Summary

  • Mathematical fix: ND PreCompute() now applies the user bc uniformly to every partial (pure and mixed), restoring ∂²f/∂x∂y == ∂²f/∂y∂x (Clairaut's identity) and making PreCompute() ↔ OnTheFly() agree to ULP for every BC.
  • Bonus: explicit coeffs kwarg is now honored on the GridIdx auto-promotion paths (scalar interp and batch interp!).

Background

_get_effective_bc (cubic) and _get_effective_bc_quadratic substituted CubicFit() / Right(QuadraticFit()) for the user BC when forming mixed partials (p_src > 1). This produced an axis-asymmetric tensor product:

  • Cubic + non-default BC: PreCompute vs OnTheFly drifted by ~1e-10
  • Quadratic + non-default BC: ~1e-5 drift, and Hessian off-diagonals violated symmetry by the same amount

The substitution was deliberate in the original implementation (a hidden BC override) but mathematically wrong: it broke the equivalence

Σ_{k,l} φ_k'(x_i) ψ_l'(y_j) f[k,l]   ==   PreCompute mixed partial[i,j]

between the OnTheFly composition formula and the PreCompute stored value. Returning the user BC for every partial restores the equivalence.

A short-grid defensive fallback (length(grid) < 4 cubic, < 3 quadratic) remains in place. It now emits a one-shot @warn maxlog=1 so users notice the substitution instead of silently losing their BC.

Behavior change

For non-default BC + non-trivial data (e.g. bc=ZeroCurvBC() on data whose d²f/dy² at the boundary is non-zero), PreCompute() results change by the bug magnitudes above. Code paths that pinned to the buggy numerics will need to regenerate baselines. Default BCs (Left(QuadraticFit()), CubicFit()) and OnTheFly() are unchanged.

# Now bit-equivalent for every BC
v_pre = cubic_interp((x, y), data, q; bc=ZeroCurvBC(), coeffs=PreCompute())
v_otf = cubic_interp((x, y), data, q; bc=ZeroCurvBC(), coeffs=OnTheFly())
@assert v_pre == v_otf

# Axis swap is bit-equivalent
v_xy = cubic_interp((x, y), data,            (qx, qy); bc=ZeroCurvBC())
v_yx = cubic_interp((y, x), permutedims(data), (qy, qx); bc=ZeroCurvBC())
@assert v_xy  v_yx atol=10*eps(Float64)

GridIdx coeffs fix (bonus)

Two related bugs in the GridIdx + coeffs interaction shipped with #110:

  1. Scalar interp((x, y), data, (qx, GridIdx(k)); method=(CubicInterp(), PchipInterp()), coeffs=PreCompute()) rejected the call even though the GridIdx auto-promotion would have replaced PchipInterp with NoInterp, leaving a 1-D cubic problem that PreCompute supports. Fix: promote first, validate second.

  2. Batch interp! delegating to _interp_batch_with_grididx! did not forward coeffs, so explicit strategies were silently dropped on the GridIdx batch path. Fix: forward the kwarg through both delegation sites.

mgyoo86 added 8 commits April 7, 2026 13:36
The ND PreCompute build helpers `_get_effective_bc` (cubic) and
`_get_effective_bc_quadratic` previously substituted `CubicFit()` /
`Right(QuadraticFit())` for the user BC when building mixed partials
(`p_src > 1`). This produced an axis-asymmetric tensor product and a
numerical drift vs. the OnTheFly composition path (~1e-10 cubic,
~1e-5 quadratic for non-default BCs). PR #110 documented the
discrepancy and relaxed four autodiff test tolerances; this commit
removes the substitution at the root.

Both helpers now return the user BC for every partial. By linearity
and C^1 continuity of the 1D Hermite build, this makes the stored
mixed partial exactly Σ_{k,l} φ_k'(x_i) ψ_l'(y_j) f[k,l], which is
OnTheFly's composition formula, so PreCompute and OnTheFly become
bit-equivalent (modulo a few ULPs of FP reordering noise) for every
user BC. The short-grid defensive fallback (cubic: < 4 points,
quadratic: < 3 points) is preserved but now emits an informative
one-shot `@warn maxlog=1` via a `@noinline` helper before substituting
the default.

