Detailed Description

Standardized data struct to pipe additional flags to the preconditioner. The parameter block_size sets the size of small blocks. It is recommended to choose this parameter not too large (a few hundreds at most) since this implementation uses a dense matrix for the block. The parameter block_creation_type allows to pass the strategy for finding the blocks to Ifpack. The parameter omega specifies the relaxation parameter in the SOR preconditioner. The parameter min_diagonal can be used to make the application of the preconditioner also possible when some diagonal elements are zero. In a default application this would mean that we divide by zero, so by setting the parameter min_diagonal to a small nonzero value the SOR will work on a matrix that is not too far away from the one we want to treat. Finally, overlap governs the overlap of the partitions when the preconditioner runs in parallel, forming a so-called additive Schwarz preconditioner.

AdditionalData()

TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::AdditionalData	(	const unsigned int	block_size = 1,
		const std::string &	block_creation_type = "linear",
		const double	omega = 1,
		const double	min_diagonal = 0,
		const unsigned int	overlap = 0,
		const unsigned int	n_sweeps = 1
	)

Constructor. By default, use a block size of 1, use linear subdivision of the rows, set the damping parameter to one, we do not modify the diagonal, and there is no overlap (i.e. in parallel, we run a BlockJacobi preconditioner, where each block is inverted approximately by a block SOR).

Member Data Documentation

block_size

unsigned int TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::block_size

This specifies the size of blocks.

Definition at line 756 of file trilinos_precondition.h.

block_creation_type

std::string TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::block_creation_type

Strategy for creation of blocks passed on to Ifpack block relaxation (variable 'partitioner: type') with this string as the given value. Available types in Ifpack include "linear" (i.e., divide the local range of the matrix in slices of the block size), "greedy" "metis". For a full list, see the documentation of Ifpack.

omega

double TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::omega

This specifies the (over-) relaxation parameter in the SOR preconditioner.

Definition at line 771 of file trilinos_precondition.h.

min_diagonal

double TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::min_diagonal

This specifies the minimum value the diagonal elements should have. This might be necessary when the SOR preconditioner is used on matrices with zero diagonal elements. In that case, a straight-forward application would not be possible since we divide by the diagonal element.

Definition at line 780 of file trilinos_precondition.h.

overlap

unsigned int TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::overlap

This determines how large the overlap of the local matrix portions on each processor in a parallel application should be.

Definition at line 786 of file trilinos_precondition.h.

n_sweeps

unsigned int TrilinosWrappers::PreconditionBlockSOR::AdditionalData::n_sweeps

Sets how many times the given operation should be applied during the vmult() operation.
