class LinearSOESolver: public Solver

MovableObject
Solver

LinearSOESolver is an abstract class. A LinearSOESolver object is responsible for solving the LinearSOE object that it is associated with. That is, to find \(x\) such that the matrix equation \(Ax=b\) is satisfied.

The integer classTag is passed to the Solver.

Does nothing. Provided so the subclasses destructor will be called.

Causes the LinearSOESolver to solve the system of equations \(Ax=b\) for \(x\). Returns \(0\) if successful , negative number if not; the actual value depending on the type of LinearSOESolver. The result of the solve are to be stored in the \(x\) vector of the LinearSOE by the object.

This is invoked by the LinearSOE object when setSize() has been invoked on it. Solvers may sometimes need to store additional data that needs to be updated if the size of the system of equation changes.
