Find a root of a function, using Krylov approximation for inverse Jacobian.
This method is suitable for solving large-scale problems.
Parameters ---------- %(params_basic)s rdiff : float, optional Relative step size to use in numerical differentiation. method : 'lgmres', 'gmres', 'bicgstab', 'cgs', 'minres' or function Krylov method to use to approximate the Jacobian. Can be a string, or a function implementing the same interface as the iterative solvers in `scipy.sparse.linalg`.
The default is `scipy.sparse.linalg.lgmres`. inner_M : LinearOperator or InverseJacobian Preconditioner for the inner Krylov iteration. Note that you can use also inverse Jacobians as (adaptive) preconditioners. For example,
>>> from scipy.optimize.nonlin import BroydenFirst, KrylovJacobian >>> from scipy.optimize.nonlin import InverseJacobian >>> jac = BroydenFirst() >>> kjac = KrylovJacobian(inner_M=InverseJacobian(jac))
If the preconditioner has a method named 'update', it will be called as ``update(x, f)`` after each nonlinear step, with ``x`` giving the current point, and ``f`` the current function value. inner_tol, inner_maxiter, ... Parameters to pass on to the \'inner\' Krylov solver. See `scipy.sparse.linalg.gmres` for details. outer_k : int, optional Size of the subspace kept across LGMRES nonlinear iterations. See `scipy.sparse.linalg.lgmres` for details. %(params_extra)s
See Also -------- root : Interface to root finding algorithms for multivariate functions. See ``method=='krylov'`` in particular. scipy.sparse.linalg.gmres scipy.sparse.linalg.lgmres
Notes ----- This function implements a Newton-Krylov solver. The basic idea is to compute the inverse of the Jacobian with an iterative Krylov method. These methods require only evaluating the Jacobian-vector products, which are conveniently approximated by a finite difference:
.. math:: J v \approx (f(x + \omega*v/|v|) - f(x)) / \omega
Due to the use of iterative matrix inverses, these methods can deal with large nonlinear problems.
SciPy's `scipy.sparse.linalg` module offers a selection of Krylov solvers to choose from. The default here is `lgmres`, which is a variant of restarted GMRES iteration that reuses some of the information obtained in the previous Newton steps to invert Jacobians in subsequent steps.
