Overview

About

Maintained by Stéphane Laurent13 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Schur polynomials appear in combinatorics and zonal polynomials appear in random matrix theory. They are particular cases of Jack polynomials. This package allows to compute these polynomials and other symmetric multivariate polynomials: flagged Schur polynomials, factorial Schur polynomials, t-Schur polynomials, Hall-Littlewood polynomials, Macdonald polynomials, and modified Macdonald polynomials. In addition, it can compute the Kostka-Jack numbers, the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials, the Kostka-Macdonald polynomials, and the Hall polynomials. Mainly based on Demmel & Koev's paper (2006) doi:10.1090/S0025-5718-05-01780-1 and Macdonald's book (1995) doi:10.1093/oso/9780198534891.003.0001.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/jack/jack_6.1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "jack_6.1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (6.1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("stla/jackR")

Development version from stla/jackR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-jack

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-jack

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
