Detailed Description

This is a base class for nonlinear problems which can return the nonlinear function F(u) and its Jacobian J = dF(u)/du.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void dolfin::NonlinearProblem::form	(	GenericMatrix &	A,
		GenericMatrix &	P,
		GenericVector &	b,
		const GenericVector &	x
	)

inlinevirtual

Function called by Newton solver before requesting F, J or J_pc. This can be used to compute F, J and J_pc together. Preconditioner matrix P can be left empty so that A is used instead

Reimplemented in dolfin::OptimisationProblem.

virtual void dolfin::NonlinearProblem::J_pc	(	GenericMatrix &	P,
		const GenericVector &	x
	)

inlinevirtual

Compute J_pc used to precondition J. Not implementing this or leaving P empty results in system matrix A being used to construct preconditioner.

Note that if nonempty P is not assembled on first call then a solver implementation may throw away P and not call this routine ever again.

Reimplemented in dolfin::OptimisationProblem.
