Detailed Description

template<typename VectorType = Vector<double>>
class SolverSelector< VectorType >

Selects a solver by changing a parameter.

By calling the solve function of this SolverSelector, it selects the solve function of that Solver that was specified in the constructor of this class.

Usage

The simplest use of this class is the following:

// generate a @p SolverControl and
// a @p VectorMemory
// Line 3:
//
// generate a @p SolverSelector that
// calls the @p SolverCG
solver_selector("cg", control, memory);
// generate e.g. a @p PreconditionRelaxation
preconditioning(A, &SparseMatrix<double>
::template precondition_SSOR<double>,0.8);
// call the @p solve function with this
// preconditioning as last argument
solver_selector.solve(A,x,b,preconditioning);

But the full usefulness of the SolverSelector class is not clear until the presentation of the following example that assumes the user using the ParameterHandler class and having declared a "solver" entry, e.g. with

Parameter_Handler prm;
prm.declare_entry ("solver", "none",
...

Assuming that in the users parameter file there exists the line

* set solver = cg
* 

then ‘Line 3’ of the above example reads

solver_selector(prm.get("solver"), control, memory);

If at some time there exists a new solver "xyz" then the user does not need to change his program. Only in the implementation of the SolverSelector the calling of this solver has to be added and each user with program lines quoted above only needs to 'set solver = xyz' in his parameter file to get access to that new solver. :-)

(By the way, thanks to Wolfgang for implementing the ParameterHandler.)
