# Gradient Field Analyzer
## Model Description
The Gradient Field Analyzer is a mathematical tool designed to analyze and construct gradient fields in two dimensions. It implements analytical methods to determine whether a given vector field is a gradient field and, if so, constructs its potential function.
This model specializes in two specific cases from vector calculus:
- **Case 1**: Vector fields where one component is constant
- **Case 2**: Vector fields where both components are linear functions
- **Developed by:** Martin Rivera
- **Model type:** Mathematical Analysis Tool
- **Language(s):** Python
- **License:** MIT
- **Finetuned from model:** N/A (Original implementation)
## Uses
### Direct Use
This model is intended for:
- Educational purposes in vector calculus courses
- Scientific computing applications requiring gradient field analysis
- Research in mathematical physics and engineering
- Verification of conservative vector fields
- Construction of potential functions from gradient fields
### Downstream Use
The analysis methods can be extended to:
- Higher-dimensional gradient fields
- Numerical methods for field analysis
- Physics simulations involving conservative forces
- Engineering applications in electromagnetism and fluid dynamics
### Out-of-Scope Use
- Non-conservative vector fields (beyond verification)
- Three-dimensional or higher vector fields
- Numerical optimization without symbolic analysis
- Real-time physical simulations
## How to Use
### Installation
```bash
pip install sympy pyqt5
Basic Usage
from gradient_field_analyzer import GradientFieldFactory, NumericalExamples
# Analyze Case 1: Constant component field
case1_analyzer = GradientFieldFactory.create_constant_component_field('x')
Vx, Vy = case1_analyzer.get_vector_field()
phi = case1_analyzer.find_potential()
# Analyze Case 2: Linear component field
case2_analyzer = GradientFieldFactory.create_linear_component_field()
Vx, Vy = case2_analyzer.get_vector_field()
phi = case2_analyzer.find_potential(Vx, Vy)
PyQt5 GUI Application
from gradient_field_gui import GradientFieldApp
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = GradientFieldApp()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Mathematical Background
Gradient Fields
A vector field F = [P(x,y), Q(x,y)] is a gradient field if there exists a scalar function φ(x,y) such that:
F = ∇φ = [∂φ/∂x, ∂φ/∂y]
Case 1: One Constant Component
For fields where one component is constant:
- If P(x,y) = c (constant), then φ(x,y) = c·x + ∫Q(x,y)dy
- If Q(x,y) = c (constant), then φ(x,y) = c·y + ∫P(x,y)dx
Case 2: Both Linear Components
For linear fields F = [a₁x + b₁y + c₁, a₂x + b₂y + c₂]:
- The field is a gradient field if and only if a₂ = b₁
- Potential function takes one of two forms:
- φ(x,y) = a₁x²/2 + b₂y²/2 + c₂y + x(b₁y + c₁)
- φ(x,y) = a₂x²/2 + b₁y²/2 + c₁y + x(a₁y + c₂)
Model Architecture
The implementation follows an object-oriented design:
GradientFieldAnalyzer (ABC)
├── ConstantComponentField (Case 1)
└── LinearComponentField (Case 2)
Key components:
- Abstract base class with common functionality
- Factory pattern for creating analyzers
- Robust verification of gradient conditions
- Symbolic computation using SymPy
- GUI interface using PyQt5
Training Data
This model does not require traditional training data as it implements analytical mathematical methods. The "training" consists of:
- Mathematical proofs of gradient field conditions
- Verification against known analytical solutions
- Testing with canonical examples from vector calculus
Performance
Analytical Accuracy
- Case 1: 100% accuracy (direct integration method)
- Case 2: 100% accuracy when gradient condition satisfied

- Handles complex symbolic expressions efficiently
Limitations
- Dimensionality: Limited to 2D vector fields
- Field Types: Only handles specific cases (constant or linear components)
- Symbolic Limitations: Dependent on SymPy's integration capabilities
- Numerical Precision: Symbolic computation avoids numerical errors but may have expression complexity limits
