using CG when A is function handle

Specific Domains
1

I am trying to use CG from the IterativeSolvers.jl solver. I have “A” as a matrix-free operator but it is build using nested functions. Is linear map works for “A” inside of which there are several function calls? I do not find an example in the test folder where I can setup CG solver when A is a function handle.

Here is how to do it. I am assuming you are on Julia v0.6.

using IterativeSolvers

struct MyLinearMap{TM}
	A::TM
end

# You will need to define these functions for your type

Base.A_mul_B!(c, L::MyLinearMap, b) = A_mul_B!(c, L.A, b)
Base.:*(L::MyLinearMap, b) = L.A*b
Base.eltype(L::MyLinearMap) = eltype(L.A)
Base.size(L::MyLinearMap, i::Int) = size(L.A, i)

# Let's test it 

A = sprand(1000, 1000, 0.01)
A = A + A' + 30I

op = MyLinearMap(A)
norm(cg(op, op*ones(1000)) - ones(1000))
