Detailed Description

A namespace in which we declare typedefs for types used in deal.II, as well as special values for these types.


Typedef Documentation

The type used to denote subdomain_ids of cells.

See the glossary for more information.

Definition at line 34 of file types.h.

The type used to denote global dof indices.

Definition at line 73 of file types.h.


Variable Documentation

const unsigned int types::invalid_subdomain_id = static_cast<subdomain_id_t>(-1)

A special id for an invalid subdomain id. This value may not be used as a valid id but is used, for example, for default arguments to indicate a subdomain id that is not to be used.

See the glossary for more information.

Definition at line 48 of file types.h.

The subdomain id assigned to a cell whose true subdomain id we don't know, for example because it resides on a different processor on a mesh that is kept distributed on many processors. Such cells are called "artificial".

See the glossary entries on subdomain ids and artificial cells as well as the Parallel computing with multiple processors using distributed memory module for more information.

Definition at line 67 of file types.h.

An invalid value for indices of degrees of freedom.

Definition at line 79 of file types.h.
