Julia wrapper for the libsparseir C++ library, providing high-performance sparse intermediate representation (IR) of correlation functions in many-body physics.

LibSparseIR.jl provides Julia bindings to the C++ libsparseir library, offering optimized routines for:

• Basis construction: Finite temperature basis using singular value expansion (SVE)
• Sparse sampling: Efficient sampling in imaginary time and Matsubara frequencies
• DLR transformations: Discrete Lehmann Representation for compact representation
• Augmented basis: Extended basis for vertex functions and multi-point correlations

• ✅ Statistics: Fermionic and Bosonic
• ✅ Kernels: LogisticKernel, RegularizedBoseKernel
• ✅ Basis Functions: FiniteTempBasis with SVE
• ✅ Sampling: TauSampling, MatsubaraSampling
• ✅ DLR: DiscreteLehmannRepresentation
• ✅ Augmentation: TauConst, TauLinear, MatsubaraConst
• ✅ Basis Sets: FiniteTempBasisSet for multi-Λ calculations

using LibSparseIR

# Create basis for fermionic system
β = 10.0        # Inverse temperature
ωmax = 1.0      # Frequency cutoff
ε = 1e-10       # Accuracy parameter

basis = FiniteTempBasis(Fermionic(), β, ωmax, ε)

# Sparse sampling in imaginary time
tau_sampling = TauSampling(basis)
tau_points = tau_sampling.sampling_points

# Transform between representations
coeffs = fit(tau_sampling, gtau_values)
gtau_reconstructed = evaluate(tau_sampling, coeffs)

1. Julia 1.10+
2. libsparseir C++ library built with C API support

1. Build libsparseir with C API:

   git clone https://github.com/SpM-lab/libsparseir.git
   cd libsparseir
   ./build_capi.sh

2. Clone and install LibSparseIR.jl:

   git clone https://github.com/SpM-lab/LibSparseIR.jl.git
   cd LibSparseIR.jl

3. Build the Julia package:

   julia --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); Pkg.build()'

   This generates src/C_API.jl by parsing the C headers using Clang.jl.

4. Run tests:

   julia --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'

We use ReTestItems.jl for testing with tagged test groups:

• Run all tests: julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'
• Run specific test groups:

  using Pkg
  Pkg.test(test_args=["--tags", "julia"])      # Pure Julia tests
  Pkg.test(test_args=["--tags", "wrapper"])    # C wrapper tests
  Pkg.test(test_args=["--tags", "cinterface"]) # C interface tests
