Detailed Description

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType = double>
class Differentiation::AD::EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >

A helper class that facilitates the implementation of a generic (incremental) variational formulation from which the computation of the residual vector, as well as its linearization, is automated. This class would typically be used to derive the residual vector and tangent matrix (defined on the level of a cell), or a linearized system of equations, starting from a scalar energy functional.

An example of its usage in the case of a residual and tangent computations might be as follows (in this case we'll compute the linearization of a finite-strain hyperelastic solid from a stored/strain energy density function):

// Existing data structures:
Vector<double> solution (...); // Or another vector type
std::vector<types::global_dof_index> local_dof_indices (...);
const FEValuesExtractors::Vector u_fe (...);
FEValues<dim> fe_values (...);
const unsigned int n_q_points (...);
FullMatrix<double> cell_matrix (...);
Vector<double> cell_rhs (...);
// Assembly loop:
for (auto &cell : ...)
{
cell->get_dof_indices(local_dof_indices);
const unsigned int n_independent_variables =
local_dof_indices.size();
// Create some aliases for the AD helper.
// In the example, the AD_typecode used for the template argument can
// be refer to either a taped or tapeless type.
using ADHelper = AD::EnergyFunctional<...>;
using ADNumberType = typename ADHelper::ad_type;
// Create and initialize an instance of the helper class.
ADHelper ad_helper(n_independent_variables);
// Initialize the local data structures for assembly.
// This is also taken care of by the ADHelper, so this step could
// be skipped.
cell_rhs.reinit(n_independent_variables);
cell_matrix.reinit(n_independent_variables,n_independent_variables);
// An optional call to set the amount of memory to be allocated to
// storing taped data.
// If using a taped AD number then we would likely want to increase
// the buffer size from the default values as the expression for each
// residual component will likely be lengthy, and therefore memory
// intensive.
ad_helper.set_tape_buffer_sizes(...);
// If using a taped AD number, then at this point we would initiate
// taping of the expression for the energy for this FE type and
// material combination:
// Select a tape number to record to
const typename Types<ad_type>::tape_index tape_index = ...;
// Indicate that we are about to start tracing the operations for
// function evaluation on the tape. If this tape has already been
// used (i.e. the operations are already recorded) then we
// (optionally) load the tape and reuse this data.
const bool is_recording
= ad_helper.start_recording_operations(tape_index);
// The steps that follow in the recording phase are required for
// tapeless methods as well.
if (is_recording == true)
{
// This is the "recording" phase of the operations.
// First, we set the values for all DoFs.
ad_helper.register_dof_values(solution, local_dof_indices);
// Then we get the complete set of degree of freedom values as
// represented by auto-differentiable numbers. The operations

// from this point until stop_recording_operations() is called.
const std::vector<ADNumberType> dof_values_ad
= ad_helper.get_sensitive_dof_values();
// Then we do some problem specific tasks, the first being to
// compute all values, gradients, etc. based on sensitive AD DoF
// values. Here we are fetching the displacement gradients at each
// quadrature point.

n_q_points, Tensor<2, dim, ADNumberType>());
fe_values[u_fe].get_function_gradients_from_local_dof_values(
dof_values_ad, Grad_u);
// This variable stores the cell total energy.
// IMPORTANT: Note that it is hand-initialized with a value of
// zero. This is a highly recommended practise, as some AD numbers
// appear not to safely initialize their internal data structures.
ADNumberType energy_ad = ADNumberType(0.0);
// Compute the cell total energy = (internal + external) energies
for (unsigned int q_point = 0; q_point < n_q_points; ++q_point)
{
// Calculate the deformation gradient at this quadrature point

unit_symmetric_tensor<dim>() + Grad_u[q_point];
Assert(numbers::value_is_greater_than(determinant(F), 0.0),
ExcMessage("Negative determinant of the deformation "
"gradient detected!"));
// Add contribution of the internal energy:
// Integrate the stored energy density function with the current
// solution.

}
else
{
// This is the "tape reuse" phase of the operations.
// Here we will leverage the already traced operations that reside
// on a tape, and simply re-evaluate the tape at a different point
// to get the function values and their derivatives.

In most use cases, and in particular in the code example shown above, the number of independent variables equals the number of dofs_per_cell for the used finite element.

Warning
ADOL-C does not support the standard threading models used by deal.II, so this class should not be embedded within a multithreaded function when using ADOL-C number types. It is, however, suitable for use in both serial and MPI routines.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ EnergyFunctional()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
Differentiation::AD::EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::EnergyFunctional ( const unsigned int  n_independent_variables)

The constructor for the class.

