Detailed Description

template<class Scalar>
class Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >

Base class for all nonlinear equation solvers.

Warning! This interface is highly experimental and general developers should not even consider using it in any way if there is any expectation of code stability!

ToDo: Finish documentation.

ToDo:

Add a supportsSolveCritiera(...) function that informs client if a solve criteria is supported or not.
Add a getDefaultSolveCriteria() function to return the default solve criteria. This will make it very easy to set additional parameters like the maximum number of iterations etc. in the extraParameters parameter list field.

template<class Scalar>

virtual void Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::setModel ( const RCP< const ModelEvaluator< Scalar > > & model )

pure virtual

Set the model that defines the nonlinear equations.

After the model is set, only the residual f can change between solves and not the structure of the Jacobian W. If a more significant change to *model occurs, then this function must be called again to reset the model and reinitialize.

Implemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >, and Thyra::LinearNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

template<class Scalar>

virtual RCP<const ModelEvaluator<Scalar> > Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::getModel ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the model that defines the nonlinear equations.

Implemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >, and Thyra::LinearNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

template<class Scalar>

virtual SolveStatus<Scalar> Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::solve	(	VectorBase< Scalar > *	x,
		const SolveCriteria< Scalar > *	solveCriteria = `NULL`,
		VectorBase< Scalar > *	delta = `NULL`
	)

pure virtual

Solve a set of nonlinear equations from a given starting point.

Parameters

x	[in/out] On input, `x` contains the guess for the solution of `f(x)=0` as defined by `this->getModel()` On output, `*x` will contain the best estimate of the solution.
solveCriteria	[in] If `solveCriteria!=NULL` then `*solveCriteria` will contain the criteria for the nonlinear solve.

Returns: The returned SolveStatus object gives the status of the returned solution *x.

Preconditions:

this->getModel().get()!=NULL
x->space()->isCompatible(*this->getModel()->get_x_space())==true

Implemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >, and Thyra::LinearNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

template<class Scalar >

bool Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::supportsCloning ( ) const

virtual

Return if this solver object supports cloning or not.

The default implementation returns false.

Definition at line 208 of file Thyra_NonlinearSolverBase.hpp.

template<class Scalar >

RCP< NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar > > Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::cloneNonlinearSolver ( ) const

virtual

Clone the solver algorithm if supported.

Postconditions:

[supportsCloning()==true] returnVal != Teuchos::null
[supportsCloning()==false] returnVal == Teuchos::null

Note that cloning a nonlinear solver in this case does not imply that the Jacobian state will be copied as well, shallow or deep. Instead, here cloning means to just clone the solver algorithm and it will do a showllow of the model as well if a model is set. Since the model is stateless, this is okay. Therefore, do not assume that the state of *returnValue is exactly the same as the state of *this. You have been warned!

The default implementation returns Teuchos::null which is consistent with the default implementation of supportsCloning(). If this function is overridden in a base class to support cloning, then supportsCloning() must be overridden to return true.

template<class Scalar >

RCP< const VectorBase< Scalar > > Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::get_current_x ( ) const

virtual

Return the current value of the solution x as computed in the last solve() operation if supported.

The default implementation returns return.get()==NULL.

Reimplemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

Definition at line 222 of file Thyra_NonlinearSolverBase.hpp.

template<class Scalar >

bool Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::is_W_current ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if *get_W() is current with respect to *get_current_x().

The default implementation returns false.

Reimplemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

Definition at line 228 of file Thyra_NonlinearSolverBase.hpp.

template<class Scalar >

RCP< LinearOpWithSolveBase< Scalar > > Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::get_nonconst_W ( const bool forceUpToDate = false )

virtual

Get a nonconst RCP to the Jacobian if available.

Parameters

forceUpToDate [in] If true, then the underlying W will be forced to be up to date w.r.t the current x if a Jacobian exists.

Postconditions:

[forceUpToDate==true] this->is_W_current() == true

Through this the RCP returned from this function, a client can change the W object held internally. If the object gets changed the client should call set_W_is_current(false).

The default implementation returns return.get()==NULL.

Reimplemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >, and Thyra::LinearNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

Definition at line 235 of file Thyra_NonlinearSolverBase.hpp.

template<class Scalar >

RCP< const LinearOpWithSolveBase< Scalar > > Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::get_W ( ) const

virtual

Get a const RCP to the Jacobian if available.

Through this interface the client should not change the object W.

The default implementation returns return.get()==NULL.

Reimplemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >, and Thyra::LinearNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

Definition at line 242 of file Thyra_NonlinearSolverBase.hpp.

template<class Scalar >

void Thyra::NonlinearSolverBase< Scalar >::set_W_is_current ( bool W_is_current )

virtual

Set if *get_W() is current with respect to *get_current_x().

Preconditions: this->get_W().get()!=NULL

The default implementation throwns an exception.

Reimplemented in Thyra::DampenedNewtonNonlinearSolver< Scalar >.

Definition at line 248 of file Thyra_NonlinearSolverBase.hpp.
