Detailed Description

AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm: An implementation of AztecOO_StatusTest using a family of residual norms.

AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm is an implementation of AztecOO_StatusTest that allows a user to construct one of a family of residual tests for use as a status/convergence test for AztecOO. The form of the test is

\[ \frac{\|r\|}{\sigma} \le \tau \]

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::NormType
 

Select the norm type, where $ x$ is the norm argument and $ w $ is an optionally defined weighting vector.

Enumeration values:
OneNorm  Use the one-norm $\sum_{i=1}^{n}(|x_i w_i|)$.
TwoNorm  Use the two-norm $\sqrt(\sum_{i=1}^{n}((x_i w_i)^2)$.
InfNorm  Use the inf-norm $(\max_{i=1}^{n}\{|x_i w_i|\})$.

enum AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::ResType
 

Select how the residual vector is produced.

Enumeration values:
Implicit  Use the residual vector produced by the iterative solver.
Explicit  Explicitly compute the residual vector r = b - A*x using the linear problem. NOTE: If if the ResType is set to Explicit, if the SolutionUpdated argument to CheckStatus() is false, we will not be able to compute an explicit result and we will proceed with the residual implicitly defined.

enum AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::ScaleType
 

Select the scale type.

Enumeration values:
NormOfRHS  Use the norm of the right-hand-side.
NormOfInitRes  Use the initial residual vector (exlicitly computed).
None  Use unscaled residual.
UserProvided  User provides an explicit value that the norm of the residual will be divided by.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm (  const Epetra_Operator &  Operator,
const Epetra_Vector &  LHS,
const Epetra_Vector &  RHS,
double  Tolerance
) 
 

Constructor.

The constructor takes a single argument specifying the tolerance ($\tau$). If none of the form definition methods are called, we use $\|r\|_2/\|r^{(0)}\|_2 \le \tau$ as the stopping criterion, where $\|r\|_2$ uses the least costly form of the 2-norm of residual available from the iterative method and $\|r^{(0)}\|_2$ is the corresponding norm of the initial residual. The least costly form of the 2-norm depends on the chosen iterative method. Most Krylov methods produce the preconditioned residual vector in a form that would be exact in infinite precision arithmetic. This vector may be different from the true residual either because left scaling or preconditioning was used, or because round-off error has introduced significant error, or both.

Parameters:
Operator (In) The original linear operator that was passed in to the AztecOO solver object.
LHS (In) The original left hand side vector that was passed in to the AztecOO solver object. NOTE: AztecOO accepts multivector objects, but AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm does not handle residual tests for multiple vectors. Most AztecOO users tend to have Epetra_Vectors, even though they are passing them in as Epetra_MultiVectors, so this should not be an issue. If you are truly using Epetra_MultiVector objects, remember that for a multivector object mv, the ith vector can be extracted as mv(i).
RHS (In) The original right hand side vector that was passed in to the AztecOO solver object. See note for LHS.
Tolerance (In) A double value that is used to test the convergence criterion. Can be reset using ResetTolerance().

Member Function Documentation

AztecOO_StatusType AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::CheckStatus (  int  CurrentIter,
Epetra_MultiVector *  CurrentResVector,
double  CurrentResNormEst,
bool  SolutionUpdated
)  [virtual]
 

Check convergence status: Unconverged, Converged, Failed.

This method checks to see if the convergence criteria are met. Depending on how the residual test is constructed this method will return the appropriate status type.

Parameters:
CurrentIter (In) Current iteration of iterative method.
CurrentResVector (In) The current residuals of the iterative process.
CurrentResNormEst (In) Estimate of the two-norm of the residual. The value will be set to -1.0 if no estimate is available.
SolutionUpdated (In) If this argument is true, then the solution vector that is part of the Epetra_LinearProblem object being solved is consistent with the residual.
Returns:
AztecOO_StatusType: Unconverged, Converged or Failed.

Implements AztecOO_StatusTest.

int AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::DefineResForm (  ResType  TypeOfResidual,
NormType  TypeOfNorm,
Epetra_Vector *  Weights = 0
) 
 

Define form of the residual, its norm and optional weighting vector.

This method defines the form of $\|r\|$. We specify:

  • Whether the residual vector should be explicitly computed, or taken from the iterative method.
  • The norm to be used on the residual (this may be different than the norm used in DefineScaleForm()).
  • A weighting vector that will be multiplied, element by element, with the residual vector prior to computing the norm. This argument defaults to a zero vector and no weighting will be done.

int AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::DefineScaleForm (  ScaleType  TypeOfScaling,
NormType  TypeOfNorm,
Epetra_Vector *  Weights = 0,
double  ScaleValue = 1.0
) 
 

Define form of the scaling, its norm, its optional weighting vector, or, alternatively, define an explicit value.

This method defines the form of how the residual is scaled (if at all). It operates in two modes:

  1. User-provided scaling value:
    • Set argument TypeOfScaling to UserProvided.
    • Set ScaleValue to a non-zero value that the residual norm will be divided by.
    • TypeOfNorm and Weights arguments will be ignored.
    • Sample use: Define ScaleValue = $\|A\|_{\infty}$ where $ A $ is the matrix of the linear problem.

  2. Use a supported Scaling Form:
    • Define TypeOfScaling to be the norm of the right hand side, the initial residual vector, or to none.
    • Define norm to be used on the scaling vector (this may be different than the norm used in DefineResForm()).
    • Define a weighting vector that will be multiplied, element by element, with the residual vector prior to computing the norm. This argument defaults to a zero vector and no weighting will be done.

int AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::ResetTolerance (  double  Tolerance  )  [inline]
 

Reset the value of the tolerance.

We allow the tolerance to be reset for cases where, in the process of testing the residual, we find that the initial tolerance was too tight or too lax.

bool AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm::ResidualVectorRequired (   )  const [virtual]
 

Indicates if residual vector is required by this convergence test.

The value returned by this method will depend on several factors. Once an AztecOO_StatusTestResNorm object is constructed and the DefineResForm and DefineScaleForm methods are optionally called, this method can tested. For most Krylov solvers, there is no extra cost to providing the residual vector. However, GMRES and Transpose-free QMR will need to explicitly compute this vector if ResidualVectorRequired() returns true, so this is an extra cost for these two iterative methods.
