NOX & LOCA: Object-Oriented Nonlinear Solver and Continuation Packages

TrilinosRelease5.0Branch

Introduction

NOX is short for Nonlinear Object-Oriented Solutions, and its objective is to enable the efficient solution of the equation: $ F(x)=0 $, where $F:\Re^n \rightarrow \Re^n$. NOX is designed to work with any linear algebra package and to be easily customized. NOX is part of Sandia's Trilinos project.

LOCA, distributed as part of NOX, is short for Library of Continuation Algorithms, and its objective is to compute families of solutions to $ F(x,p)=0 $ and their bifurcations, where $F:\Re^n\times\Re^m\rightarrow\Re^n$. For LOCA specific information, see LOCA Overview.
