Detailed Description

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
class PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >

Interface to PETSc SNES solver for nonlinear equations. The SNES solver is described in the PETSc manual.

This class solves the nonlinear system of algebraic equations \(F(x) = 0\).

The interface to PETSc is realized by means of std::function callbacks like in the TrilinosWrappers::NOXSolver and SUNDIALS::KINSOL classes.

NonlinearSolver supports any vector and matrix type having constructors and methods:

class VectorType : public EnableObserverPointer
...
explicit VectorType(Vec);
...
Vec & petsc_vector();
...
class MatrixType : public EnableObserverPointer
...
explicit MatrixType(Mat);
...
Mat & petsc_matrix();
...

In particular, the supported types are the ones that can wrap PETSc's native vector and matrix classes, that are able to modify them in place, and that can return PETSc native types when requested.

To use the solvers the user needs to provide the implementation of \(F\) via the NonlinearSolver::residual callback.

The default linearization procedure of a solver instantiated with this class consists in using Jacobian-Free-Newton-Krylov; the action of tangent matrices inside a linear solver process are approximated via matrix-free finite-differencing of the nonlinear residual equations. For details, consult the PETSc manual.

Users can also provide the implementations of the Jacobian. This can be accomplished in two ways:

NonlinearSolver::set_matrices() must be used in case the user wants to provide the iteration matrix of the tangent system in the deal.II style approach, thus replacing the matrix-free linearization.

The correctness of the constructed Jacobians passed using NonlinearSolver::set_matrix() can be checked using

./myApp -snes_test_jacobian

See NonlinearSolver::set_matrix() and NonlinearSolver::set_matrices() for additional details.

The deal.II style approach still allows command line customization, like for example,

./myApp -snes_type newtontr -ksp_type cg

in case the user wants to change the default nonlinear solver to a trust region solver and iterate on the matrix-free tangent system with CG, still using NonlinearSolver::solve_with_jacobian as a preconditioner.

The PETSc style approach has instead the advantage that only the matrix assembly procedure has to be implemented, thus allowing quicker implementations and faster turnaround for experimenting with linear solver preconditioning configurations via command line customizations, like for example,

./myApp -ksp_type cg -pc_type gamg

In case the nonlinear equations are derived from energy minimization arguments, it may be beneficial to perform linesearch or test trust-region model reductions using the energy functional. In such cases, users can set an optional NonlinearSolver::energy callback.

Note
This class, function, or variable is a template, and it can only be instantiated if the following condition is true: If your compiler supports the C++20 standard, then this constraint will be enforced by a C++20 requires clause.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator SNES()

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::operator SNES ( ) const

Conversion operator to gain access to the underlying PETSc type. If you do this, you cut this class off some information it may need, so this conversion operator should only be used if you know what you do.

◆ petsc_snes()

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
SNES PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::petsc_snes ( )

Return the PETSc SNES object.

◆ get_mpi_communicator()

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
MPI_Comm PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::get_mpi_communicator ( ) const

Return the underlying MPI communicator.

◆ reinit() [1/2]

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
void PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::reinit ( )

Reset the solver, it does not change the customization.

◆ reinit() [2/2]

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
void PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::reinit ( const NonlinearSolverData data)

Reset solver. Change customization according to data.

◆ set_matrix()

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
void PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::set_matrix ( PMatrixType &  P)

Set the preconditioning matrix only.

When used with NonlinearSolver::setup_jacobian and NonlinearSolver::solve_with_jacobian, PETSc will approximate the linear system matrix-vector product using an internal matrix-free representation.

When used with NonlinearSolver::jacobian PETSc will use the same matrix for both preconditioning and matrix-vector products.

◆ set_matrices()

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
void PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::set_matrices ( AMatrixType &  A,
PMatrixType &  P 
)

Set both the linear system matrix and the preconditioning matrix that PETSc will use (can be the same matrix). In this case, the Jacobian-Free-Newton-Krylov approach will not be used.

◆ solve() [1/3]

template<typename VectorType = PETScWrappers::VectorBase, typename PMatrixType = PETScWrappers::MatrixBase, typename AMatrixType = PMatrixType>
unsigned int PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::solve ( VectorType &  x)

Solve the nonlinear system of equations \(F(x) = 0\).

This function returns the number of iterations. The vector x must contain the initial guess. Upon returning, the x vector contains the solution.

◆ energy

std::function<void(const VectorType &x, real_type &energy_value)> PETScWrappers::NonlinearSolver< VectorType, PMatrixType, AMatrixType >::energy

Callback for the computation of the energy function.

This is usually not needed, since by default SNES assumes that the objective function to be minimized is \(\frac{1}{2} || F(x) ||^2 \).

However, if the nonlinear equations are derived from energy arguments, it may be useful to use this callback to perform linesearch or to test for the reduction in a trust region step.

The value of the energy function must be returned in energy_value.

This variable represents a user provided callback. See there for a description of how to deal with errors and other requirements and conventions.