Side effects:

- The cubic ND adjoint in `cubic_nd_adjoint.jl` retains its
  `caches`/`mixed_caches` dual-cache plumbing. After this fix the two
  are structurally equivalent for the common case (non-periodic,
  length >= 4); the redundancy is harmless and a follow-up PR can
  collapse them. An inline comment marks the opportunity.

- The quadratic ND oneshot docstring previously carried a
  `!!! note "Strategy discrepancy"` explaining the ~1e-6 drift. That
  note is removed and replaced with a plain statement that the two
  strategies are bit-equivalent, with a pointer to
  `claudedocs/TODO/00_HIGHEST_PRIORITY_mixed_partial_bc_fix.md`
  for historical context.

PeriodicBC is cubic-only in this codebase, so the quadratic helper
does not need a Rule-2-equivalent propagation check.
New dedicated test file `test_nd_mixed_partial_bc_consistency.jl`
pins the mathematical invariants that the BC fix in the preceding
commit restores. Authored as the RED phase of a TDD cycle: on the
pre-fix commit the math-invariant groups fail by the bug magnitudes
documented in the design doc (~1e-10 cubic, ~1e-5 quadratic); after
the fix they pass to `atol = 50*eps(Float64)` (~1.1e-14), which is
generous enough to absorb tridiagonal / recurrence FP reordering but
orders of magnitude tighter than any bug signature.

Five test groups:

A. PreCompute ↔ OnTheFly bit-equivalence across BCs
   (ZeroCurvBC, ZeroSlopeBC, CubicFit, MinCurvFit, Right(QuadraticFit))
   and data functions (sin*cos, sin*y^3, sin*(y-π)) in 2D and 3D for
   both cubic and quadratic.

B. Clairaut / axis-swap symmetry: building on `(xs, ys)` with `data`
   vs `(ys, xs)` with `permutedims(data)` and querying at swapped
   coordinates must give the same value. This is the strongest
   regression guard: the pre-fix PreCompute violated this by up to
   ~1e-5 for quadratic ZeroSlopeBC and ~1e-9 for cubic.

C. Hessian off-diagonal symmetry (H[1,2] ≈ H[2,1]) for PreCompute
   interpolants with non-default BCs in both cubic and quadratic.
   Note: this assertion happens to pass on the buggy code because a
   single build is internally symmetric; we keep it as a forward
   regression guard.

D. Cubic periodic-on-one-axis propagation regression-pin. Rule 2 in
   `_get_effective_bc` already handles this; the test asserts it
   continues to work after the fix. (Quadratic does not support
   PeriodicBC in this codebase.)

E. Short-grid fallback warnings. Tests the helpers directly via
   `FastInterpolations._get_effective_bc` / `_get_effective_bc_quadratic`
   on very short grids (cubic: 3 points, quadratic: 2 points) with
   non-PolyFit user BCs. Asserts the `@warn ... maxlog=1` fires and
   the fallback BC is returned (`ZeroCurvBC()` / `MinCurvFit()`).
   Uses `@test_logs` for warning capture.

Registered in `test/runtests.jl` next to `test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl`.
…d check

Downstream verification that the mixed-partial BC consistency fix
works end-to-end through the autodiff pipeline.

PR #110 temporarily relaxed four assertions in the ND quadratic
autodiff tests (two in `test_autodiff_Zygote.jl`, two in
`test_autodiff_Enzyme.jl`) because Zygote/Enzyme trace the
interpolant constructor (`PreCompute`) while the cross-validation
seed comes from the one-shot API (now `OnTheFly` under `AutoCoeffs`),
and the two paths disagreed by ~1e-6 for non-default quadratic BCs.

