Detailed Description

LOCA abstract interface for continuation, derived from the NOX::Abstract::Group. This abstract class provides the interface necessary to perform continuation, i.e., compute families of solutions to $ F(x,p) = 0 $.

Concrete implemenations of this interface must provide implementations of all of the methods in the NOX::Abstract::Group interface as well as the additional interface defined here.

NOX::Abstract::Group::ReturnType LOCA::Continuation::AbstractGroup::applyHouseholderJacobianInverse (  NOX::Parameter::List &  params,
const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  f,
const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  dfdp,
const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  ux,
double  up,
double  beta,
NOX::Abstract::Vector &  result_x,
double &  result_p
)  const [virtual]
 

Solve arclength continuation equations using Householder projection.

This method should compute a solution to the following system of equations

\[ \begin{bmatrix} J & \frac{df}{dp} \end{bmatrix} Q y = f \]

where $Q\in\Re^{n+1\times n}$ is an orthogonal matrix such that for any $z\in\Re^n$,

\[ Q z = P \begin{bmatrix} z \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}. \]

Here $P = I - \beta u u^T\in\Re^{n+1\times n+1}$ is a Householder transformation such that $P v = \|v\|_2 e_{n+1}$ and $u_{n+1} = 1$ where $v\in\Re^{n+1}$ is the predictor vector and $e_{n+1}$ is the $n+1$ column of the identity.

The default implementation here is to throw an error. This method is only called by the Householder continuation group, and should be implemented to use this continuation method.

Reimplemented in LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::EpetraNew::Group.

applyJacobianInverse for multiple right-hand sides

The default implementation here calls applyJacobianInverse() for each right hand side serially but should be overloaded if a block solver is available.
