pounce_sensitivity/solver.rs
1//! `Solver` — value-typed session API that holds an `IpoptApplication`,
2//! its TNLP, and the converged KKT factor between calls.
3//!
4//! This is Phase 3a of the factor-reuse work tracked in
5//! [pounce#16](https://github.com/jkitchin/pounce/issues/16). It is
6//! the public surface for callers who want to:
7//!
8//! 1. Run a normal IPM solve, then
9//! 2. Issue many cheap operations against the converged factor
10//! (`kkt_solve`, `parametric_step`) without going through the
11//! [`set_on_converged`] callback shape that [`crate::SensSolve`]
12//! requires.
13//!
14//! [`set_on_converged`]: pounce_algorithm::IpoptApplication::set_on_converged
15//!
16//! # Usage
17//!
18//! ```ignore
19//! use pounce_sensitivity::Solver;
20//! use std::cell::RefCell;
21//! use std::rc::Rc;
22//!
23//! let app = make_configured_app();
24//! let tnlp: Rc<RefCell<dyn TNLP>> = Rc::new(RefCell::new(MyTnlp));
25//! let mut solver = Solver::new(app, tnlp);
26//!
27//! let status = solver.solve();
28//! assert!(solver.converged().is_some());
29//!
30//! // Issue any number of back-solves against the same factor:
31//! let dim = solver.kkt_dim().unwrap();
32//! let mut lhs = vec![0.0; dim];
33//! let rhs = vec![1.0; dim];
34//! solver.kkt_solve(&rhs, &mut lhs).unwrap();
35//!
36//! // Parametric step with respect to a set of pinned equality
37//! // constraints (same interpretation as [`crate::SensSolve`]):
38//! let dx = solver.parametric_step(&[2, 3], &[-0.5, 0.0]).unwrap();
39//! ```
40//!
41//! # Scope of Phase 3a
42//!
43//! - **In**: `solve()`, `converged()`, `kkt_solve()`, `parametric_step()`,
44//! `block_dims()` / `kkt_dim()`.
45//! - **Deferred to Phase 3b**: `resolve()` (warm-start that reuses the
46//! linear backend pool), `compute_reduced_hessian()` on the Solver
47//! (currently only available through [`crate::SensSolve`]), and the
48//! `parametric_mpc` / `sensitivity_session` example binaries.
