I have a function f = dp/de
(variation in pressure as a function of variation in energy) and I would like to calculate this derivative with finite differences. I have a list for the p
values and a list for the e
values. However, the grid formed by interpolating p
with e
is not uniform.
I tried, earlier, to calculate f as follows:
f.append((p[i+1] - p[i])/(e[i+1]- e[i]))
However, I need a better refinement at least in the first points.
How can I use finite difference method for non-uniform grids in python? Basically the grid has this format below (photo)
I have a python library named uts (uneven time series) that allows one to compute the central differences for the first and second order. The code that matters is here.
