`` takes its transpose. Additionally,
1122 ``np.einsum('ij,jk', a, b)`` returns a matrix multiplication, while,
1123 ``np.einsum('ij,jh', a, b)`` returns the transpose of the
1124 multiplication since subscript 'h' precedes subscript 'i'.
1126 In *explicit mode* the output can be directly controlled by
1127 specifying output subscript labels. This requires the
1128 identifier '->' as well as the list of output subscript labels.
1129 This feature increases the flexibility of the function since
1130 summing can be disabled or forced when required. The call
1131 ``np.einsum('i->', a)`` is like :py:func:`np.sum(a, axis=-1) <numpy.sum>`,
1132 and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)`` is like :py:func:`np.diag(a) <numpy.diag>`.
1133 The difference is that `einsum` does not allow broadcasting by default.
1134 Additionally ``np.einsum('ij,jh->ih', a, b)`` directly specifies the
1135 order of the output subscript labels and therefore returns matrix
1136 multiplication, unlike the example above in implicit mode.
1138 To enable and control broadcasting, use an ellipsis. Default
1139 NumPy-style broadcasting is done by adding an ellipsis
1140 to the left of each term, like ``np.einsum('...ii->...i', a)``.
1141 To take the trace along the first and last axes,
1142 you can do ``np.einsum('i...i', a)``, or to do a matrix-matrix
1143 product with the left-most indices instead of rightmost, one can do
1144 ``np.einsum('ij...,jk...->ik...', a, b)``.
1146 When there is only one operand, no axes are summed, and no output
1147 parameter is provided, a view into the operand is returned instead
1148 of a new array. Thus, taking the diagonal as ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
1149 produces a view (changed in version 1.10.0).
1151 `einsum` also provides an alternative way to provide the subscripts
1152 and operands as ``einsum(op0, sublist0, op1, sublist1, ..., [sublistout])``.
1153 If the output shape is not provided in this format `einsum` will be
1154 calculated in implicit mode, otherwise it will be performed explicitly.
1155 The examples below have corresponding `einsum` calls with the two
1156 parameter methods.
1158 .. versionadded:: 1.10.0
1160 Views returned from einsum are now writeable whenever the input array
1161 is writeable. For example, ``np.einsum('ijk...->kji...', a)`` will now
1162 have the same effect as :py:func:`np.swapaxes(a, 0, 2) <numpy.swapaxes>`
1163 and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)`` will return a writeable view of the diagonal
1164 of a 2D array.
1166 .. versionadded:: 1.12.0
1168 Added the ``optimize`` argument which will optimize the contraction order
1169 of an einsum expression. For a contraction with three or more operands this
1170 can greatly increase the computational efficiency at the cost of a larger
1171 memory footprint during computation.
1173 Typically a 'greedy' algorithm is applied which empirical tests have shown
1174 returns the optimal path in the majority of cases. In some cases 'optimal'
1175 will return the superlative path through a more expensive, exhaustive search.
1176 For iterative calculations it may be advisable to calculate the optimal path
1177 once and reuse that path by supplying it as an argument. An example is given
1178 below.
