Detailed Description

This is a base class for nonlinear optimisation problems which return the real-valued objective function :math:f(x), its gradient :math:`F(x) = f'(x)and its Hessian :math:J(x) = f''(x)`

Member Function Documentation

virtual void dolfin::OptimisationProblem::form ( GenericMatrix A,
GenericMatrix P,
GenericVector b,
const GenericVector x 
)
inlinevirtual

Function called by the 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 from dolfin::NonlinearProblem.

virtual void dolfin::OptimisationProblem::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 from dolfin::NonlinearProblem.
