Detailed Description

NOX pure abstract interface to a "group"; i.e., a solution vector and the corresponding F-vector, Jacobian matrix, gradient vector, and Newton vector.

This class is a member of the namespace NOX::Abstract.

The user should implement their own concrete implementation of this class or use one of the implementations provided by us. Typically the implementation is also tied to a particular NOX::Abstract::Vector implementation.

Note:
The group may be implemented so that multiple groups can share underlying memory space. This is particularly important when it comes to the Jacobian, which is often to big to be replicated for every group. Thus, we have included instructions on how shared data should be treated for the operator=() and clone() functions.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NOX::Multiphysics::Group::Group (  const Teuchos::RefCountPtr< vector< Teuchos::RefCountPtr< NOX::Solver::Manager > > > &  solvers,
const Teuchos::RefCountPtr< NOX::StatusTest::Generic > &  t,
const Teuchos::RefCountPtr< Teuchos::ParameterList > &  p
) 
 

Constructor.

Note:
Constructors for any derived object should always define a default x-value so that getX() is always defined.

Member Function Documentation

Teuchos::RefCountPtr< NOX::Abstract::Group > NOX::Multiphysics::Group::clone (  NOX::CopyType  type = NOX::DeepCopy  )  const [virtual]
 

Create a new Group of the same derived type as this one by cloning this one, and return a ref count pointer to the new group.

If type is NOX::DeepCopy, then we need to create an exact replica of "this". Otherwise, if type is NOX::ShapeCopy, we need only replicate the shape of "this" (only the memory is allocated, the values are not copied into the vectors and Jacobian). Returns NULL if clone is not supported.

Note:
Any shared data should have its ownership transfered to this group from the source for a NOX::DeepCopy.

Implements NOX::Abstract::Group.

NOX::Abstract::Group::ReturnType NOX::Multiphysics::Group::computeF (   )  [virtual]
 

Compute and store F(x).

Note:
It's generally useful to also compute and store the 2-norm of F(x) at this point for later access by the getNormF() function.
Returns:

Implements NOX::Abstract::Group.

void NOX::Multiphysics::Group::computeX (  const NOX::Abstract::Group &  grp,
const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  d,
double  step
)  [virtual]
 

Compute x = grp.x + step * d.

Let $x$ denote this group's solution vector. Let $\hat x$ denote the result of grp.getX(). Then set

\[ x = \hat x + \mbox{step} \; d. \]

Note:
This should invalidate the function value, Jacobian, gradient, and Newton direction.

Throw an error if the copy fails.

Returns:
Reference to this object

Implements NOX::Abstract::Group.

double NOX::Multiphysics::Group::getNormF (   )  const [virtual]
 

Return 2-norm of F(x).

In other words,

\[ \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n F_i^2} \]

Implements NOX::Abstract::Group.

NOX::Abstract::Group & NOX::Multiphysics::Group::operator= (  const NOX::Abstract::Group &  source  )  [virtual]
 

Copies the source group into this group.

Note:
Any shared data owned by the source should have its ownership transfered to this group. This may result in a secret modification to the source object.

Implements NOX::Abstract::Group.

void NOX::Multiphysics::Group::setX (  const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  y  )  [virtual]
 

Set the solution vector x to y.

Note:
This should invalidate the function value, Jacobian, gradient, and Newton direction.

Throw an error if the copy fails.

Returns:
Reference to this object

Implements NOX::Abstract::Group.