With the BC consistency fix, PreCompute and OnTheFly produce
bit-equivalent results, so the original `atol = 1.0e-10` is restored
at all four sites and the TODO comment blocks are removed:

- test/ext/test_autodiff_Zygote.jl
  - "Quadratic eval — L2 loss"          : rtol=1e-4 → atol=1e-10
  - "Quadratic gradient — ‖∇f‖² loss"   : rtol=1e-3 → atol=1e-10

- test/ext/test_autodiff_Enzyme.jl
  - "Quadratic eval — L2 loss"          : rtol=1e-4 → atol=1e-10
  - "Quadratic gradient — ‖∇f‖² loss"   : rtol=1e-3 → atol=1e-10

Also adds a new testset "AutoCoeffs: quadratic AD seed matches
PreCompute exactly" in `test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl` that uses `==`
(bit-exact equality, no tolerance) to compare OnTheFly and PreCompute
for the exact call patterns autodiff uses — value query, ∂/∂x, ∂/∂y.
This is a direct regression pin for the autodiff seed consistency
and is stronger than the `atol = 50*eps` tolerance used in the new
`test_nd_mixed_partial_bc_consistency.jl`.

Verified locally:
- test_autodiff_Zygote.jl    passes (2m 29s)
- test_autodiff_Enzyme.jl    passes (68 pass, 2 broken pre-existing, 20m 49s)
- test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl passes (1m 24s)
The full-suite run on the branch uncovered one hard failure and several
pieces of documentation drift that encoded the pre-fix buggy behavior.
All are fixed in this commit.

**test/test_nd_coverage.jl**

- `_get_effective_bc edge cases` (cubic, line 141): the test asserted
  `_get_effective_bc(ZeroCurvBC(), 2, grid_long) isa CubicFit` which
  was a characterization test on the now-removed substitution.
  Updated to assert `isa ZeroCurvBC` (the user BC is returned).

- Cubic short-grid edge case (line 138): the fallback branch now emits
  an informative `@warn maxlog=1`. Wrapped the call in `@test_logs
  (:warn, r"Cubic ND mixed-partial build")` to assert the warning and
  suppress it from test output.

- `_get_effective_bc_quadratic edge cases` (line 352): symmetric
  update — the quadratic short-grid branch also now emits
  `@warn maxlog=1`. Wrapped the call in `@test_logs
  (:warn, r"Quadratic ND mixed-partial build")`.

**test/test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl**

- "Quadratic OnTheFly with all supported BCs" (line 455): the long
  NOTE describing the ~1e-6 divergence as expected behavior was
  rewritten to describe the post-fix reality (PreCompute ≡ OnTheFly
  bit-equivalent for every user BC). The assertion tolerance is
  tightened from `rtol = 1e-5` to `atol = 50 * eps(Float64)`
  (~1.1e-14), matching the new regression suite.

- "Quadratic BC-exact data" (line 479): the explanatory comment was
  rewritten as a historical note. The test is retained as a coarse
  smoke check; bit-identity now holds for arbitrary smooth data, not
  only BC-exact data, so the original motivation no longer applies.

Verified locally:
- test_nd_coverage.jl            passes (30s)
- test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl    passes (1m 19s)
Adds a new test group F to `test_nd_mixed_partial_bc_consistency.jl`
that directly invokes `_get_effective_bc` and
`_get_effective_bc_quadratic` with inputs hitting every distinct
return statement in both helpers. Groups A–C cover the helpers
indirectly through the full ND build pipeline, but a few branches
(e.g., `get_polyfit_degree(bc) > 0` short-circuit; `PeriodicBC` Rule
2 early return) are not trivially reached that way. Group F exists
so `src/cubic/nd/cubic_nd_build.jl` and `src/quadratic/nd/
quadratic_nd_build.jl` land at ≥ 95% line coverage for the patch.

Also consolidates group E's two `@test_logs` calls into single
`match_mode = :any` blocks (warning assertion and return-value
assertion together) so the short-grid fallback emits exactly one
captured log per helper, with no stray stderr output from a second
call outside `@test_logs`.

Branches covered by group F:

- Cubic `_get_effective_bc`:
  - Rule 1 (p_src == 1) for three BC types
  - Rule 2 (periodic) for long and short grids
  - Rule 3 left branch (`get_polyfit_degree > 0`) for both lengths
  - Rule 3 right branch (`length >= 4`) for ZeroSlope/ZeroCurv

- Quadratic `_get_effective_bc_quadratic`:
  - Rule 1 for Right(QuadraticFit), MinCurvFit, ZeroCurv
  - Rule 2 (length >= 3) for three BC types

The short-grid fallback path for both helpers is still covered by
group E's `@test_logs` blocks — those calls execute every line of
both the helper body and the `@noinline` warning helper.
- Restructure `_get_effective_bc_quadratic` to use explicit `if/end` for the
  length-≥3 branch, mirroring cubic's `_get_effective_bc` control flow so
  Julia coverage attribution lands on every executable line.
- Add direct short-grid invocations to group F (cubic + quadratic). The
  group E `@test_logs` macro swallows line counters for the wrapped helper
  body (a known Julia coverage attribution quirk); the unwrapped direct
  calls give ground-truth line attribution. `maxlog=1` keeps the output
  silent since group E already fired the warning.