1180 See :py:func:`numpy.einsum_path` for more details.

1215 For higher dimensional arrays summing a single axis can be done with ellipsis:
1217 >>> np.einsum('...j->...', a)
1218 array([ 10, 35, 60, 85, 110])
1219 >>> np.einsum(a, [Ellipsis,1], [Ellipsis])
1220 array([ 10, 35, 60, 85, 110])
1222 Compute a matrix transpose, or reorder any number of axes:
1224 >>> np.einsum('ji', c)
1225 array([[0, 3],
1226 [1, 4],
1227 [2, 5]])
1228 >>> np.einsum('ij->ji', c)
1229 array([[0, 3],
1230 [1, 4],
1231 [2, 5]])
1232 >>> np.einsum(c, [1,0])
1233 array([[0, 3],
1234 [1, 4],
1235 [2, 5]])
1236 >>> np.transpose(c)
1237 array([[0, 3],
1238 [1, 4],
1239 [2, 5]])
1241 Vector inner products:
1243 >>> np.einsum('i,i', b, b)
1244 30
1245 >>> np.einsum(b, [0], b, [0])
1246 30
1247 >>> np.inner(b,b)
1248 30
1250 Matrix vector multiplication:
1252 >>> np.einsum('ij,j', a, b)
1253 array([ 30, 80, 130, 180, 230])
1254 >>> np.einsum(a, [0,1], b, [1])
1255 array([ 30, 80, 130, 180, 230])
1256 >>> np.dot(a, b)
1257 array([ 30, 80, 130, 180, 230])
1258 >>> np.einsum('...j,j', a, b)
1259 array([ 30, 80, 130, 180, 230])
1261 Broadcasting and scalar multiplication:
1263 >>> np.einsum('..., ...', 3, c)
1264 array([[ 0, 3, 6],
1265 [ 9, 12, 15]])
1266 >>> np.einsum(',ij', 3, c)
1267 array([[ 0, 3, 6],
1268 [ 9, 12, 15]])
1269 >>> np.einsum(3, [Ellipsis], c, [Ellipsis])
1270 array([[ 0, 3, 6],
1271 [ 9, 12, 15]])
1272 >>> np.multiply(3, c)
1273 array([[ 0, 3, 6],
1274 [ 9, 12, 15]])
1276 Vector outer product:
1278 >>> np.einsum('i,j', np.arange(2)+1, b)
1279 array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
1280 [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]])
1281 >>> np.einsum(np.arange(2)+1, [0], b, [1])
1282 array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
1283 [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]])
1284 >>> np.outer(np.arange(2)+1, b)
1285 array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
1286 [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]])
1288 Tensor contraction:
1290 >>> a = np.arange(60.).reshape(3,4,5)
1291 >>> b = np.arange(24.).reshape(4,3,2)
1292 >>> np.einsum('ijk,jil->kl', a, b)
1293 array([[4400., 4730.],
1294 [4532., 4874.],
1295 [4664., 5018.],
1296 [4796., 5162.],

1311 Writeable returned arrays (since version 1.10.0):
1313 >>> a = np.zeros((3, 3))
1314 >>> np.einsum('ii->i', a)[:] = 1
1315 >>> a
1316 array([[1., 0., 0.],
1317 [0., 1., 0.],
1318 [0., 0., 1.]])
1320 Example of ellipsis use:
1322 >>> a = np.arange(6).reshape((3,2))
1323 >>> b = np.arange(12).reshape((4,3))
1324 >>> np.einsum('ki,jk->ij', a, b)
1325 array([[10, 28, 46, 64],
1326 [13, 40, 67, 94]])
1327 >>> np.einsum('ki,...k->i...', a, b)
1328 array([[10, 28, 46, 64],
1329 [13, 40, 67, 94]])
1330 >>> np.einsum('k...,jk', a, b)
1331 array([[10, 28, 46, 64],
1332 [13, 40, 67, 94]])
1334 Chained array operations. For more complicated contractions, speed ups
1335 might be achieved by repeatedly computing a 'greedy' path or pre-computing the
1336 'optimal' path and repeatedly applying it, using an
1337 `einsum_path` insertion (since version 1.12.0). Performance improvements can be
1338 particularly significant with larger arrays:
1340 >>> a = np.ones(64).reshape(2,4,8)
1342 Basic `einsum`: ~1520ms (benchmarked on 3.1GHz Intel i5.)
1344 >>> for iteration in range(500):
1345 ... _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a)
1347 Sub-optimal `einsum` (due to repeated path calculation time): ~330ms
1349 >>> for iteration in range(500):
1350 ... _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize='optimal')
1352 Greedy `einsum` (faster optimal path approximation): ~160ms
1354 >>> for iteration in range(500):
1355 ... _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize='greedy')
1357 Optimal `einsum` (best usage pattern in some use cases): ~110ms
1359 >>> path = np.einsum_path('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize='optimal')[0]
1360 >>> for iteration in range(500):
1361 ... _ = np.einsum('ijk,ilm,njm,nlk,abc->',a,a,a,a,a, optimize=path)
