tidy3d.plugins.autograd.functions.smooth_max

class smooth_max

Bases:

Compute the smooth maximum of an array using temperature parameter tau.

Parameters:

• x (np.ndarray) – Input array.

• tau (float = 1.0) – Temperature parameter controlling smoothness. Larger values make the maximum smoother.

• axis (Union[int, Tuple[int, ...], None] = None) – Axis or axes over which the smooth maximum is computed. By default, the smooth maximum is computed over the entire array.

Returns:

The smooth maximum of the input array.

Return type:

np.ndarray
