Detailed Description

Base class for preconditioner classes using the PETSc functionality. The classes in this hierarchy don't do a whole lot, except for providing a function that sets the preconditioner and certain parameters on the preconditioning context of the solver. These classes are basically here only to allow a similar interface as already used for the deal.II solver and preconditioner classes.

Note that derived classes only provide interfaces to the relevant functionality of PETSc. PETSc does not implement all preconditioners for all matrix types. In particular, some preconditioners are not going to work for parallel jobs, such as for example the ILU preconditioner.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PreconditionerBase()

PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::PreconditionerBase ( )

Constructor.

Definition at line 36 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

◆ ~PreconditionerBase()

PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::~PreconditionerBase ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 41 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

void PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::clear ( )

Destroys the preconditioner, leaving an object like just after having called the constructor.

Definition at line 52 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

◆ vmult()

void PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::vmult ( VectorBase dst,
const VectorBase src 
) const

Apply the preconditioner once to the given src vector.

Definition at line 66 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

◆ get_pc()

const PC & PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::get_pc ( ) const

Give access to the underlying PETSc object.

Definition at line 103 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

◆ create_pc()

void PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::create_pc ( )
protected

Internal function to create the PETSc preconditioner object. Fails if called twice.

Definition at line 76 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

◆ operator Mat()

PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::operator Mat ( ) const
protected

Conversion operator to get a representation of the matrix that represents this preconditioner. We use this inside the actual solver, where we need to pass this matrix to the PETSc solvers.

Definition at line 109 of file petsc_precondition.cc.

Friends And Related Function Documentation

◆ SolverBase

friend class SolverBase
friend

Make the solver class a friend, since it needs to call the conversion operator.

Definition at line 118 of file petsc_precondition.h.

Member Data Documentation

◆ pc

PC PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::pc
protected

the PETSc preconditioner object

Definition at line 93 of file petsc_precondition.h.

◆ matrix

Mat PETScWrappers::PreconditionerBase::matrix
protected

A pointer to the matrix that acts as a preconditioner.

Definition at line 98 of file petsc_precondition.h.
