Used by iterative methods to determine whether the iteration should be continued. To this respect, the virtual function check() is called in each iteration with the current iteration step and the value indicating convergence (usually the residual).
After the iteration has terminated, the functions last_value and last_step can be used to obtain information about the final state of the iteration.
check() can be replaced in derived classes to allow for more sophisticated tests.
The return states of the check function are of type State, which is an enum local to this class. It indicates the state the solver is in.
The possible values of State are
iterate = 0: continue the iteration. success: the goal is reached, the iterative method can terminate successfully. failure: the iterative method should stop because convergence could not be achieved or at least was not achieved within the given maximal number of iterations. | enum SolverControl::State |
| SolverControl::SolverControl | ( | const unsigned int | n = 100, |
|
| const double | tol = 1.e-10, |
|||
| const bool | log_history = false, |
|||
| const bool | log_result = true | |||
| ) |
Constructor. The parameters n and tol are the maximum number of iteration steps before failure and the tolerance to determine success of the iteration.
log_history specifies whether the history (i.e. the value to be checked and the number of the iteration step) shall be printed to deallog stream. Default is: do not print. Similarly, log_result specifies the whether the final result is logged to deallog. Default is yes.
| virtual SolverControl::~SolverControl | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Virtual destructor is needed as there are virtual functions in this class.
| static void SolverControl::declare_parameters | ( | ParameterHandler & | param | ) | [static] |
Interface to parameter file.
Reimplemented in ReductionControl.
| void SolverControl::parse_parameters | ( | ParameterHandler & | param | ) |
Read parameters from file.
Reimplemented in ReductionControl.
Decide about success or failure of an iteration. This function gets the current iteration step to determine, whether the allowed number of steps has been exceeded and returns failure in this case. If check_value is below the prescribed tolerance, it returns success. In all other cases iterate is returned to suggest continuation of the iterative procedure.
The iteration is also aborted if the residual becomes a denormalized value (NaN). Note, however, that this check is only performed if the isnan function is provided by the operating system, which is not always true. The configure scripts checks for this and sets the flag HAVE_ISNAN in the file Make.global_options if this function was found.
check() additionally preserves step and check_value. These values are accessible by last_value() and last_step().
Derived classes may overload this function, e.g. to log the convergence indicators (check_value) or to do other computations.
