[aspect-devel] non-linear iterations

[Markus Bürg]

Hello Anne,

I think that I have implemented those two schemes some time ago. You are 
right that they will not suffice for your current needs. I am currently 
working on implementing a fully nonlinear solver for another project. 
Though, I do not know when it will finally make its way into Aspect yet. 
Therefore, I suppose that we try to hack a solver, which is suitable for 
you, into Aspect right now and perhabs update the library to a more 
advanced version later on when that one is finished.

In this sense: Could you please send me a little bit more information 
about what you want to solve off the list directly by e-mail? Then, we 
can figure out a way how to get it done.

Thanks,
Markus
