Detailed Description

Callable abstract base class to be used as a callback to provide the solver with a basis for the system's Jacobian's nullspace (the kernel or the "zero energy modes") or near-nullspace (the "low energy modes").

A nullspace can be used to solve a degenerate problem iteratively (e.g., with a Krylov subspace method). A near nullspace can be used by an Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) preconditioner to construct smoothed- aggregation-like coarse spaces.

pure virtual

This function will be called to compute the subspace basis (e.g., nullspace or nearnullspace).

It must be implemented by the user in a derived class.
