How to use Gradient Descent to solve this multiple terms trigonometry function?

Question is like this:
f(x) = A sin(2π * L * x) + B cos(2π * M * x) + C sin(2π * N * x)
and L,M,N are constants integer, 0 <= L,M,N <= 100
and A,B,C can be any possible integers.
Here is the given data:

How to use Gradient Descent to solve this multiple terms trigonometry function?

Gradient descent is not well suited for optimisation over integers. You can try a navie relaxation where you solve in floats, and hope the rounded solution is still ok.

Since the problem will have a lot of local minima, you might need to run it multiple times.

It's quite hard to use gradient descent to find a solution to this problem, because it tends to get stuck when changing the L, M, or N parameters. The gradients for those can push it away from the right solution, unless it is very close to an optimal solution already.
There are ways to get around this, such as basinhopping or random search, but because of the function you're trying to learn, you have a better alternative.
Since you're trying to learn a sinusoid function, you can use an FFT to find the frequencies of the sine waves. Once you have those frequencies, you can find the amplitudes and phases used to generate the same sine wave.
Pardon the messiness of this code, this is my first time using an FFT.

# Take discrete FFT of y
spectral = scipy.fft.fft(y)
freq = scipy.fft.fftfreq(y.shape[0], d=dt)
# Cut off top half of frequencies. Assumes input signal is real, and not complex.
spectral = spectral[:int(spectral.shape[0] / 2)]
# Double amplitudes to correct for cutting off top half.

print(get_top_frequencies(x, y, 3))
That produces this function:
def func(x):
return (
5.00 * math.cos(2 * math.pi * 10.00 * x + math.pi * 0.50) +
4.00 * math.cos(2 * math.pi * 5.00 * x + math.pi * -0.00) +
2.00 * math.cos(2 * math.pi * 3.00 * x + math.pi * -0.50)
)
Which is not quite the format you specified - you asked for two sins and one cos, and for no phase parameter. However, using the trigonometric identity cos(x) = sin(pi/2 - x), you can convert this into an equivalent expression that matches what you want:
def func(x):
return (
5.00 * math.sin(2 * math.pi * -10.00 * x) +
4.00 * math.cos(2 * math.pi * 5.00 * x) +
2.00 * math.sin(2 * math.pi * 3.00 * x)
)
And there's the original function!

Approximating sin using the Taylor series

I'm trying to calculate sin(x) using Taylor series without using factorials.
import math, time
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
def sin3(x, i=30):
x %= 2 * math.pi
n = 0
dn = x**2 / 2
for c in range(4, 2 * i + 4, 2):
n += dn
dn *= -x**2 / ((c + 1) * (c + 2))
return x - n
def draw_graph(start = -800, end = 800):
y = [sin3(i/100) for i in range(start, end)]
x = [i/100 for i in range(start, end)]
y2 = [math.sin(i/100) for i in range(start, end)]
x2 = [i/100 for i in range(start, end)]
plot.fill_between(x, y, facecolor="none", edgecolor="red", lw=0.7)
plot.fill_between(x2, y2, facecolor="none", edgecolor="blue", lw=0.7)
plot.show()
When you run the draw_graph function it uses matplotlib to draw a graph, the redline is the output from my sin3 function, and the blue line is the correct output from the math.sin method.
As you can see the curve is not quite right, it's not high or low enough (seems to peak at 0.5), and also has strange behavior where it generates a small peak around 0.25 then drops down again. How can I adjust my function to match the correct output of math.sin?

You have the wrong equation for sin(x), and you also have a messed up loop invariant.
The formula for sin(x) is x/1! - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7!..., so I really don't know why you're initializing dn to something involving x^2.
You also want to ask yourself: What is my loop invariant? What is the value of dn when I reach the start of my loop. It is clear from the way you update dn that you expect it to be something involving x^i / i!. Yet on the very first iteration of the loop, i=4, yet dn involves x^2.
Here is what you meant to write:
def sin3(x, i=30):
x %= 2 * math.pi
n = 0
dn = x
for c in range(1, 2 * i + 4, 2):
n += dn
dn *= -x**2 / ((c + 1) * (c + 2))
return n

