Module Sundials_LinearSolver

module Sundials_LinearSolver: sig .. end

Generic linear solvers.

Sundials provides a set of functions for instantiating linear solvers from two families: Sundials_LinearSolver.Direct and Sundials_LinearSolver.Iterative. Any instance may be associated with at most one solver session.


type ('matrix, 'data, 'kind, 'tag) t = ('matrix, 'data, 'kind, 'tag) linear_solver 

A linear solver. The type variables specify the Jacobian matrix ('matrix), the Nvector.nvector data ('data) and kind ('kind), and a 'tag used to identify specific solver features (like the iterative method).

A linear solver of this type must be converted to session-specific form by Cvode.Dls.solver, Ida.Dls.solver, Cvode.Spils.solver, Ida.Spils.solver, etc., before being attached to a session via init or reinit.

type ('mat, [> Nvector_serial.kind ], 'tag) serial_t = ('mat, Nvector_serial.data, [> Nvector_serial.kind ] as 'kind, 'tag)
t

Alias for linear solvers that are restricted to serial nvectors.

type linear_solver_type = 
| Direct (*

Broadly classifies the operations provided by a linear solver and its operating principle.

Callback Routines

type 'data atimesfn = 'data -> 'data -> unit 

A function atimesfn v z computes the action of the system matrix on the vector v, storing the result in z. The matrix is represented implicitly by the effect of the function.

If a problem occurs the function raises Sundials_LinearSolver.ATimesFailure.

type psetupfn = unit -> unit 

Functions that set up any problem data in preparation for calls to psolvefn.

If a problem occurs the function raises Sundials_LinearSolver.PSetFailure.

type 'data psolvefn = 'data -> 'data -> float -> bool -> unit 

A function psolvefn r z tol lr that solves the preconditioner equation $Pz = r$ for the vector z such that $\left\lVert Pz - r \right\rVert_\mathrm{wrms} < \mathit{tol}$ . If lr is true then $P$ should be treated as a left preconditioner and otherwise as a right preconditioner.

If a problem occurs the function raises Sundials_LinearSolver.PSolveFailure.

Operations

val set_atimes : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
'd atimesfn -> unit

Set the linear solver's problem-specific Sundials_LinearSolver.atimesfn.

val set_preconditioner : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
psetupfn -> 'd psolvefn -> unit

Set the linear solver's preconditioner routines.

val set_scaling_vectors : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
('d, 'k) Nvector.t -> ('d, 'k) Nvector.t -> unit

Sets the linear solver's left/right scaling vectors for use in Sundials_LinearSolver.solve. The call set_scaling_vectors ls s1 s2 provides diagonal matrices of scale factors for solving the system $\tilde{A}\tilde{x} = \tilde{b}$ where $\tilde{A} = S_1 P_1^{-1} A P_2^{-1} S_2^{-1}$ , $\tilde{b} = S_1 P_1^{-1} b$ , and $\tilde{x} = S_2 P_2 x$ .

Note that the underlying data structures may be used directly by the linear solver, i.e., without a copy.

val set_zero_guess : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> bool -> unit

Indicates that the next call to Sundials_LinearSolver.solve will be made with a zero initial guess.

val init : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> unit

Initializes a linear solver.

val setup : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
('a, 'm, 'd, 'k) Sundials.Matrix.t -> unit

Instruct the linear solver to prepare to solve using an updated system matrix.

val solve : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
('a, 'm, 'd, 'k) Sundials.Matrix.t ->
('d, 'k) Nvector.t -> ('d, 'k) Nvector.t -> float -> unit

Solve a linear system. The call solve ls a x b tol solves the linear system $Ax = b$ .

Direct solvers ignore tol. Matrix-free solvers ignore a, relying instead on the function passed to Sundials_LinearSolver.set_atimes. Iterative solvesr attempt to respect the weighted 2-norm tolerance, tol.

val get_num_iters : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> int

The number of linear iterations performed in the last Sundials_LinearSolver.solve call.

val get_res_norm : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> float

The final residual norm from the last Sundials_LinearSolver.solve call.

val get_res_id : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> 'd

The preconditioned initial residual vector. May be called when an iterative method computes the preconditioned initial residual and Sundials_LinearSolver.solve succeeds without performing any iterations, i.e., if the intial guess or the preconditioner is sufficiently accurate.

The linear solver may return a reference to its internal array, i.e., it may not return a copy.

val get_type : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
linear_solver_type

Returns the type of the linear solver.

val get_id : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t ->
linear_solver_id

Returns the identifier of the linear solver.

val get_last_flag : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> int

Returns an indication of the last error encountered by a linear solver.

val get_work_space : ('m, 'd, 'k, 't) t -> int * int

The storage requirements of the linear solver. The result (lrw, liw) gives the number of words used for storing real values (lrw) and the number of words used for storing integer values (liw).

Exceptions

exception InvalidLinearSolver

Raised on an attempt to associate a linear solver instance with more than one session.

exception ATimesFailure of bool

Indicates failure of an atimes function. The argument is true for a recoverable failure and false for an unrecoverable one.

exception PSetFailure of bool

Indicates failure of a preconditioner setup routine. The argument is true for a recoverable failure and false for an unrecoverable one.