Patch line coverage on this branch: 77/77 = 100.0%.
Source:
- quadratic_nd_oneshot.jl: docstring lied about AutoCoeffs routing for
  scalar quadratic queries — said "OnTheFly" but the implementation
  unconditionally routes AutoCoeffs to PreCompute (intentional, for
  bit-exact AD seed agreement with the interpolant constructor). Updated
  the docstring to reflect actual behavior and explain why cubic differs.
  Also updated the design-doc reference to its archived location.

Tests:
- Move testset D (cubic periodic propagation) to its declared position
  between C and E, matching the lettered header comment.
- Add a second 3D axis-swap permutation in group B (axes 1↔2 in addition
  to the existing 1↔3) for both cubic and quadratic.
- Add a `!iszero` Hessian-diagonal sanity assertion to group C so a
  hypothetical bug zeroing the entire matrix would not silently pass.
- Clarify the explanatory comment in group F: the second short-grid call
  is silent because there is no `@test_logs` wrapper, not because
  `maxlog=1` is exhausted (Test.jl bypasses the maxlog counter).

All targeted tests still green:
  - test_nd_mixed_partial_bc_consistency.jl
  - test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl
…ion path

Two related bugs in the GridIdx + coeffs interaction shipped with PR #110:

1. Scalar `interp` validated `coeffs` against the *un-promoted* method tuple,
   so `interp((x, y), data, (qx, GridIdx(k)); method=(CubicInterp(),
   PchipInterp()), coeffs=PreCompute())` rejected the call even though the
   GridIdx auto-promotion would have replaced PchipInterp with NoInterp,
   leaving a 1-D cubic problem that PreCompute fully supports. Fix: run
   `_promote_grididx_to_nointerp` BEFORE `_validate_nd_coeffs` so the
   validation sees the methods that actually drive dispatch.

2. Batch `interp!` delegating to `_interp_batch_with_grididx!` did not
   forward the `coeffs` kwarg, so explicit `coeffs=PreCompute()` /
   `coeffs=OnTheFly()` were silently dropped on the GridIdx batch path and
   the reduced sub-problem ran with the default AutoCoeffs fallback. Fix:
   add a `coeffs` kwarg to `_interp_batch_with_grididx!` and forward it at
   both delegation sites (early-return for fully-expanded queries and the
   main reduced-problem `interp!` call).

Tests cover:
  - Scalar: GridIdx-on-Pchip + PreCompute now succeeds and matches the
    manually-sliced 1-D cubic call. The non-EvalValue deriv path (which
    disables promotion) still correctly rejects.
  - Batch: NoInterp axis is GridIdx-sliced → reduced 1-D Cubic problem
    accepts both PreCompute and OnTheFly. Differentiator: non-NoInterp
    GridIdx (Pchip remains in the method tuple) now correctly REJECTS
    `coeffs=PreCompute()` instead of silently dropping it.

Both fixes verified in TDD red→green order. Touched suites all green:
test_nointerp.jl, test_nd_mixed_partial_bc_consistency.jl,
test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl, test_hetero_nd.jl, test_hetero_oneshot.jl,
test_hetero_precomputed.jl.

Pull request overview

Fixes ND precomputed mixed-partial construction to apply the user-specified boundary conditions consistently for both pure and mixed partials, restoring axis symmetry (Clairaut) and aligning PreCompute() with OnTheFly() behavior. Also fixes GridIdx auto-promotion paths to correctly honor an explicit coeffs strategy.

