Detailed Description

template<int DIM>
class SAMRAI::solv::NonlinearSolverStrategy< DIM >

Abstract base class defining interface between an algs::ImplicitIntegrator object and a nonlinear solver used to advance the solution in time.

The interface follows the Strategy design pattern. The methods declared in the interface are provided in a concrete solver derived from this base class.

Member Function Documentation

const tbox::Pointer< SAMRAIVectorReal< DIM, double > >

solution

)

[pure virtual]

Initialize the solver state. The vector argument represents the solution of the nonlinear system. In general, this routine must be called before the solve() routine is invoked.

Implemented in SAMRAI::solv::SNES_SAMRAIContext< DIM >, and SAMRAI::solv::KINSOL_SAMRAIContext< DIM >.

template<int DIM>

virtual int SAMRAI::solv::NonlinearSolverStrategy< DIM >::solve

(

)

[pure virtual]

Solve the nonlinear problem and return the integer code defined by the particular nonlinear solver package in use (e.g., indicating success or failure of solution process). In general, the initialize() routine must be called before this solve function.

Implemented in SAMRAI::solv::SNES_SAMRAIContext< DIM >, and SAMRAI::solv::KINSOL_SAMRAIContext< DIM >.
