Detailed Description

template<class X, class Y>
class Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >

Base class for matrix free definition of preconditioners.

Note that the operator, which is the basis for the preconditioning, is supplied to the preconditioner from the outside in the constructor or some other method.

This interface allows the encapsulation of all parallelization aspects into the preconditioners.

Template Parameters

X	Type of the update
Y	Type of the defect

Member Function Documentation

apply()

template<class X , class Y >

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

pure virtual

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.

post()

template<class X , class Y >

virtual void Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >::post ( X &  x )

pure virtual

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.

pre()

template<class X , class Y >

virtual void Dune::Preconditioner< X, Y >::pre ( X &  x, Y &  b  )

pure virtual

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.