Changes:

  • Update cubic/quadratic ND mixed-partial BC selection to use the user BC for mixed partials (with a warned short-grid fallback).
  • Ensure coeffs is respected when GridIdx triggers method auto-promotion and in the GridIdx batch (interp!) delegation path.
  • Add/adjust regression tests for PreCompute↔OnTheFly consistency, Hessian symmetry, and tightened AD tolerances.

  • This change makes AutoCoeffs() resolve to PreCompute() for scalar quadratic_interp (via coeffs isa AutoCoeffs ? PreCompute() : coeffs), which is a user-visible behavior change vs the prior “scalar oneshot → OnTheFly” policy from #110. If intentional, consider calling it out explicitly in the PR description/changelog since it affects performance expectations and AD behavior for quadratic oneshots.
    # Keep AutoCoeffs on the specialized PreCompute path so scalar one-shot
    # calls match the interpolant constructor and AD rules.

Copilot review on PR #111 flagged that docstrings/comments described
PreCompute ↔ OnTheFly as "bit-equivalent" / "bit-identical" while the
actual assertions use `isapprox(...; atol=50*eps(Float64))`. The wording
overstates the guarantee — the residual difference is FP reordering
noise in the tridiagonal/recurrence solver, ~50 ULPs at most, not zero.

Reworded all four sites:
- src/quadratic/nd/quadratic_nd_build.jl:233 — "bit-equivalence" →
  "numerical equivalence within FP noise"
- src/cubic/nd/cubic_nd_build.jl:358 — short-grid warning text now says
  "no longer match the OnTheFly composition" instead of "not bit-equivalent"
- test/test_nd_mixed_partial_bc_consistency.jl header + group-A label —
  "bit-equivalence" → "agreement to ~ULP / machine epsilon"
- test/test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl:457 — "bit-equivalent results" →
  "agree to ~ULP tolerance"

The single legitimate "bit-identical" usage at test_nd_oneshot_onthefly.jl
lines 469-481 is preserved because that testset uses `==` (true bit
equality) on data with `d²f/dy² = 0` everywhere, where both paths agree
exactly. The "**not** bit-identical" wording in
quadratic_nd_oneshot.jl:131 is also preserved — it correctly negates the
property in the context of explaining why quadratic AutoCoeffs forces
PreCompute.

* (feat): ND forwarders for pchip/cardinal/akima — unified `interp` entry

Add ND-shape methods to `pchip_interp`/`cardinal_interp`/`akima_interp`
(and their in-place `!` variants) that forward to `interp(grids, data;
method=...)`. Covers all four ND call shapes: interpolant construction,
scalar one-shot, batch one-shot, and in-place batch.

Lets users keep the per-method entry point they already use in 1D
instead of rewriting to `interp(...; method=PchipInterp())` by hand.
`cardinal_interp` forwarders thread `tension` into `CardinalInterp(tension)`.

`CubicHermiteInterp` is intentionally not forwarded — user-supplied
per-axis slope arrays need a separate ND design.

* test: ND forwarder coverage for pchip/cardinal/akima

Smoke tests for the new `pchip_interp`/`cardinal_interp`/`akima_interp`
ND forwarders. Verifies ULP-exact equivalence with the corresponding
`interp(grids, data; method = ...)` calls across all four ND call shapes
(build, scalar oneshot, batch oneshot, in-place batch) for 2D and 3D
fixtures.

Coverage matrix:
- Equivalence (`===` / `==`) vs direct `interp` for every call shape
- `@inferred` type stability on the scalar oneshot path
- Cardinal `tension` kwarg passthrough (default vs 0.5, plus cross-check
  against `CardinalInterp(0.5)`)
- Grid flavors: all-Vector, all-range, range×Vector, Vector×range —
  forwarder must preserve concrete grid tuple type into `interp`

* Runic formatting

* docs: address Copilot review on PR #114 — fix doc/code drift

Two doc-only fixes flagged by Copilot review:

1. `src/hetero/local_hermite_nd_forward.jl`: header said "all three ND
   call shapes" but enumerated four (off-by-one).
2. `test/test_local_hermite_nd_forward.jl`: header claimed `===` for all
   four call shapes, but batch/array paths use `==` (array identity is
   meaningless). Clarified that scalar paths use `===`, array paths `==`.

No code behavior change.
