Detailed Description

Factory to build a set of status tests from a parameter list.

This object takes either an xml file name or a Teuchos::ParameterList and generates an entire set (a tree) of status tests for use in a NOX::Solver derived object.

The tagged_tests field in the constructors allows users to store tests from the tree in a flat list in case they want to change the tolerance values during a run. The tagged_tests flag is optional.

Please use the related nonmember functions instead of calling the factory directly (See example below).

Valid parameters are as follows:

Additional parameters valid for a Combo test (NOX::StatusTest::Combo):

  • "Combo Type" <std:string> Type of combo to use. Valid options are:

    • "AND"
    • "OR"

  • "Number of Tests" <int> Number of sublists that contain tests to be added to this combo test. The sublists must be named "Test X" where "X" represents the test number starting with 0 and preceeding to "Number of Tests - 1".

  • "Test X" <Teuchos::ParameterList> A sublist containing a test to add to the current combo test. The "X" represents the number of the test. the numbering starts with 0 and is valid through "Number of Tests - 1" tests.

Additional parameters valid for a Norm F test (NOX::StatusTest::NormF):

  • "Tolerance" <double> required tolerance for the test to return a converged status. (default = 1.0e-8)
  • "Norm Type" <std::string> Type of norm to use. Valid options are:
    • "Two Norm" (default)
    • "One Norm"
    • "Max Norm"
  • "Scale Type" <std::string> Type of scaling to use. Valid options are:
    • "Unscaled" (default)
    • "Scaled"
  • "Initial Guess" < Teuchos::RCP<NOX::Abstract::Group> > If present, a relative tolerance will be used where the group passed in will be used to compute $F_0$.

Additional parameters valid for a Norm Update test (NOX::StatusTest::NormUpdate):

  • "Tolerance" <double> required tolerance for the test to return a converged status. (default = 1.0e-3)
  • "Norm Type" <std::string> Type of norm to use. Valid options are:
    • "Two Norm" (default)
    • "One Norm"
    • "Max Norm"
  • "Scale Type" <std::string> Type of scaling to use. Valid options are:
    • "Unscaled" (default)
    • "Scaled"

Additional parameters valid for a Norm WRMS test (NOX::StatusTest::NormWRMS):

  • "Tolerance" <double> (default = 1.0)
  • "Relative Tolerance" <double> (default = 1.0e-5)
  • "Absolute Tolerance" <double> or < Teuchos::RCP<const NOX::Abstract::Vector> > (default = 1.0e-8)
  • "BDF Multiplier" <double> (default = 1.0)
  • "Alpha" <double> (default = 1.0)
  • "Beta" <double> (default = 0.5)

Additional parameters valid for a Maximum Iterations test (NOX::StatusTest::MaxIters):

  • "Maximum Iterations" <int>

Additional parameters valid for a Finite Value test (NOX::StatusTest::FiniteValue):

  • "Vector Type" <std::string> Type of vector to check. Valid options are:
    • "F Vector" (default)
    • "Solution Vector"
  • "Norm Type" <std::string> Type of norm to use. Valid options are:
    • "Two Norm" (default)
    • "One Norm"
    • "Max Norm"

Additional parameters valid for a Divergence test (NOX::StatusTest::Divergence):

  • "Tolerance" <double> (default = 1.0e+12)
  • "Consecutive Iterations" <int> (default = 1)

Additional parameters valid for a Stagnation test (NOX::StatusTest::Stagnation):

  • "Tolerance" <double> (default = 1.0e+12)
  • "Consecutive Iterations" <int> (default = 1)

Additional parameters valid for a RelativeNormF test (NOX::StatusTest::RelativeNormF):

  • "Tolerance" <double> required tolerance for the test to return a converged status. (default = 1.0e-8)
  • "Scale Norms by Length" <bool> if set to true, the norms are scaled by the length of the vector. (default = false)

Additional parameters valid for a NStep test (NOX::StatusTest::NStep):

  • "Number of Nonlinear Iterations" <int> Number of nonlinear iterations to take until convergence (default = 1)
  • "Number of Initial Ramping Steps" <int> Number of nonlinear solves in an initial ramping phase (default = 0)
  • "Number of Nonlinear Iterations in Ramping Phase" <int> Number of nonlinear iterations to take until convergence in ramping phase (default = 10)

Additional parameters valid for a "User Defined" test:

  • "User Status Test" < Teuchos::RCP<NOX::StatusTest::Generic> > A status test suppied by the user. It is very important that when registering this status test, that the user set it as a "Generic" object since there is no implicit casting on the ParameterList's get method. See the example below.

Example usage:

Teuchos::ParameterList stl;
stl.set("Test Type", "Combo");
stl.set("Combo Type", "OR");
stl.set("Number of Tests", 5);

Teuchos::ParameterList& divergence = stl.sublist("Test 2");
Teuchos::ParameterList& stagnation = stl.sublist("Test 3");
Teuchos::ParameterList& maxiters = stl.sublist("Test 4");
conv.set("Test Type", "Combo");
conv.set("Combo Type", "AND");
conv.set("Number of Tests", 4);
Teuchos::ParameterList& normF = conv.sublist("Test 0");
Teuchos::ParameterList& normWRMS = conv.sublist("Test 1");
Teuchos::ParameterList& normUpdate = conv.sublist("Test 2");
Teuchos::ParameterList& userDefined = conv.sublist("Test 3");
normF.set("Test Type", "NormF");
normF.set("Tolerance", 1.0e-12);
