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.

virtual NOX::Abstract::Group::ReturnType LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::computeDfDpMulti (  const vector< int > &  paramIDs,
NOX::Abstract::MultiVector &  dfdp,
bool  isValidF
)  [pure virtual]
 

Compute $\partial F/\partial p$ for each parameter $p$ indexed by paramIDs. The first column of dfdp holds F, which is valid if isValidF is true. Otherwise F must be computed.

Implemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::FiniteDifferenceGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, and LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup.

double LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::computeScaledDotProduct (  const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  a,
const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  b
)  const [virtual]
 

Compute a scaled dot product.

The default implementation here just computes a.dot(b) but should be overloaded for any problem that his difficult scaling.

Reimplemented in LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::LAPACK::Group.

void LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::postProcessContinuationStep (  LOCA::Abstract::Iterator::StepStatus  stepStatus  )  [virtual]
 

Perform any postprocessing after a continuation step finishes.

The stepStatus argument indicates whether the step was successful. The default implementation to empty.

Reimplemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, and LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup.

void LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::preProcessContinuationStep (  LOCA::Abstract::Iterator::StepStatus  stepStatus  )  [virtual]
 

Perform any preprocessing before a continuation step starts.

The stepStatus argument indicates whether the previous step was successful. The default implementation to empty.

Reimplemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, and LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup.

virtual void LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::printSolution (  const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  x_,
const double  conParam
)  const [inline, virtual]
 

Function to print out a vector and parameter after successful step.

Empty default definition.

Reimplemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::LAPACK::Group.

virtual void LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::printSolution (  const double  conParam  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Function to print out solution and parameter after successful step.

Empty default definition.

Reimplemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::LAPACK::Group.

void LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::projectToDraw (  const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  x,
double *  px
)  const [virtual]
 

Projects solution to a few scalars for multiparameter continuation.

This method is called every time a solution is saved by the multiparameter continuation code MF for later visualization and should project the solution vector down to a few scalars. The array px will be preallocated to the proper length given by projectToDrawDimension().

The default implementation is the max norm of the vector.

Reimplemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::LAPACK::Group.

int LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::projectToDrawDimension (   )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the dimension of the project to draw array.

The default implementation is to return 1 since the default projection is the max norm of the vector (a scalar).

Reimplemented in LOCA::Homotopy::Group, LOCA::Hopf::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Pitchfork::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MinimallyAugmented::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::TurningPoint::MooreSpence::ExtendedGroup, LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::LAPACK::Group.

void LOCA::MultiContinuation::AbstractGroup::scaleVector (  NOX::Abstract::Vector &  x  )  const [virtual]
 

Scales a vector using scaling vector.

The default definition here is to do nothing, i.e., no scaling

Reimplemented in LOCA::MultiContinuation::ConstrainedGroup, LOCA::Epetra::Group, and LOCA::LAPACK::Group.
