SNESCompositeType#

Determines how two or more preconditioners are composed with the SNESType of SNESCOMPOSITE

Synopsis#

typedef enum {
  SNES_COMPOSITE_ADDITIVE,
  SNES_COMPOSITE_MULTIPLICATIVE,
  SNES_COMPOSITE_ADDITIVEOPTIMAL
} SNESCompositeType;

Values#

SNES_COMPOSITE_ADDITIVE - results from application of all preconditioners are added together
SNES_COMPOSITE_MULTIPLICATIVE - preconditioners are applied sequentially to the residual freshly computed after the previous preconditioner application
SNES_COMPOSITE_ADDITIVEOPTIMAL - uses a linear combination of the solutions obtained with each preconditioner that approximately minimize the function value at the new iteration.
