RTSG Compute Library - Implementation Summary

Project Overview

This is a production-grade Rust library providing high-performance p-adic and adelic inner product computations for the RTSG (Representation Theory Spectral Geometry) framework. The library is compiled as a C-compatible shared library (cdylib) for seamless integration with Go and other languages via FFI.

  5. P-adic Floating-Point Estimation

  6. Converts f64 to integer representation via mantissa extraction
  7. Estimates p-adic valuation through prime factorization
  8. Provides good approximation for typical floating-point values
  9. Trade-off: Accuracy vs. Simplicity without external math libraries

  10. Jacobi Eigenvalue Method

  11. Classical, stable algorithm requiring no external linear algebra

  13. Well-suited for small-to-medium matrices (<500×500)
  14. Zero external dependencies unlike LAPACK/BLAS approaches

Performance Characteristics

Operation Complexity Notes
P-adic valuation O(log n) Integer factorization
P-adic norm O(log n) Single valuation computation
P-adic inner product O(n log p) n components, log p for each
Gram matrix O(n² · dim · log p) n² inner products
Jacobi eigenvalues O(n³) Typically 10-50 iterations
Adelic product O(n · k · log p) k primes, n components

Memory Management

  • Stack allocation: All fixed-size arrays and temporary values
  • Heap allocation: Only final results returned via FFI
  • gram_matrix() returns Vec → heap allocation
  • eigenvalues() returns Vec → heap allocation
  • free_array() deallocates using Box::from_raw()
  • Zero-copy slices: Input parameters use borrowed references
  • No memory leaks: Rust ownership system guarantees cleanup

Numerical Stability

  1. Double precision: All computations in IEEE 754 f64
  2. Underflow protection: Early exit in adelic products when < 1e-300
  3. Convergence tolerance: 1e-14 for Jacobi eigenvalues
  4. NAN handling: Propagates gracefully through calculations
  5. Symmetry verification: Eigenvalue code verifies matrix symmetry
