Detailed Description

Class BGaussSeidelPreconditioner is a block Gauss-Seidel preconditioner which implements the abstract LinearSolver interface.

This solver class performs a single block Gauss-Seidel sweep, applying specified component LinearSolver and LinearOperator objects to the components of a supplied SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal vector, and doing so in a multiplicative fashion. Note that the block Gauss-Seidel algorithm is not generally convergent, but can be used as a preconditioner for a KrylovLinearSolver.

Note that the default block Gauss-Seidel algorithm is not a symmetric linear operator, even if the individual component linear operators and solvers are symmetric. Instead, the algorithm applies the component preconditioners to the vector components starting with the first vector component and ending with the last vector component. The algorithm can be symmetrized via the setSymmetricPreconditioner() member function, and the order in which vector components are visited can be reversed via the setReversedOrder() member function.

Note
Class BJacobiPreconditioner implements the additive (i.e., block Jacobi) version of this algorithm.

Sample parameters for initialization from database (and their default values):

symmetric_preconditioner = FALSE   // see setSymmetricPreconditioner()
reverse_order = FALSE              // see setReversedOrder()
initial_guess_nonzero = FALSE      // see setInitialGuessNonzero()
rel_residual_tol = 1.0e-6          // see setRelativeTolerance()
abs_residual_tol = 1.0e-30         // see setAbsoluteTolerance()
max_iterations = 1                 // see setMaxIterations()

Member Function Documentation

◆ deallocateSolverState()

void IBTK::BGaussSeidelPreconditioner::deallocateSolverState ( )
overridevirtual

Remove all hierarchy dependent data allocated by initializeSolverState().

Note
It is safe to call deallocateSolverState() when the solver state is already deallocated.
See also
initializeSolverState

Reimplemented from IBTK::GeneralSolver.

◆ initializeSolverState()

void IBTK::BGaussSeidelPreconditioner::initializeSolverState ( const SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal< NDIM, double > &  x,
const SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal< NDIM, double > &  b 
)
overridevirtual

Compute hierarchy dependent data required for solving $Ax=b$.

By default, the solveSystem() method computes some required hierarchy dependent data before solving and removes that data after the solve. For multiple solves that use the same hierarchy configuration, it is more efficient to:

  1. initialize the hierarchy-dependent data required by the solver via initializeSolverState(),
  2. solve the system one or more times via solveSystem(), and
  3. remove the hierarchy-dependent data via deallocateSolverState().

Note that it is generally necessary to reinitialize the solver state when the hierarchy configuration changes.

Parameters
xsolution vector
bright-hand-side vector

Conditions on Parameters:

  • vectors x and b must have same patch hierarchy
  • vectors x and b must have same structure, depth, etc.
Note
The vector arguments for solveSystem() need not match those for initializeSolverState(). However, there must be a certain degree of similarity, including:
  • hierarchy configuration (hierarchy pointer and range of levels)
  • number, type and alignment of vector component data
  • ghost cell widths of data in the solution x and right-hand-side b vectors
Note
It is safe to call initializeSolverState() when the state is already initialized. In this case, the solver state is first deallocated and then reinitialized.

◆ solveSystem()

bool IBTK::BGaussSeidelPreconditioner::solveSystem ( SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal< NDIM, double > &  x,
SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal< NDIM, double > &  b 
)
overridevirtual

Solve the linear system of equations $Ax=b$ for $x$.

Before calling solveSystem(), the form of the solution x and right-hand-side b vectors must be set properly by the user on all patch interiors on the specified range of levels in the patch hierarchy. The user is responsible for all data management for the quantities associated with the solution and right-hand-side vectors. In particular, patch data in these vectors must be allocated prior to calling this method.

Parameters
xsolution vector
bright-hand-side vector

Conditions on Parameters:

  • vectors x and b must have same patch hierarchy
  • vectors x and b must have same structure, depth, etc.
Note
The vector arguments for solveSystem() need not match those for initializeSolverState(). However, there must be a certain degree of similarity, including:
  • hierarchy configuration (hierarchy pointer and range of levels)
  • number, type and alignment of vector component data
  • ghost cell widths of data in the solution x and right-hand-side b vectors
Note
The solver need not be initialized prior to calling solveSystem(); however, see initializeSolverState() and deallocateSolverState() for opportunities to save overhead when performing multiple consecutive solves.
See also
initializeSolverState
deallocateSolverState
Returns
true if the solver converged to the specified tolerances, false otherwise