Parameters
[in]n_independent_variablesThe number of independent variables that will be used in the definition of the functions that it is desired to compute the sensitivities of. In the computation of \(\Psi(\mathbf{X})\), this will be the number of inputs \(\mathbf{X}\), i.e., the dimension of the domain space.
Note
There is only one dependent variable associated with the total energy attributed to the local finite element. That is to say, this class assumes that the (local) right hand side and matrix contribution is computed from the first and second derivatives of a scalar function \(\Psi(\mathbf{X})\).

Member Function Documentation

◆ register_energy_functional()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::register_energy_functional ( const ad_type &  energy)

Register the definition of the total cell energy \(\Psi(\mathbf{X})\).

Parameters
[in]energyA recorded function that defines the total cell energy. This represents the single dependent variable from which both the residual and its linearization are to be computed.
Note
For this class that expects only a single scalar dependent variable, this function must only be called once per tape.
For taped AD numbers, this operation is only valid in recording mode.

Definition at line 802 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ compute_energy()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::scalar_type Differentiation::AD::EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::compute_energy

Evaluation of the total scalar energy functional for a chosen set of degree of freedom values, i.e.

\[ \Psi(\mathbf{X}) \vert_{\mathbf{X}} \]

The values at the evaluation point \(\mathbf{X}\) are obtained by calling CellLevelBase::set_dof_values().

Returns
The value of the energy functional at the evaluation point corresponding to a chosen set of local degree of freedom values.

Definition at line 814 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ compute_residual()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::compute_residual ( Vector< scalar_type > &  residual) const
overridevirtual

Evaluation of the residual for a chosen set of degree of freedom values. Underlying this is the computation of the gradient (first derivative) of the scalar function \(\Psi\) with respect to all independent variables, i.e.

\[ \mathbf{r}(\mathbf{X}) = \frac{\partial\Psi(\mathbf{X})}{\partial\mathbf{X}} \Big\vert_{\mathbf{X}} \]

The values at the evaluation point \(\mathbf{X}\) are obtained by calling CellLevelBase::set_dof_values().

Parameters
[out]residualA Vector object, for which the value for each entry represents the residual value for the corresponding local degree of freedom. The output residual vector has a length corresponding to n_independent_variables.

Implements Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >.

Definition at line 868 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ compute_linearization()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::EnergyFunctional< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::compute_linearization ( FullMatrix< scalar_type > &  linearization) const
overridevirtual

Compute the linearization of the residual vector around a chosen set of degree of freedom values. Underlying this is the computation of the Hessian (second derivative) of the scalar function \(\Psi\) with respect to all independent variables, i.e.

\[ \frac{\partial\mathbf{r}(\mathbf{X})}{\partial\mathbf{X}} = \frac{\partial^{2}\Psi(\mathbf{X})}{\partial\mathbf{X} \otimes \partial\mathbf{X}} \Big\vert_{\mathbf{X}} \]

The values at the evaluation point \(\mathbf{X}\) are obtained by calling CellLevelBase::set_dof_values().

Parameters
[out]linearizationA FullMatrix representing the linearization of the residual vector. The output linearization matrix has dimensions corresponding to n_independent_variables \(\times\)n_independent_variables.

Implements Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >.

◆ register_dof_values() [1/2]

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::register_dof_values ( const std::vector< scalar_type > &  dof_values)
inherited

Register the complete set of independent variables \(\mathbf{X}\) that represent the local degree of freedom values.

Parameters
[in]dof_valuesA vector field associated with local degree of freedom values on the current finite element. These define the values of all independent variables. When considering taped AD numbers with branching functions, to avoid potential issues with branch switching it may be a good idea to choose these values close or equal to those that will be later evaluated and linearized around.
Note
The input value type must correspond to this class's scalar_type. Depending on the selected ADNumberTypeCode, this may or may not correspond with the ScalarType prescribed as a template argument.
For taped AD numbers, this operation is only valid in recording mode.

◆ register_dof_values() [2/2]

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType = double>
template<typename VectorType >
void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::register_dof_values ( const VectorType &  values,
const std::vector<::types::global_dof_index > &  local_dof_indices 
)
inherited

Register the complete set of independent variables \(\mathbf{X}\) that represent the local degree of freedom values.

Parameters
[in]valuesA global field from which the values of all independent variables will be extracted. This typically will be the solution vector around which point a residual vector is to be computed and around which linearization is to occur. When considering taped AD numbers with branching functions, to avoid potential issues with branch switching it may be a good idea to choose these values close or equal to those that will be later evaluated and linearized around.
[in]local_dof_indicesA vector of degree of freedom indices from which to extract the local degree of freedom values. This would typically obtained by calling cell->get_dof_indices().
Note
For taped AD numbers, this operation is only valid in recording mode.