Filling points in a grid - Forward Euler algorithm - wrong output

I will very briefly try to explain what I'm doing to those who are less experienced with mathematics, it's really quite simple.
We are trying to fill a grid, as follows:
We find the orange point, U(j,n+1), using three points in a row below it, U(j-1,n), U(j,n), U(j,n+1)
Where the value of U in the entire bottom row is given, and is periodic. So theoretically we can fill this entire grid.
The formula for calculating the orange point is:
U(j,n+1) = U(j,n) + (delta_t / (2 * delta_x)) * (U(j+1,n) - U(j-1,n))
We can write it easily as a system of linear equations as follows:
And now we just repeat this process of multiplying by this matrix (iterating through the time variable) as much as we want. That's a simple way to numerically approximate a solution to a partial differential equation.
I wrote a code that does this, and then I compare my final row, to the known solution of the differential equation.
This is the code
import math
import numpy
def f(x):
return math.cos(2 * math.pi * x)
def solution(x, t):
return math.cos(2 * math.pi * (x + t))
# setting everything up
N = 16
Lambda = 10 ** (-20)
Delta_x = 1/(N+1)
Delta_t = Lambda * Delta_x * Delta_x
t_f = 5
v_0 = numpy.zeros((N, 1))
# Filling first row, initial condition was given
for i in range(N):
v_0[i, 0] = f(i * Delta_x)
# Create coefficient matrix
M = numpy.zeros((N, N))
for i in range(N):
M[i, i - 1] = -Delta_t / (2 * Delta_x)
M[i, i] = 1
M[i, (i + 1) % N] = Delta_t / (2 * Delta_x)
# start iterating through time
v_i = v_0
for i in range(math.floor(t_f / Delta_t) - 1):
v_i = numpy.dot(M, v_i)
v_final = v_i
if (Delta_t * math.ceil(t_f / Delta_t) != t_f): #we don't reach t_f exactly using Delta_t
v_final = (1/2) * (v_i + numpy.dot(M, v_i))
u = numpy.zeros(v_final.shape)
for i in range(N):
u[i, 0] = solution(i * Delta_x, t_f)
for x in range(v_final.shape[0]):
print (v_final[x], u[x])
theoretically speaking, I should be able to find lambda small enough such that v_final and the known solution, u, will be very similar.
But I can't. No matter how small I make lambda, how finde I make the grid, I seem to converge to something incorrect. They aren't close.
I can't for the life of me figure out the problem.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

You should have Delta_x = 1.0/N, as you divide the interval into N cells.
You get N+1 points on the grid from u[0] to u[N], but as per boundary condition u[N]=u[0], there you also only use an array of length N to hold all the node values.
Per your given formulas you have gamma = dt/(2*dx), thus the reverse computation should be dt = gamma*2*dx or in your variable names
Delta_t = Lambda * 2 * Delta_x
Or you are aiming at the error of the method which is O(dt, dx²) so that it would make sense to have dt = c*dx^2, but not with a ridiculous factor like of c=1e-20, if you want the time discretization error small against the space discretization error, c=0.1 or c=0.01 should be sufficient.
import numpy as np
def f(x):
return np.cos(2 * np.pi * x)
def solution(x, t):
return f(x + t)
# setting everything up
N_x = 16
Lambda = 1e-2
Delta_x = 1./N_x
Delta_t = Lambda * Delta_x * Delta_x
t_f = 5
N_t = int(t_f/Delta_t+0.5); t_f = N_t*Delta_t
# Filling first row, initial condition was given
x = np.arange(0,N_x,1) * Delta_x
v_0 = f(x)
# Create coefficient matrix
M = np.zeros((N_x, N_x))
for i in range(N_x):
M[i, i - 1] = -Delta_t / (2 * Delta_x)
M[i, i] = 1
M[i, (i + 1) % N_x] = Delta_t / (2 * Delta_x)
# start iterating through time
v_i = v_0[:]
for i in range(N_t):
v_i = np.dot(M, v_i)
v_final = v_i
u = solution(x, t_f)
for vx, ux in zip(v_final, u):
print (vx, ux)
The Euler method is also not the most precise method, the expected error is in the range exp(L*t_f)*dx^2 = e^5/N_x^2=0.58 for N_x=16 where L=1 was taken as approximate Lipschitz constant. Now if you increase to N_x=50 this error estimate reduces to 0.06 which is also visible in the results.
The t exact solution of the x discretized problem is cos(2*pi*(x+c*t)) where c=sin(2*pi*dx)/(2*pi*dx). If you compare against that formula, the errors should be really small of size O(dt).

Is there a faster way of repeating a chunk of code x times and taking an average?

