Appendix C: Discrete-Continuous Error Control Algorithm Code Examples

(离散-连续误差控制算法代码示例)

Chapter 5 of this book establishes the “Discrete-Continuous Error Control (DCEC)” system and proves that using PSWF/DPSS window functions can control the error between discrete sampling and continuous field theory to exponential precision. To make this theory operational, this appendix provides Python reference implementations of core algorithms.

These code examples cover:

KRD Threshold Calculation: Determine minimum number of samples for given error tolerance.
Hankel-HS Cross-Term Upper Bound: Calculate aliasing error introduced by multiplication operators.
DPSS Sequence Generation: Generate optimal discrete window functions.
Unified Time Scale Reconstruction: Calculate $κ (E)$ from scattering data.

C.1 KRD Threshold Calculator

This algorithm calculates the minimum Shannon number $N_{0}$ (or number of sampling points) required for a given leakage error $ε$ based on Theorem 5.2.3 of Chapter 5 and non-asymptotic upper bounds in related literature. This is used to determine minimum resource budgets in experimental design.

import numpy as np
from math import pi, log, exp, ceil

def calculate_krd_threshold(epsilon):
    """
    Calculate the minimum Shannon number N0_star required to achieve given leakage error epsilon.
    Based on formula: 1 - lambda_0 <= 10 * exp( - (N0 - 7)^2 / (pi^2 * log(50 * N0 + 25)) )
    
    Parameters:
        epsilon (float): Target error tolerance (e.g., 1e-6)
        
    Returns:
        tuple: (N0_star, c_star, NW_star)
            N0_star: Minimum Shannon number (2*T*Omega or 2*N*W)
            c_star: Corresponding time-bandwidth product (pi * N0 / 2)
            NW_star: Corresponding discrete product (N0 / 2)

        # Note: For very small n, formula may not apply, but will be automatically skipped in search loop
        if n > 7:
            numerator = (n - 7)**2

            upper_bound = 10 * exp(-numerator / denominator)

C.2 Multiplication Cross-Term (Hankel-HS Norm) Estimation

When we multiply a band-limited signal by a non-band-limited function $x (t)$ (e.g., local potential field or window modulation), spectral aliasing is introduced. This algorithm calculates the Hilbert-Schmidt upper bound of this error.

        x_signal (array): Sampled values of function x(t) on uniform lattice
        W (float): Normalized bandwidth (0 < W < 0.5)
        domain_length (float): Physical length of sampling domain

    N = len(x_signal)
    # Calculate discrete Fourier transform of x

C.3 DPSS Sequence Generator (Based on SciPy)

Generate discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSS) for constructing optimal observation windows. This is the foundation for implementing the “finite-order windowing discipline” of Chapter 5.

        ndarray: Corresponding eigenvalues (energy concentration lambda)

    dpss_seqs, ratios = windows.dpss(N, NW, K_max, return_ratios=True)
    
    return dpss_seqs, ratios
