[Trilinos-Users] Using NOX to solve nonlinear problem with analytic Jacobian

[Roger Pawlowski]

Hi David,

How big is the system you want to solve?  If it is small enough to use 
direct solvers, then you can probably use the lapack support.  A simple 
example with an analytic Jacobian is in 
nox/examples/lapack/NOX_SimpleExamples/Rosenbrock.C.  If you are looking 
for large-scale parallel nonlinear solvers, you will need the epetra 
support.  An example of a parallel 1D finite element problem with an 
analytic Jacobian is in nox/test/epetra/1Dfem/1DfemScaled.C.
