Detailed Description

Control class for timestepping schemes. Its main task is determining the size of the next time step and the according point in the time interval. Additionally, it controls writing the solution to a file.

The size of the next time step is determined as follows:

  1. According to the strategy, the step size is tentatively added to the current time.
  2. If the resulting time exceeds the final time of the interval, the step size is reduced in order to meet this time.
  3. If the resulting time is below the final time by just a fraction of the step size, the step size is increased in order to meet this time.
  4. The resulting step size is used from the current time.

The variable print_step can be used to control the amount of output generated by the timestepping scheme.

Note
Many of the features of this class are available in DiscreteTime with a more modern interface and better programming guarantees. Consider using DiscreteTime instead of TimestepControl.

TimestepControl::TimestepControl ( double  start = 0.,
double  final = 1.,
double  tolerance = 1.e-2,
double  start_step = 1.e-2,
double  print_step = -1.,

Member Function Documentation

◆ declare_parameters()

void TimestepControl::declare_parameters ( ParameterHandler param)
static

Declare the control parameters for parameter handler.

Definition at line 51 of file timestep_control.cc.

◆ parse_parameters()

void TimestepControl::parse_parameters ( ParameterHandler param)

Read the control parameters from a parameter handler.

This function also calls restart() to reset all other internal parameters of this class to their appropriate values based on the parameters just read.

Definition at line 64 of file timestep_control.cc.

◆ start() [1/2]

double Algorithms::TimestepControl::start ( ) const
inline

Return the left end of the time interval.

Definition at line 232 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ final() [1/2]

double Algorithms::TimestepControl::final ( ) const
inline

Return the right end of the time interval. The control mechanism ensures that the final time step ends at this point.

Definition at line 239 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ tolerance() [1/2]

double Algorithms::TimestepControl::tolerance ( ) const
inline

Return the tolerance value controlling the time steps.

Definition at line 253 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ step()

double Algorithms::TimestepControl::step ( ) const
inline

Return the size of the current time step.

Definition at line 246 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ now()

double Algorithms::TimestepControl::now ( ) const
inline

Return the current time.

Definition at line 260 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ advance()

bool TimestepControl::advance ( )

Compute the size of the next step and return true if it differs from the current step size. Advance the current time by the new step size.

Definition at line 77 of file timestep_control.cc.

◆ start() [2/2]

void Algorithms::TimestepControl::start ( double  t)
inline

Set start value.

Definition at line 267 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ final() [2/2]

void Algorithms::TimestepControl::final ( double  t)
inline

Set final time value.

Definition at line 274 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ tolerance() [2/2]

void Algorithms::TimestepControl::tolerance ( double  t)
inline

Set tolerance

Definition at line 281 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ start_step()

void Algorithms::TimestepControl::start_step ( const double  step)
inline

Set size of the first step. This may be overwritten by the time stepping strategy.

Parameters
[in]stepThe size of the first step, which may be overwritten by the time stepping strategy.

Definition at line 288 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ max_step()

void Algorithms::TimestepControl::max_step ( double  t)
inline

Set size of the maximum step size.

Definition at line 295 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ restart()

void Algorithms::TimestepControl::restart ( )
inline

Set now() equal to start(). Initialize step() and print() to their initial values.

Definition at line 302 of file timestep_control.h.

◆ print()

bool TimestepControl::print ( )

Return true if this timestep should be written to disk.

Definition at line 102 of file timestep_control.cc.
