Detailed Description

LOCA abstract interface for extended groups, derived from the NOX::Abstract::Group, i.e., an abstract interface for "super" groups that have an underlying group component.

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.

LOCA::Continuation::AbstractGroup & LOCA::Extended::AbstractGroup::getBaseLevelUnderlyingGroup (   )  [virtual]

Return base-level underlying group. This method is intended for composite groups (such as extended bifurcation groups) which have an underlying group as a data member. This method is supposed to return the base level group and has a default recursive implementation that should work in most cases.

const LOCA::Continuation::AbstractGroup & LOCA::Extended::AbstractGroup::getBaseLevelUnderlyingGroup (   )  const [virtual]

Return base-level underlying group. This method is intended for composite groups (such as extended bifurcation groups) which have an underlying group as a data member. This method is supposed to return the base level group and has a default recursive implementation that should work in most cases.

virtual LOCA::Continuation::AbstractGroup& LOCA::Extended::AbstractGroup::getUnderlyingGroup (   )  [pure virtual]

Return underlying group. This method should the underlying group data member. Implemented in LOCA::Bifurcation::HopfBord::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Bifurcation::PitchforkBord::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Bifurcation::TPBord::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Continuation::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Homotopy::Group, and LOCA::MultiContinuation::ExtendedGroup.

virtual const LOCA::Continuation::AbstractGroup& LOCA::Extended::AbstractGroup::getUnderlyingGroup (   )  const [pure virtual]

Return underlying group. This method should the underlying group data member. Implemented in LOCA::Bifurcation::HopfBord::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Bifurcation::PitchforkBord::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Bifurcation::TPBord::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Continuation::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Homotopy::Group, and LOCA::MultiContinuation::ExtendedGroup.
