Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class AutoDerivativeFunction< dim >

This class automatically computes the gradient of a function by employing numerical difference quotients. This only, if the user function does not provide the gradient function himself.

The following example of an user defined function overloads and implements only the value() function but not the gradient() function. If the gradient() function is invoked then the gradient function implemented by the AutoDerivativeFunction is called, where the latter function employs numerical difference quotients.

class UserFunction: public AutoDerivativeFunction
{
// access to one component at one point
double value (const Point<dim> &p,
const unsigned int component = 0) const override
{
// Implementation ....
};
};
UserFunction user_function;
// gradient by employing difference quotients.
Tensor<1,dim> grad=user_function.gradient(some_point);

If the user overloads and implements also the gradient function, then, of course, the users gradient function is called.

Note, that the usage of the value() and gradient() functions explained above, also applies to the value_list() and gradient_list() functions as well as to the vector valued versions of these functions, see e.g. vector_value(), vector_gradient(), vector_value_list() and vector_gradient_list().

The gradient() and gradient_list() functions make use of the Function::value() function. The vector_gradient() and vector_gradient_list() make use of the Function::vector_value() function. Make sure that the user defined function implements the value() function and the vector_value() function, respectively.

Furthermore note, that an object of this class does not represent the derivative of a function, like FunctionDerivative, that gives a directional derivative by calling the value() function. In fact, this class (the AutoDerivativeFunction class) can substitute the Function class as base class for user defined classes. This class implements the gradient() functions for automatic computation of numerical difference quotients and serves as intermediate class between the base Function class and the user defined function class.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ DifferenceFormula

Names of difference formulas.

Enumerator
Euler 

The symmetric Euler formula of second order:

\[ u'(t) \approx \frac{u(t+h) - u(t-h)}{2h}. \]

UpwindEuler 

The upwind Euler formula of first order:

\[ u'(t) \approx \frac{u(t) - u(t-h)}{h}. \]

FourthOrder 

The fourth order scheme

\[ u'(t) \approx \frac{u(t-2h) - 8u(t-h) + 8u(t+h) - u(t+2h)}{12h}. \]

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ AutoDerivativeFunction()

template<int dim>
AutoDerivativeFunction< dim >::AutoDerivativeFunction ( const double  h,
const unsigned int  n_components = 1,
const double  initial_time = 0.0 
)

Constructor. Takes the difference step size h. It's within the user's responsibility to choose an appropriate value here. h should be chosen taking into account the absolute value as well as the amount of local variation of the function. Setting h=1e-6 might be a good choice for functions with an absolute value of about 1, that furthermore does not vary to much.

h can be changed later using the set_h() function.

Sets DifferenceFormula formula to the default Euler formula of the set_formula() function. Change this preset formula by calling the set_formula() function.

Definition at line 26 of file auto_derivative_function.cc.

◆ ~AutoDerivativeFunction()

template<int dim>
virtual AutoDerivativeFunction< dim >::~AutoDerivativeFunction ( )
overridevirtualdefault

Virtual destructor; absolutely necessary in this case.

◆ set_h()

template<int dim>
void AutoDerivativeFunction< dim >::set_h ( const double  h)

Takes the difference step size h. It's within the user's responsibility to choose an appropriate value here. h should be chosen taking into account the absolute value of as well as the amount of local variation of the function. Setting h=1e-6 might be a good choice for functions with an absolute value of about 1, that furthermore does not vary to much.