◆ get_sensitive_dof_values()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
const std::vector< typename CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::ad_type > & Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::get_sensitive_dof_values
inherited

Return the complete set of degree of freedom values as represented by auto-differentiable numbers. These are the independent variables \(\mathbf{X}\) about which the solution is linearized.

This function indicates to the AD library that implements the auto-differentiable number type that operations performed on these numbers are to be tracked so they are considered "sensitive" variables. This is, therefore, the set of variables with which one would then perform computations, and based on which one can then extract both the value of the function and its derivatives with the member functions below. The values of the components of the returned object are initialized to the values set with register_independent_variable().

Returns
An array of auto-differentiable type numbers representing the local degree of freedom values.
Note
For taped AD numbers, this operation is only valid in recording mode.

Definition at line 744 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ set_dof_values() [1/2]

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::set_dof_values ( const std::vector< scalar_type > &  dof_values)
inherited

Set the values for the independent variables \(\mathbf{X}\), i.e., the linearization point.

Parameters
[in]dof_valuesA vector field associated with local degree of freedom values on the current finite element. These define the values of all independent variables.
Note
The input value type must correspond to this class's scalar_type. Depending on the selected ADNumberTypeCode, this may or may not correspond with the ScalarType prescribed as a template argument.
If the keep_independent_values flag has been set when HelperBase::start_recording_operations() is called then the tape is immediately usable after creation, and the values of the independent variables set by register_dof_values() are those at which the function is to be evaluated. In this case, a separate call to this function is not strictly necessary.

Definition at line 769 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ set_dof_values() [2/2]

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType = double>
template<typename VectorType >
void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::set_dof_values ( const VectorType &  values,
const std::vector<::types::global_dof_index > &  local_dof_indices 
)
inherited

Set the values for the independent variables \(\mathbf{X}\), i.e., the linearization point.

Parameters
[in]valuesA vector field from which the values of all independent variables is to be extracted.
[in]local_dof_indicesA vector of degree of freedom indices from which to extract the local degree of freedom values. This would typically obtained by calling cell->get_dof_indices().
Note
If the keep_independent_values flag has been set when HelperBase::start_recording_operations() is called then the tape is immediately usable after creation, and the values of the independent variables set by register_dof_values() are those at which the function is to be evaluated. In this case, a separate call to this function is not strictly necessary.

◆ n_independent_variables()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
std::size_t Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::n_independent_variables
inherited

Return the number of independent variables that this object expects to work with. This is the dimension of the domain space.

Definition at line 241 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ n_dependent_variables()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
std::size_t Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::n_dependent_variables
inherited

Return the number of dependent variables that this object expects to operate on. This is the dimension of the image space.

Definition at line 262 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ print()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::print ( std::ostream &  stream) const
inherited

Print the status of all queryable data. Exactly what is printed and its format depends on the ad_type, as is determined by the ADNumberTypeCode template parameter.

Parameters
[in]streamThe output stream to which the values are to be written.

Definition at line 309 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ print_values()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::print_values ( std::ostream &  stream) const
inherited

◆ print_tape_stats()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::print_tape_stats ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index  tape_index,
std::ostream &  stream 
) const
inherited

Print the statistics regarding the usage of the tapes.

Parameters
[in]tape_indexThe index of the tape to get the statistics of.
[out]streamThe output stream to which the values are to be written.
Note
This function only produces meaningful output when ad_type is a taped auto-differentiable number.

Definition at line 373 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ configure_tapeless_mode()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::configure_tapeless_mode ( const unsigned int  n_independent_variables,
const bool  ensure_persistent_setting = true 
)
staticinherited

Pre-specify the number of independent_variables to be used in tapeless mode.

Although this function is called internally in the HelperBase constructor, there may be occasions when ADOL-C tapeless numbers (adtl::adoubles) are created before an instance of this class is created. This function therefore allows one to declare at the earliest possible instance how many directional derivatives will be considered in tapeless mode.

Warning
With ensure_persistent_setting set to true when the ad_type is an ADOL-C tapeless number, calling this function leaves the set number of directional derivatives in a persistent state. It will therefore not be possible to further modify the number of directional derivatives to be tracked by adtl::adoubles's during course of the program's execution.

Definition at line 448 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ reset()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::reset ( const unsigned int  n_independent_variables = ::numbers::invalid_unsigned_int,
const unsigned int  n_dependent_variables = ::numbers::invalid_unsigned_int,
const bool  clear_registered_tapes = true 
)
virtualinherited

Reset the state of the helper class.

