Detailed Description

A convergence test based on the update of the parameter component for continuation.

Consider a continuation method with parameter equation $g = 0$ (see LOCA::Continuation::ExtendedGroup). This convergence test defines convergence of the parameter equation when the following is true

$\frac{|p-p_0|}{\epsilon_r|p_0| + \epsilon_a} < \tau$

where $p$ is the current paramter value, $p_0$ is the previous parameter value, $\epsilon_r$ is the relative tolerance, $\epsilon_a$ is the absolute tolerance, and $\tau$ is an overall scale factor (typically $\tau = 1$ ).

Note that this status test deals only with the parameter component of the continuation equations. This status test should be combined with other status tests for the solution component (using NOX::StatusTest::Combo and LOCA::StatusTest::Wrapper) to build a composite status test for the entire system.

Also note that if the group returned by the getSolutionGroup() method of the solver supplied in checkStatus() is not a continuation group (i.e., not derived from LOCA::Continuation::ExtendedGroup), checkStatus() returns NOX::StatusTest::Converged. This allows the status test to be used in situations other than continuation, e.g., steady-state solves, without raising error conditions.
