Detailed Description

Simplest line search - always take the full step.

This line search can be called via NOX::LineSearch::Manager.

The following parameters can be specified in the "Full Step" sublist of the "Line Search" sublist:

Member Function Documentation

bool FullStep::compute (  NOX::Abstract::Group &  newgrp,
double &  step,
const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  dir,
const NOX::Solver::Generic &  s
)  [virtual]
 

Perform a line search.

Let

  • $x_{\rm new}$ denotes the new solution to be calculated (corresponding to grp)
  • $\lambda$ denotes the step to be calculated (step),
  • $d$ denotes the search direction (dir).
  • $x_{\rm old}$ denotes the previous solution (i.e., the result of s.getPreviousSolutionGroup().getX())

In the end, we should have computed $ \lambda $ and updated grp so that

\[ x_{\rm new} = x_{\rm old} + \lambda d. \]

Ideally, $ \|F(x_{\rm new})\| < \|F(x_{\rm old})\| $.

Implements NOX::LineSearch::Generic.
