Classes
class	oomph::LinearSolver
	Base class for all linear solvers. This merely defines standard interfaces for linear solvers, so that different solvers can be used in a clean and transparent manner. Note that LinearSolvers are primarily used to solve the linear systems arising in oomph-lib's Newton iteration. Their primary solve function therefore takes a pointer to the associated problem, construct its Jacobian matrix and residual vector, and return the solution of the linear system formed by the Jacobian and the residual vector. We also provide broken virtual interfaces to a linear-algebra-type solve function in which the matrix and the rhs can be specified, but this are not guaranteed to implemented for all linear solvers (e.g. for frontal solvers).

class	oomph::DenseLU
	Dense LU decomposition-based solve of full assembled linear system. VERY inefficient but useful to illustrate the principle. Only suitable for use with Serial matrices and vectors. This solver will only work with non-distributed matrices and vectors (note: DenseDoubleMatrix is not distributable) More...

class	oomph::FD_LU
	Dense LU decomposition-based solve of linear system assembled via finite differencing of the residuals Vector. Even more inefficient than DenseLU but excellent sanity check! More...

class	oomph::SuperLUSolver