Starting with:
a,b=np.ogrid[0:n+1:1,0:n+1:1]
B=np.exp(1j*(np.pi/3)*np.abs(a-b))
B[z,b] = np.exp(1j * (np.pi/3) * np.abs(z - b +x))
B[a,z] = np.exp(1j * (np.pi/3) * np.abs(a - z +x))
B[diag,diag]=1-1j/np.sqrt(3)
this produces an n*n grid that acts as a matrix.
n is just a number chosen to represent the indices, i.e. an a*b matrix where a and b both go up to n.
Where z is a constant I choose to replace a row and column with the B[z,b] and B[a,z] formulas. (Essentially the same formula but with a small number added to the np.abs(a-b))
The diagonal of the matrix is given by the bottom line:
B[diag,diag]=1-1j/np.sqrt(3)
where,
diag=np.arange(n+1)
I would like to repeat this code 50 times where the only thing that changes is x so I will end up with 50 versions of the B np.ogrid. x is a randomly generated number between -0.8 and 0.8 each time.
x=np.random.uniform(-0.8,0.8)
I want to generate 50 versions of B with random values of x each time and take a geometric average of the 50 versions of B using the definition:
def geo_mean(y):
y = np.asarray(y)
return np.prod(y ** (1.0 / y.shape[0]), axis=-1)
I have tried to set B as a function of some index and then use a for _ in range(): loop, this doesn't work. Aside from copy and pasting the block 50 times and denoting each one as B1, B2, B3 etc; I can't think of another way of working this out.
EDIT:
I'm now using part of a given solution in order to show clearly what I am looking for:
#A matrix with 50 random values between -0.8 and 0.8 to be used in the loop
X=np.random.uniform(-0.8,0.8, (50,1))
#constructing the base array before modification by random x values in position z
a,b = np.ogrid[0:n+1:1,0:n+1:1]
B = np.exp(1j * ( np.pi / 3) * np.abs( a - b ))
B[diag,diag] = 1 - 1j / np.sqrt(3)
#list to store all modified arrays
randomarrays = []
for i in range( 0,50 ):
#copy array and modify it
Bnew = np.copy( B )
Bnew[z, b] = np.exp( 1j * ( np.pi / 3 ) * np.abs(z - b + X[i]))
Bnew[a, z] = np.exp( 1j * ( np.pi / 3 ) * np.abs(a - z + X[i]))
randomarrays.append(Bnew)
Bstack = np.dstack(randomarrays)
#calculate the geometric mean value along the axis that was the row in 2D arrays
B0 = geo_mean(Bstack)
From this example, every iteration of i uses the same value of X, I can't seem to get a way to get each new loop of i to use the next value in the matrix X. I am unsure of the ++ action in python, I know it does not work in python, I just don't know how to use the python equivalent. I want a loop to use a value of X, then the next loop to use the next value and so on and so forth so I can dstack all the matrices at the end and find a geo_mean for each element in the stacked matrices.

One pedestrian way would be to use a list comprehension or generator expression:
>>> def f(n, z, x):
... diag = np.arange(n+1)
... a,b=np.ogrid[0:n+1:1,0:n+1:1]
... B=np.exp(1j*(np.pi/3)*np.abs(a-b))
... B[z,b] = np.exp(1j * (np.pi/3) * np.abs(z - b +x))
... B[a,z] = np.exp(1j * (np.pi/3) * np.abs(a - z +x))
... B[diag,diag]=1-1j/np.sqrt(3)
... return B
...
>>> X = np.random.uniform(-0.8, 0.8, (10,))
>>> np.prod((*map(np.power, map(f, 10*(4,), 10*(2,), X), 10 * (1/10,)),), axis=0)
But in your concrete example we can do much better than that;
using the identity exp(a) x exp(b) = exp(a + b) we can convert the geometric mean after exponentiation to an arithmetic mean before exponentition. A bit of care is required because of the multivaluedness of the complex n-th root which occurs in the geometric mean. In the code below we normalize the angles occurring to range -pi, pi so as to always hit the same branch as the n-th root.
Please also note that the geo_mean function you provide is definitely wrong. It fails the basic sanity check that taking the average of copies of the same thing should return the same thing. I've provided a better version. It is still not perfect, but I think there actually is no perfect solution, because of the nonuniqueness of the complex root.
Because of this I recommend taking the average before exponentiating. As long as your random spread is less than pi this allows a well-defined averaging procedure with an average that is actually close to the samples

