EKO is a Python module to solve the DGLAP equations in N-space in terms of Evolution Kernel Operators in x-space.

Installation

EKO is available via

• PyPI: : $ pip install eko
• conda-forge: : $ conda install eko

The documentation is available here:

ekore

We also provide a convenient access to the core elements of EKO: the anomalous dimensions $\gamma$ and operator matrix elements/transition matrix elements $A$.

These are collected from various references (see our documentation) and provide the current state of the art in one single place. They mostly consist of (very) complicated experessions comprising many complicated math objects.

Python

In Python you can access these elements through the ekore module installed together with the main Python library - see our documentation.
