How can phase singularities be implemented in C++?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the implementation of phase singularities in C++, with initial inquiries about the specific context and application. Participants explore different interpretations of phase singularities, including their relevance in cardiology and optics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks how to implement phase singularities in C++, seeking clarification on the specific application.
  • Another participant suggests providing a specific example to better understand the request.
  • A reference to a method for detecting phase singularities in cardiac fibrillation is provided, discussing computational efficiency and algorithmic approaches.
  • Concerns are raised about the original poster's engagement, with one participant noting potential spamming of similar questions across forums.
  • A humorous remark is made about the impossibility of C++ having phase singularities without external intervention.
  • The original poster clarifies they are referring to optical phase singularities, prompting further requests for specific implementation details.
  • Another participant emphasizes the need for a concrete example to provide useful advice on C++ programming related to optical phase singularities.
  • A link to a paper is shared by the original poster, indicating a desire to implement concepts from that source.
  • One participant suggests contacting the authors of the referenced paper for insights on the software used, speculating it might be Matlab.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that clarification is needed regarding the specific application of phase singularities. There are competing interpretations of what is meant by phase singularities, with no consensus on the best approach to implementation in C++.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the original poster's intent and the specific context of phase singularities, which affects the direction of the discussion.

You need to clarify your question. Perhaps you can give a specific example of what you want to do.

Do you mean in cardiology?

A New Efficient Method for Detecting Phase Singularity in Cardiac Fibrillation
Background

The point of phase singularity (PS) is considered to represent a spiral wave core or a rotor in cardiac fibrillation. Computational efficiency is important for detection of PS in clinical electrophysiology. We developed a novel algorithm for highly efficient and robust detection of PS.

Methods

In contrast to the conventional method, which calculates PS based on the line integral of the phase around a PS point equal to ±2π (the Iyer-Gray method), the proposed algorithm (the location-centric method) looks for the phase discontinuity point at which PS actually occurs. We tested the efficiency and robustness of these two methods in a two-dimensional mathematical model of atrial fibrillation (AF), with and without remodeling of ionic currents.

BTW, it looks like he's been spamming lots of math forums with this question, and has not been responding since posting the original question. We'll see if he comes back again... :confused:
 
Perhaps we should just close this thread explaining that C++ doesn't have a heart and hence can't have any phase singularities unless the Wizard of Oz intervenes.

Just knowing that you are referring to optical phase singularities doesn't give us much to go on to give you advice on writing a C++ program to implement this stuff. What precisely are you trying to implement?
 
Why not contact the paper authors and ask about the software used. Its likely Matlab though.
