Detailed Description

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

A helper class that facilitates the evaluation and automated linearization of a vector of functions that represents a residual vector (as computed from some corresponding local degree of freedom values). This class would typically be used to compute the linearization of a residual vector defined on the level of a cell, or for local nonlinear equations.

An example of its usage in the case of a residual linearization might be as follows (in this case we'll compute the linearization of a finite-strain magneto-elastic solid from the residual, as constructed from the Piola-Kirchoff stress and magnetic induction assuming the magnetic scalar potential formulation):

// Existing data structures:
Vector<double> solution (...); // Or another vector type
std::vector<types::global_dof_index> local_dof_indices (...);
const FEValuesExtractors::Vector u_fe (...);
const FEValuesExtractors::Scalar msp_fe (...);
const unsigned int u_block (...);
const unsigned int msp_block (...);
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();
  const unsigned int n_dependent_variables
    = local_dof_indices.size();
 
  // Create some aliases for the AD helper.
  // In this example, we strictly assume that we're using tapeless
  // AD types, and so the AD_typecode used in the template argument
  // must refer to one of these types. See the example for the
  // EnergyFunctional for details on how to extend
  // support to taped AD numbers.
  using ADHelper = AD::ResidualLinearization<...>;
  using ADNumberType = typename ADHelper::ad_type;
 
  // Create and initialize an instance of the helper class.
  ADHelper ad_helper(n_independent_variables,n_dependent_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_dependent_variables);
  cell_matrix.reinit(n_independent_variables,n_dependent_variables);
 
  // This next code block corresponds to the "recording" phase, where
  // the operations performed with the AD numbers are tracked and
  // differentiation is performed.
  {
    // 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.
    const std::vector<ADNumberType> dof_values_ad
      = ad_helper.get_sensitive_dof_values();
 
    // Then we do some problem specific tasks, the first being to

    // scalar potential field.

      dof_values_ad, Grad_msp);
 
    // This variable stores the cell residual vector contributions.
    // IMPORTANT: Note that each entry is hand-initialized with a value
    // of zero. This is a highly recommended practise, as some AD

          fe.system_to_base_index(I).first.first;

            * fe_values[u_fe].gradient(I,q_point));
 
          residual_ad[I] += (dE_I*S) * JxW;
        }
        else if (block_I == msp_block)
        {
          // Variation of the magnetic field vector associated with
          // the I'th scalar-valued basis function
          const Tensor<1,dim,double> dH_I
            = -fe_values[msp_fe].gradient(I, q_point);
 
          residual_ad[I] -= (dH_I*B) * JxW;
        }
      }
    }
 
    // Add contribution from external sources. If these contributions
    // are also solution dependent then they will also be consistently
    // linearized.
    // Loop over faces and accumulate external contributions into the
    // cell total residual.
    for (const unsigned int face : ...)
      if (cell->face(face)->at_boundary())
        residual_ad[I] += ...
 
    // Register the definition of the cell residual
    ad_helper.register_residual_vector(residual_ad);
  }
 
  // Compute the residual values and their Jacobian at the
  // evaluation point
  ad_helper.compute_residual(cell_rhs);
  cell_rhs *= -1.0; // RHS = - residual
  ad_helper.compute_linearization(cell_matrix);
}

In most use cases, and in particular in the code example shown above, both the number of independent and dependent 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.

void Differentiation::AD::ResidualLinearization< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::register_residual_vector

(

const std::vector< ad_type > &

residual

)

Register the definition of the cell residual vector \(\mathbf{r}(\mathbf{X})\).

Parameters

[in]

residual

A vector of recorded functions that defines the residual. The components of this vector represents the dependent variables.

Note

For this class that expects only vector fields of dependent variables, this function must only be called once per tape.

For taped AD numbers, this operation is only valid in recording mode.

Definition at line 1016 of file ad_helpers.cc.

compute_residual()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >

void Differentiation::AD::ResidualLinearization< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::compute_residual ( Vector< scalar_type > & residual ) const

overridevirtual

Evaluation of the residual for a chosen set of degree of freedom values. This corresponds to the computation of the residual vector, i.e.

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

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

Parameters

[out]

residual

A 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_dependent_variables.

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

compute_linearization()

template<enum AD::NumberTypes ADNumberTypeCode, typename ScalarType >

void Differentiation::AD::ResidualLinearization< 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 gradient (first derivative) of the residual vector \(\mathbf{r}\) with respect to all independent variables, i.e.

\[ \frac{\partial\mathbf{r}(\mathbf{X})}{\partial\mathbf{X}} \]

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

Parameters

[out]

linearization

A FullMatrix representing the linearization of the residual vector. The output linearization matrix has dimensions corresponding to n_dependent_variables \(\times\)n_independent_variables.

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

register_dof_values() [1/2]

void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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_values

A 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.

