Detailed Description

Abstract nonlinear solver method interface.

Defines the type of access methods into the iterative nonlinear solvers.

• Instantiate or reset() the solver.
• Find the solution via solve() or perform a single iterations via iterate().
• Get information about the current solver state via getSolutionGroup(), getPreviousSolutionGroup(), getNumIterations(), and getList() --- particularily useful for NOX::StatusTest methods.
• Get the current status of the solver via getStatus().

(

[pure virtual]

Solve the nonlinear problem and return final status.

By "solve", we call iterate() until the NOX::StatusTest value is either NOX::StatusTest::Converged or NOX::StatusTest::Failed.

Implemented in NOX::Multiphysics::Solver::FixedPointBased, NOX::Multiphysics::Solver::Manager, NOX::Solver::InexactTrustRegionBased, NOX::Solver::LineSearchBased, NOX::Solver::TensorBased, NOX::Solver::TrustRegionBased, and LOCA::Solver::Wrapper.
