Introduction

The kinKadath Library is designed to optimize the computation for the Kadath library by using Newton Krylov method. This is an add-on to the kadath library, which can be download at https://www.luth.obspm.fr/~luthier/grandclement/kadath.html.

and described in the paper :

• P. Grandclement : 2010, Kadath: a spectral solver for theoretical physics. https://arxiv.org/abs/0909.1228

The kinKadath Library will contains a serial and a parallel solver and depends on several other librairies :

• Kinsol, the software that contains many Newton krylov solvers for non linear equations
• Blas, Lapack, basic linear algebra librairies

The parallel kinKadath version will depend also on :

• Hypre, for Multigrid methods to construct preconditionner,
• Scalapack, for a parallel version of Lapack

For each, you need to install the corresponding (serial or parallel) version of Kadath.