When an instance of an HelperBase is stored as a class member object with the intention to reuse its instance, it may be necessary to reset the state of the object before use. This is because, internally, there is error checking performed to ensure that the correct auto-differentiable data is being tracked and used only when appropriate. This function clears all member data and, therefore, allows the state of all internal flags to be safely reset to their initial state.

In the rare case that the number of independent or dependent variables has changed, this can also reconfigured by passing in the appropriate arguments to the function.

Parameters
[in]n_independent_variablesThe number of independent variables that will be used in the definition of the functions that it is desired to compute the sensitivities of. In the computation of \(\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{X})\), this will be the number of inputs \(\mathbf{X}\), i.e., the dimension of the domain space.
[in]n_dependent_variablesThe number of scalar functions to be defined that will have a sensitivity to the given independent variables. In the computation of \(\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{X})\), this will be the number of outputs \(\mathbf{f}\), i.e., the dimension of the image space.
[in]clear_registered_tapesA flag that indicates the that list of registered_tapes must be cleared. If set to true then the data structure that tracks which tapes have been recorded is cleared as well. It is then expected that any preexisting tapes be re-recorded.
Note
This also resets the active tape number to an invalid number, and deactivates the recording mode for taped variables.

Reimplemented in Differentiation::AD::PointLevelFunctionsBase< dim, ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >, and Differentiation::AD::PointLevelFunctionsBase< dim, ADNumberTypeCode, double >.

◆ set_tape_buffer_sizes()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::set_tape_buffer_sizes ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_buffer_sizes  obufsize = 64 * 1024 * 1024,

const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_buffer_sizes  tbufsize = 64 * 1024 * 1024 
)
inherited

Set the buffer sizes for the next active tape.

This function must be called before start_recording_operations() for it to have any influence on the memory allocated to the next recorded tape.

Note
This function only has an effect when using ADOL-C numbers. As stated by the ADOL-C manual, it may be desirable to create a file ".adolcrc" in the program run directory and set the buffer size therein. Alternatively, this function can be used to override the settings for any given tape, or can be used in the event that no ".adolcrc" file exists. The default value for each buffer is set at 64 megabytes, a heuristically chosen value thought to be appropriate for use within the context of finite element analysis when considering coupled problems with multiple vector-valued fields discretised by higher order shape functions, as well as complex constitutive laws.
Parameters
[in]obufsizeADOL-C operations buffer size
[in]lbufsizeADOL-C locations buffer size
[in]vbufsizeADOL-C value buffer size
[in]tbufsizeADOL-C Taylor buffer size

◆ start_recording_operations()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::start_recording_operations ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index  tape_index,
const bool  overwrite_tape = false,
const bool  keep_independent_values = true 
)
inherited

Enable recording mode for a given tape. The use of this function is mandatory if the auto-differentiable number is a taped type. However, for the purpose of developing generic code, it can also be safely called for tapeless auto-differentiable numbers.

The operations that take place between this function call and that of stop_recording_operations() are recorded to the tape and can be replayed and reevaluated as necessary.

The typical set of operations to be performed during this "recording" phase (between the calls to start_recording_operations() and stop_recording_operations() ) are:

  • Definition of some independent variables via register_independent_variable() or register_independent_variables(). These define the branch of operations tracked by the tape. If the keep flag is set to true then these represent precisely the point about which the function derivatives are to be computed. If the keep flag is set to false then these only represent dummy values, and the point at which the function derivatives are to be computed must be set by calling set_independent_variables() again.
  • Extraction of a set of independent variables of auto-differentiable type using get_sensitive_variables(). These are then tracked during later computations.
  • Defining the dependent variables via register_dependent_variable() or register_dependent_variables(). These are the functions that will be differentiated with respect to the independent variables.
Parameters
[in]tape_indexThe index of the tape to be written
[in]overwrite_tapeExpress whether tapes are allowed to be overwritten. If true then any existing tape with a given tape_index will be destroyed and a new tape traced over it.
[in]keep_independent_valuesDetermines whether the numerical values of all independent variables are recorded in the tape buffer. If true, then the tape can be immediately used to perform computations after recording is complete.
Note
During the recording phase, no value(), gradient(), hessian(), or jacobian() operations can be performed.
The chosen tape index must be greater than Numbers<ad_type>::invalid_tape_index and less than Numbers<ad_type>::max_tape_index.

◆ stop_recording_operations()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::stop_recording_operations ( const bool  write_tapes_to_file = false)
inherited

Disable recording mode for a given tape. The use of this function is mandatory if the auto-differentiable number is a taped type. However, for the purpose of developing generic code, it can also be safely called for tapeless auto-differentiable numbers.

