Detailed Description

FirstOrderODE is a class wrapping mfem::TimeDependentOperator so that the user can use std::function to define the implementations of mfem::TimeDependentOperator::Mult and mfem::TimeDependentOperator::ImplicitSolve.

The main benefit of this approach is that lambda capture lists allow for a flexible inline representation of the overloaded functions, without having to manually define a separate functor class.

Member Data Documentation

epsilon

constexpr double serac::mfem_ext::FirstOrderODE::epsilon = 0.000001

staticconstexpr

a small number used to compute finite difference approximations to time derivatives of boundary conditions.

Note: this is intended to be temporary Ideally, epsilon should be "small" relative to the characteristic time of the ODE, but we can't ensure that at present (we don't have a critical timestep estimate)
