@ctlee Apologies for the very late response here - unfortunately membrane curvature doesn't have an active maintainer currently so there haven't been anyone to shephred pull requests.

We will try to get someone to review your code as soon as possible. Pinging @MDAnalysis/coredevs here in case someone might want to take on an initial review to help this process along.

Initial review, :)

You may need to investigate some changes to docs, but otherwise great start,

+            mean = mean_curvature(height_field, dx, dy)
+            gauss = gaussian_curvature(height_field, dx, dy)
+


Can also check that has 0 gaussian curvature at origin?

The 0 gaussian curvature at origin condition is implicitly checked by conditions where nx and ny are odd. If the discretization doesn't include (0, 0) then we'd have to interpolate or skip the test. I think comparison against the analytical formula at corresponding grid points should be robust and complete enough.

Parametrize over these arguments, to check that the original implementation still functions as intended.

@pytest.mark.parametrize("varargs", [, [], [dy, dx]]) `` Or if the parametrization is too complicated split into two tests.

Not sure what to do here. The original implementation is fundamentally flawed.

The test fixture universe_dummy_wrap has a specific grid spacing and system dimension. Taking derivatives with respect to the default dx, dy value (=1) is like saying:

$f'(x) = \frac{f(x+h) -f(x)}{1}$.

When the derivatives must be taken with respect to the spacing, $h$:

$f'(x) = \frac{f(x+h) -f(x)}{h}$.

To have dx, dy as parameters, the fixture would have to be changed to produce meshes with varied discretization.

Thanks @hmacdope for the initial review and @IAlibay for moving this along and fixing CI. I've added a commit to change docs to numpy style.

Please advise on what to do wrt the other requested changes.

Sounds reasonble @ctlee, I am happy to give my approval on a purely code basis, but from a scientific basis I will have to take your assertions about the correctness of the new implementation relative to the old one on trust. I will tag @ojeda-e as the principal developer as she may have a view here. I will leave my view blocking for now pending waiting for feedback. :)

ctlee · 2024-01-29T19:36:23Z

Following up on this as new versions appear to be released! Folks will get incorrect curvature values if their grid spacing isn't 1. Can verify this issue in the current implementation by comparing with the parametric surface tests added in this PR.

An alternative approach is to add a check that the dx, dy is 1 and to throw an error otherwise. @ojeda-e

Hi @ctlee
Thanks for working on this changes! I left two question below to clarify my understanding.
Would it be possible to offer an example where*varargs is illustrated? It would be a nice addition to the docs.

Hi @ctlee @hmacdope,
thanks for following up and pinging me here. Yes, I think the changes are fine. I am approving while codecov is fixed (or removed) in the CI.