Note
After this function call, the tape is considered ready for use and operations such as value(), gradient() or hessian() can be executed.
For taped AD numbers, this operation is only valid in recording mode.

◆ activate_recorded_tape()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::activate_recorded_tape ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index  tape_index)
inherited

Select a pre-recorded tape to read from.

Parameters
[in]tape_indexThe index of the tape to be read from.
Note
The chosen tape index must be greater than Numbers<ad_type>::invalid_tape_index and less than Numbers<ad_type>::max_tape_index.

◆ recorded_tape_requires_retaping()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::recorded_tape_requires_retaping ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index  tape_index) const
inherited

Return a flag that, when true, indicates that the retaping of the dependent function is necessary for a reliable computation to be performed on a tape with the given tape_index. This may be necessary if a sign comparison within branched operations yields different results to those computed at the original tape evaluation point.

This issue, known as "branch switching", can be clarified by means of a trivial, contrived example:

ADNumberType func (ADNumberType x, ADNumberType y, ADNumberType z)
{
if (x < y)
return y;
else
return x*z;
}

During taping, the conditional statement may be either true or false, and the result (with its sensitivities) returned by this function. The AD library doesn't just record the parse tree of the operations applied on the branch chosen at the time to taping, but also checks that the condition continues to be satisfied. For some other evaluation of the tape (i.e. for some different inputs x and y), the other branch of the conditional check may be chosen. The result of following this code path has not been recorded on the tape, and therefore cannot be evaluated. In such a case, the underlying AD library will be able to tell you that it is necessary to re-record the tape at the new evaluation point in order to resolve the new code branch. This function can be used to find out whether this is so.

For the output of this function to be meaningful, it must be called after activate_recorded_tape() is called and the new evaluation point for the tape (i.e. values of the independent variables) have been set and subsequently used (i.e. in the determination of the values or derivatives of the dependent variables).

bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::active_tape_requires_retaping

◆ clear_active_tape()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::clear_active_tape
inherited

Clears and removes the currently active tape.

This is typically only necessary when branch switching is detected on the original tape at evaluation point. This state can be checked using the active_tape_requires_retaping() function.

◆ activate_tape()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::activate_tape ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index  tape_index,
const bool  read_mode 
)
protectedinherited

Select a tape to record to or read from.

This function activates a tape, but depending on whether read_mode is set, the tape is either taken as previously written to (and put into read-only mode), or cleared for (re-)taping.

Parameters
[in]tape_indexThe index of the tape to be written to/read from.
[in]read_modeA flag that marks whether or not we expect to read data from a preexisting tape.
Note
The chosen tape index must be greater than Numbers<ad_type>::invalid_tape_index and less than Numbers<ad_type>::max_tape_index.

◆ reset_registered_independent_variables()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::reset_registered_independent_variables

Definition at line 82 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ set_sensitivity_value()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::set_sensitivity_value ( const unsigned int  index,
const scalar_type &  value 
)
protectedinherited

Set the actual value of the independent variable \(X_{i}\).

Parameters
[in]indexThe index in the vector of independent variables.
[in]valueThe value to set the index'd independent variable to.

Definition at line 105 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ mark_independent_variable()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::mark_independent_variable ( const unsigned int  index,
ad_type &  out 
) const
protectedinherited

Initialize an independent variable \(X_{i}\) such that subsequent operations performed with it are tracked.

Note
Care must be taken to mark each independent variable only once.
The order in which the independent variables are marked defines the order of all future internal operations. They must be manipulated in the same order as that in which they are first marked. If not then, for example, ADOL-C won't throw an error, but rather it might complain nonsensically during later computations or produce garbage results.
Parameters
[in]indexThe index in the vector of independent variables.
[out]outAn auto-differentiable number that is ready for use in computations. The operations that are performed with it are recorded on the tape and will be considered in the computation of dependent variable values.

Definition at line 142 of file ad_helpers.cc.

◆ finalize_sensitive_independent_variables()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >
void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::finalize_sensitive_independent_variables
protectedinherited

Finalize the state of the independent variables before use.

This step and the storage of the independent variables is done separately because some derived classes may offer the capability to add independent variables in a staggered manner. This function is to be triggered when these values are considered finalized and we can safely initialize the sensitive equivalents of those values.

) const
protectedinherited

Initialize an independent variable \(X_{i}\).

Parameters
[out]outAn auto-differentiable number that is ready for use in standard computations. The operations that are performed with it are not recorded on the tape, and so should only be used when not in recording mode.
[in]indexThe index in the vector of independent variables.
