◆ deallocateSolverState()

void IBTK::GeneralSolver::deallocateSolverState ( )
virtual

Remove all hierarchy dependent data allocated by initializeSolverState().

Note
Subclasses are required to be implemented so that it is safe to call deallocateSolverState() when the solver state is already deallocated.
Subclasses are required to be implemented so that when any operator objects have been registered with the solver via setOperator() or setJacobian(), they are also deallocated by deallocateSolverState().

◆ initializeSolverState()

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

Compute hierarchy dependent data required for solving $F[x]=b$.

In a typical implementation, the solveSystem() method will compute some required hierarchy dependent data before the solve, and then remove 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
Subclasses must be implemented so that the vector arguments for solveSystem() need not match those for initializeSolverState(). However, they are allowed to require 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
Subclasses are required to be implemented so that it is safe to call initializeSolverState() when the solver state is already initialized. In this case, the solver state should be first deallocated and then reinitialized.
Subclasses are required to be implemented so that when any operator objects have been registered with the solver via setOperator() or setJacobian(), they are also initialized by initializeSolverState().

◆ solveSystem()

virtual bool IBTK::GeneralSolver::solveSystem ( SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal< NDIM, double > &  x,
SAMRAI::solv::SAMRAIVectorReal< NDIM, double > &  b 
)
pure virtual

Solve the system of equations.

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
Subclasses must be implemented so that the vector arguments for solveSystem() need not match those for initializeSolverState(). However, they are allowed to require 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
Subclasses are required to be implemented so that the solver does not need to be initialized prior to calling solveSystem(); however, see initializeSolverState() and deallocateSolverState() for opportunities to save overhead when performing multiple consecutive solves.

Returns
true if the solver converged to the specified tolerances, false otherwise
