Detailed Description

template<class X, class Y, class C, class T = Preconditioner<X,Y>>
class Dune::BlockPreconditioner< X, Y, C, T >

Block parallel preconditioner.

This is essentially a wrapper that takes a sequential preconditioner. In each step the sequential preconditioner is applied and then all owner data points are updated on all other processes.

Template Parameters

M	The type of the sequential matrix to use, e.g. BCRSMatrix or another matrix type fulfilling the matrix interface of ISTL.
X	The type of the sequential vector to use for the left hand side, e.g. BlockVector or another type fulfilling the ISTL vector interface.
Y	The type of the sequential vector to use for the right hand side, e..g. BlockVector or another type fulfilling the ISTL vector interface.
C	The type of the communication object. This must either be OwnerOverlapCopyCommunication or a type implementing the same interface.
The	type of the sequential preconditioner to use for approximately solving the local matrix block consisting of unknowns owned by the process. Has to implement the Preconditioner interface.

Member Function Documentation

apply() [1/2]

template<class X , class Y , class C , class T = Preconditioner<X,Y>>

virtual void Dune::BlockPreconditioner< X, Y, C, T >::apply ( X &  v, const Y &  d  )

inlinevirtual

Apply the preconditioner.

Apply one step of the preconditioner to the system A(v)=d.

On entry v=0 and d=b-A(x) (although this might not be computed in that way. On exit v contains the update, i.e one step computes \( v = M^{-1} d \) where \( M \) is the approximate inverse of the operator \( A \) characterizing the preconditioner.

Parameters

[out]	v	The update to be computed
	d	The current defect.

Implements Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >.

apply() [2/2]

template<class X , class Y , class C , class T = Preconditioner<X,Y>>

template<bool forward>

void Dune::BlockPreconditioner< X, Y, C, T >::apply ( X &  v, const Y &  d  )

inlinevirtual

Apply one step of the preconditioner to the system A(v)=d.

On entry v=0 and d=b-A(x) (although this might not be computed in that way. On exit v contains the update, i.e one step computes \( v = M^{-1} d \) where \( M \) is the approximate inverse of the operator \( A \) characterizing the preconditioner.

Parameters

[out]	v	The update to be computed
	d	The current defect.

Implements Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >.

post()

template<class X , class Y , class C , class T = Preconditioner<X,Y>>

virtual void Dune::BlockPreconditioner< X, Y, C, T >::post ( X &  x )

inlinevirtual

Clean up.

Clean up.

This method is called after the last apply call for the linear system to be solved. Memory may be deallocated safely here. x is the solution of the linear equation.

Parameters

x	The right hand side of the equation.

Implements Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >.

pre()

template<class X , class Y , class C , class T = Preconditioner<X,Y>>

virtual void Dune::BlockPreconditioner< X, Y, C, T >::pre ( X &  x, Y &  b  )

inlinevirtual

Prepare the preconditioner.

Prepare the preconditioner.

A solver solves a linear operator equation A(x)=b by applying one or several steps of the preconditioner. The method pre() is called before the first apply operation. b and x are right hand side and solution vector of the linear system respectively. It may. e.g., scale the system, allocate memory or compute a (I)LU decomposition. Note: The ILU decomposition could also be computed in the constructor or with a separate method of the derived method if several linear systems with the same matrix are to be solved.

Parameters

x	The left hand side of the equation.
b	The right hand side of the equation.

Implements Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >.