I think you should rely more on numpy functionality, when approaching your problem. Not a numpy expert myself, so there is surely room for improvement:
from scipy.stats import gmean
n = 2
z = 1
a = np.arange(n + 1).reshape(1, n + 1)
#constructing the base array before modification by random x values in position z
B = np.exp(1j * (np.pi / 3) * np.abs(a - a.T))
B[a, a] = 1 - 1j / np.sqrt(3)
#list to store all modified arrays
random_arrays = []
for _ in range(50):
#generate random x value
x=np.random.uniform(-0.8, 0.8)
#copy array and modify it
B_new = np.copy(B)
B_new[z, a] = np.exp(1j * (np.pi / 3) * np.abs(z - a + x))
B_new[a, z] = np.exp(1j * (np.pi / 3) * np.abs(a - z + x))
random_arrays.append(B_new)
#store all B arrays as a 3D array
B_stack = np.stack(random_arrays)
#calculate the geometric mean value along the axis that was the row in 2D arrays
geom_mean_for_rows = gmean(B_stack, axis = 2)
It uses the geometric mean function from scipy.stats module to have a vectorised approach for this calculation.

Calculate the Fourier series with the trigonometry approach

I try to implement the Fourier series function according to the following formulas:
...where...
...and...
Here is my approach to the problem:
import numpy as np
import pylab as py
# Define "x" range.
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000)
# Define "T", i.e functions' period.
T = 2
L = T / 2
# "f(x)" function definition.
def f(x):
return np.sin(np.pi * 1000 * x)
# "a" coefficient calculation.
def a(n, L, accuracy = 1000):
a, b = -L, L
dx = (b - a) / accuracy
integration = 0
for i in np.linspace(a, b, accuracy):
x = a + i * dx
integration += f(x) * np.cos((n * np.pi * x) / L)
integration *= dx
return (1 / L) * integration
# "b" coefficient calculation.
def b(n, L, accuracy = 1000):
a, b = -L, L
dx = (b - a) / accuracy
integration = 0
for i in np.linspace(a, b, accuracy):
x = a + i * dx
integration += f(x) * np.sin((n * np.pi * x) / L)
integration *= dx
return (1 / L) * integration
# Fourier series.
def Sf(x, L, n = 10):
a0 = a(0, L)
sum = 0
for i in np.arange(1, n + 1):
sum += ((a(i, L) * np.cos(n * np.pi * x)) + (b(i, L) * np.sin(n * np.pi * x)))
return (a0 / 2) + sum
# x axis.
py.plot(x, np.zeros(np.size(x)), color = 'black')
# y axis.
py.plot(np.zeros(np.size(x)), x, color = 'black')
# Original signal.
py.plot(x, f(x), linewidth = 1.5, label = 'Signal')
# Approximation signal (Fourier series coefficients).
py.plot(x, Sf(x, L), color = 'red', linewidth = 1.5, label = 'Fourier series')
# Specify x and y axes limits.
py.xlim([0, 10])
py.ylim([-2, 2])
py.legend(loc = 'upper right', fontsize = '10')
py.show()
...and here is what I get after plotting the result:
I've read the How to calculate a Fourier series in Numpy? and I've implemented this approach already. It works great, but it use the expotential method, where I want to focus on trigonometry functions and the rectangular method in case of calculating the integraions for a_{n} and b_{n} coefficients.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE (SOLVED)
Finally, here is a working example of the code. However, I'll spend more time on it, so if there is anything that can be improved, it will be done.

def f(x):
return np.sin((np.pi) * x) + np.sin((2 * np.pi) * x) + np.sin((5 * np.pi) * x)
# "a" coefficient calculation.
def a(n, L, accuracy = 1000):
a, b = -L, L
dx = (b - a) / accuracy
integration = 0
for x in np.linspace(a, b, accuracy):
integration += f(x) * np.cos((n * np.pi * x) / L)
integration *= dx
return (1 / L) * integration

def b(n, L, accuracy = 1000):

a0 = a(0, L)
sum = np.zeros(np.size(x))

return (a0 / 2) + sum

Consider developing your code in a different way, block by block. You should be surprised if a code like this would work at the first try. Debugging is one option, as #tom10 said. The other option is rapid prototyping the code step by step in the interpreter, even better with ipython.
Above, you are expecting that b_1000 is non-zero, since the input f(x) is a sinusoid with a 1000 in it. You're also expecting that all other coefficients are zero right?
Then you should focus on the function b(n, L, accuracy = 1000) only. Looking at it, 3 things are going wrong. Here are some hints.
the multiplication of dx is within the loop. Sure about that?
in the loop, i is supposed to be an integer right? Is it really an integer? by prototyping or debugging you would discover this
be careful whenever you write (1/L) or a similar expression. If you're using python2.7, you're doing likely wrong. If not, at least use a from __future__ import division at the top of your source. Read this PEP if you don't know what I am talking about.
If you address these 3 points, b() will work. Then think of a in a similar fashion.
