[petsc-dev] Fwd: [SIAM-CSE] Introducing hIPPYlib, a python-based inverse problems solver library

[Matthew Knepley]

Yes. I had a discussion with Noemi about using it with PETSc. The big
requirement is formulating the discretization
in FEniCS. I think it might be possible to peel back one layer of interface
and use it directly. Once I find the right
student, I will have them investigate. There are some very nice pieces in
there.

  Thanks,

    Matt

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
