time_reverse_pwc

Graph.time_reverse_pwc(pwc, *, name=None)

Reverse in time a piecewise-constant function.

Parameters:

pwc (Pwc) – The piecewise-constant function \(v(t)\) to reverse.
name (str or None, optional) – The name of the node.

Returns:

The piecewise-constant function \(w(t)\) defined by \(w(t)=v(\tau-t)\) for \(0\leq t\leq \tau\), where \(\tau\) is the duration of \(v(t)\).

Return type:

Pwc

Examples

Reverse a piecewise constant function.

>>> x = graph.pwc(durations=np.array([0.1, 0.5, 0.3]), values=np.array([1, 2, 3]))
>>> graph.time_reverse_pwc(x, name="reverse")
<Pwc: name="reverse", operation_name="time_reverse_pwc", value_shape=(), batch_shape=()>
>>> result = bo.execute_graph(graph=graph, output_node_names="reverse")
>>> result["output"]["reverse"]
{
    'durations': array([0.3, 0.5, 0.1]),
    'values': array([3., 2., 1.]),