Definition at line 903 of file ad_helpers.cc.

register_dof_values() [2/2]

void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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]	values	A 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_indices	A 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()

const std::vector< typename CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::ad_type > & Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::get_sensitive_dof_values ( ) const

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 950 of file ad_helpers.cc.

set_dof_values() [1/2]

void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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_values

A 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 979 of file ad_helpers.cc.

set_dof_values() [2/2]

void Differentiation::AD::CellLevelBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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]	values	A vector field from which the values of all independent variables is to be extracted.
[in]	local_dof_indices	A 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()

std::size_t Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::n_independent_variables ( ) const

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 224 of file ad_helpers.cc.

n_dependent_variables()

std::size_t Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::n_dependent_variables ( ) const

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 231 of file ad_helpers.cc.

print()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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]

stream

The output stream to which the values are to be written.

Definition at line 242 of file ad_helpers.cc.

print_values()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::print_values ( std::ostream & stream ) const

inherited

Print the values currently assigned to the independent variables.

Parameters

[in]

stream

The output stream to which the values are to be written.

Definition at line 251 of file ad_helpers.cc.

print_tape_stats()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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_index	The index of the tape to get the statistics of.
[out]	stream	The 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 264 of file ad_helpers.cc.

configure_tapeless_mode()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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 293 of file ad_helpers.cc.

reset()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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_variables	The 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_variables	The 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_tapes	A 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 >.

Definition at line 339 of file ad_helpers.cc.

is_recording()

bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::is_recording ( ) const

inherited

Return whether or not this class is tracking calculations performed with its marked independent variables.

Definition at line 350 of file ad_helpers.cc.

active_tape_index()

Types< typenameHelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::ad_type >::tape_index Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::active_tape_index ( ) const

inherited

Return the tape index which is currently activated for recording or reading.

Definition at line 357 of file ad_helpers.cc.

is_registered_tape()

bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::is_registered_tape ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index tape_index ) const

inherited

Return whether or not a tape number has already been used or registered.

Definition at line 364 of file ad_helpers.cc.

set_tape_buffer_sizes()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::set_tape_buffer_sizes ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_buffer_sizes obufsize = 64 * 1024 * 1024, const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_buffer_sizes lbufsize = 64 * 1024 * 1024, const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_buffer_sizes vbufsize = 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]	obufsize	ADOL-C operations buffer size
[in]	lbufsize	ADOL-C locations buffer size
[in]	vbufsize	ADOL-C value buffer size
[in]	tbufsize	ADOL-C Taylor buffer size

bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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_index	The index of the tape to be written
[in]	overwrite_tape	Express 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_values	Determines 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()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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.

Definition at line 466 of file ad_helpers.cc.

activate_recorded_tape()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::activate_recorded_tape ( const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index tape_index )

inherited

Select a pre-recorded tape to read from.

Parameters

[in]

tape_index

The 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()

bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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).

active_tape_requires_retaping()

bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::active_tape_requires_retaping ( ) 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 the currently active tape. This may be necessary if a sign comparison within branched operations yields different results to those computed at the original tape evaluation point.

clear_active_tape()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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.

Definition at line 574 of file ad_helpers.cc.

activate_tape()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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_index	The index of the tape to be written to/read from.
[in]	read_mode	A 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()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::reset_registered_independent_variables ( )

protectedinherited

Reset the boolean vector registered_independent_variable_values that indicates which independent variables we've been manipulating for the current set of operations.

Definition at line 664 of file ad_helpers.cc.

set_sensitivity_value()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::set_sensitivity_value ( const unsigned int index, const scalar_type & value )

protectedinherited

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

Parameters

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

Definition at line 673 of file ad_helpers.cc.

mark_independent_variable()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::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]	index	The index in the vector of independent variables.
[out]	out	An 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 694 of file ad_helpers.cc.

finalize_sensitive_independent_variables()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::finalize_sensitive_independent_variables ( ) const

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.

Definition at line 707 of file ad_helpers.cc.

initialize_non_sensitive_independent_variable()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::initialize_non_sensitive_independent_variable ( const unsigned int index, ad_type & out ) const

protectedinherited

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

Parameters

[out]	out	An 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]	index	The index in the vector of independent variables.

Definition at line 719 of file ad_helpers.cc.

n_registered_independent_variables()

Definition at line 727 of file ad_helpers.cc.

reset_registered_dependent_variables()

void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::reset_registered_dependent_variables ( const bool flag = false )

protectedinherited

Reset the boolean vector registered_marked_dependent_variables that indicates which independent variables have been manipulated by the current set of operations. All entries in the vector are set to the value of the flag.

Definition at line 762 of file ad_helpers.cc.

n_registered_dependent_variables()

unsigned int Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, double >::n_registered_dependent_variables ( ) const

protectedinherited

The number of dependent variables that have been registered.

Definition at line 768 of file ad_helpers.cc.

[in]	func	The recorded function that defines a dependent variable.

Note

Each dependent variable must only be registered once.
