Detailed Description

template<class Vec, class Ops>
class NonlinearSolver< Vec, Ops >

Top-level class for the nonlinear solver.

This class is templated on a vector class Vec, and an operator class Ops.

The Ops class must have the following function: ComputeRHS( R_vec, U_vec, time, nl_iter, from_jacobian ), where U_vec and R_vec are of type Vec.

The Vec class must have basic math operators, such as Copy, +=, -=, increment(), linComb(), scale(), etc.. See WarpXSolverVec.H for an example.
