ldsgen::Halton class

Halton sequence generator.

The Halton class is a sequence generator that generates points in a 2-dimensional space using the Halton sequence. The Halton sequence is a low-discrepancy sequence that is commonly used in quasi-Monte Carlo methods. It is generated by iterating over two different bases and calculating the fractional parts of the numbers in those bases. The Halton class keeps track of the current count and bases, and provides a pop() method that returns the next point in the sequence as a std::array<double, 2>.

Function documentation

CONSTEXPR14 ldsgen::Halton::Halton(size_t base0, size_t base1)

Construct a new Halton object.

Parameters
base0 in
base1 in

The Halton(const size_t base0, const size_t base1) is a constructor for the Halton class. It takes two parameters base0 and base1, which are used as the bases for generating the Halton sequence. The CONSTEXPR14 keyword indicates that the constructor is constexpr, meaning it can be evaluated at compile-time if possible.

CONSTEXPR14 auto ldsgen::Halton::pop() -> std::array< double, 2 >

pop

Returns std::array<double, 2>

The pop() function is used to generate the next value in the sequence. For example, in the VdCorput class, pop() increments the count and calculates the Van der Corput sequence value for that count and base. In the Halton class, pop() returns the next point in the Halton sequence as a std::array<double, 2>. Similarly, in the Circle class, pop() returns the next point on the unit circle as a std::array<double, 2>. In the Sphere class, pop() returns the next point on the unit sphere as a std::array<double, 3>. And in the Sphere3Hopf class, pop() returns the next point on the 3-sphere using the Hopf fibration as a std::array<double, 4>.

CONSTEXPR14 auto ldsgen::Halton::reseed(size_t seed) -> void

reseed

Parameters
seed in

The reseed(size_t seed) function is used to reset the state of the sequence generator to a specific seed value. This allows the sequence generator to start generating the sequence from the beginning, or from a specific point in the sequence, depending on the value of the seed.
