Detailed Description

Control class to determine convergence of iterative solvers.

Used by iterative methods to determine whether the iteration should be continued. To this end, the virtual function check() is called in each iteration with the current iteration step and the value indicating convergence (usually the residual).

After the iteration has terminated, the functions last_value() and last_step() can be used to obtain information about the final state of the iteration.

check() can be replaced in derived classes to allow for more sophisticated tests.

State

The return states of the check function are of type State, which is an enum local to this class. It indicates the state the solver is in.

The possible values of State are

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SolverControl()

SolverControl::SolverControl ( const unsigned int  n = 100,
const double  tol = 1.e-10,
const bool  log_history = false,
const bool  log_result = true 
)

Constructor. The parameters n and tol are the maximum number of iteration steps before failure and the tolerance to determine success of the iteration.

log_history specifies whether the history (i.e. the value to be checked and the number of the iteration step) shall be printed to deallog stream. Default is: do not print. Similarly, log_result specifies the whether the final result is logged to deallog. Default is yes.

Definition at line 30 of file solver_control.cc.

◆ ~SolverControl()

virtual SolverControl::~SolverControl ( )
overridevirtualdefault

Virtual destructor is needed as there are virtual functions in this class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ declare_parameters()

void SolverControl::declare_parameters ( ParameterHandler param)
static

Interface to parameter file.

Definition at line 204 of file solver_control.cc.

◆ parse_parameters()

void SolverControl::parse_parameters ( ParameterHandler param)

Read parameters from file.

Definition at line 215 of file solver_control.cc.

◆ check()

SolverControl::State SolverControl::check ( const unsigned int  step,
const double  check_value 
)
virtual

Decide about success or failure of an iteration. This function gets the current iteration step to determine, whether the allowed number of steps has been exceeded and returns failure in this case. If check_value is below the prescribed tolerance, it returns success. In all other cases iterate is returned to suggest continuation of the iterative procedure.

The iteration is also aborted if the residual becomes a denormalized value (NaN).

check() additionally preserves step and check_value. These values are accessible by last_value() and last_step().

Derived classes may overload this function, e.g. to log the convergence indicators (check_value) or to do other computations.

Reimplemented in ConsecutiveControl, IterationNumberControl, and ReductionControl.
