Detailed Description

template<unsigned ELEMENT_DIM, unsigned SPACE_DIM>
class OperatorSplittingMonodomainSolver< ELEMENT_DIM, SPACE_DIM >

A monodomain solver that uses Strang operator splitting of the diffusion (conductivity) term and the reaction (ionic current) term, instead of solving the full reaction-diffusion PDE. This does NOT refer to operator splitting of the two PDEs in the bidomain equations. For details see for example Sundnes et al "Computing the Electrical Activity of the Heart".

The algorithm is, for solving from t=T to T+dt.

(i) Solve ODEs dV/dt = Iionic for t=T to T+dt/2 [giving updated V (internally, and in solution vector) and updated state variables] (ii) Solve PDE dV/dt = div sigma grad V for t=T to dt [using V from step i, --> updated V] (iii) Solve ODEs dV/dt = Iionic for t=T+dt/2 to T+dt [using V from step ii, --> final V]

Notes (a) Stages (iii) and (i) can normally be solved together in one go, except just before/after printing the voltage to file. However for simplicity of code this has not been implemented (b) Therefore, the effective ODE timestep will be: min(ode_dt, pde_dt/2), where ode_dt and pde_dt are those given via HeartConfig. (c) This solver is FOR COMPARING ACCURACY, NOT PERFORMANCE. It has not been optimised and may or may not perform well in parallel. (d) We don't implement the simpler form of operator splitting, Godunov splitting, where the ODEs are solved for one timestep and the PDEs are solved for one timestep, since this is formally equivalent to the default implementation where the ionic current is interpolated from the nodal values (ie ICI - see ICI/SVI discussion in documentation)

Vec OperatorSplittingMonodomainSolver< ELEMENT_DIM, SPACE_DIM >::mVecForConstructingRhs [private]

The vector multiplied by the mass matrix. Ie, if the linear system to be solved is Ax=b, this vector is z where b=Mz.

In the normal solver this is equal to alpha*V + beta*Iionic + gamma*Istim, here there is no Iionic term.
