TaoGetConvergenceHistory

Gets the arrays used to hold the convergence history.

Synopsis

#include "petsctao.h" 
PetscErrorCode TaoGetConvergenceHistory(Tao tao, PetscReal **obj, PetscReal **resid, PetscReal **cnorm, PetscInt **lits, PetscInt *nhist)

Collective on Tao

Input Parameter

tao -the Tao context

Output Parameters

	obj	- array used to hold objective value history
	resid	- array used to hold residual history
	cnorm	- array used to hold constraint violation history
	lits	- integer array used to hold linear solver iteration count
	nhist	- size of obj, resid, cnorm, and lits (will be less than or equal to na given in TaoSetHistory)

Notes

This routine must be preceded by calls to TaoSetConvergenceHistory() and TaoSolve(), otherwise it returns useless information.

The calling sequence for this routine in Fortran is

  call TaoGetConvergenceHistory(Tao tao, PetscInt nhist, PetscErrorCode ierr)

This routine is useful, e.g., when running a code for purposes of accurate performance monitoring, when no I/O should be done during the section of code that is being timed.
