8. KINSOL Documentation

This is the documentation for KINSOL, a solver for nonlinear algebraic systems. It includes a Newton-Krylov solver as well as Picard and fixed point solvers, both of which can be accelerated with Anderson acceleration. KINSOL is based on the previous Fortran package NKSOL of Brown and Saad.

KINSOL is written in C, with C++ and Fortran interfaces.

This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.
