GALAHAD FIT package

purpose

The fit package fits polynomials to function and derivative data.

Currently only the options and inform dictionaries are exposed; these are provided and used by other GALAHAD packages with Python interfaces. Please contact us if you would like full functionality!

See Section 4 of $GALAHAD/doc/fit.pdf for a brief description of the method employed and other details.

parametric real type T

Below, the symbol T refers to a parametric real type that may be Float32 (single precision) or Float64 (double precision).

callable functions

    function fit_initialize(T, data, control, status)

Set default control values and initialize private data

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
control	is a structure containing control information (see fit_control_type)
status	is a scalar variable of type Int32 that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are (currently): 0 The initialization was successful.

    function fit_information(T, data, inform, status)

Provides output information

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
inform	is a structure containing output information (see fit_inform_type)
status	is a scalar variable of type Int32 that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are (currently): 0 The values were recorded successfully

    function fit_terminate(T, data, control, inform)

Deallocate all internal private storage

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
control	is a structure containing control information (see fit_control_type)
inform	is a structure containing output information (see fit_inform_type)

available structures

fit_control_type structure

    struct fit_control_type
      f_indexing::Bool
      error::Int32
      out::Int32
      print_level::Int32
      space_critical::Bool
      deallocate_error_fatal::Bool
      prefix::NTuple{31,Cchar}

detailed documentation

control derived type as a Julia structure

components

Bool f_indexing

use C or Fortran sparse matrix indexing

Int32 error

error and warning diagnostics occur on stream error

Int32 out

general output occurs on stream out

Int32 print_level

the level of output required is specified by print_level

Bool space_critical

if space_critical is true, every effort will be made to use as little space as possible. This may result in longer computation times

Bool deallocate_error_fatal

if deallocate_error_fatal is true, any array/pointer deallocation error will terminate execution. Otherwise, computation will continue

NTuple{31,Cchar} prefix

all output lines will be prefixed by .prefix(2:LEN(TRIM(.prefix))-1) where .prefix contains the required string enclosed in quotes, e.g. “string” or ‘string’

fit_inform_type structure

    struct fit_inform_type
      status::Int32
      alloc_status::Int32
      bad_alloc::NTuple{81,Cchar}

detailed documentation

inform derived type as a Julia structure

components

Int32 status

return status. Possible values are:

• 0

  Normal termination with the required fit.

• -1

  An allocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error, and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively.

• -2

  A deallocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively.

• -3

  the restriction n >= 1 has been violated.

Int32 alloc_status

the status of the last attempted allocation/deallocation.

NTuple{81,Cchar} bad_alloc

the name of the array for which an allocation/deallocation error

occurred.
