[Getdp] Bug & Fix

[Lars Rindorf]

Dear all 
 
I have found a bug when using the time solver with complex numbers.
(Maybe it is just a feature that hasn't just been implemented yet and
not a bug). You can replicate the error with the attached script.  I
have also made a correction, which I have tested succesfully. To be used
at own risk.
 
The bug appears with both getdp 2.0 with petsc and 1.2.1 with sparsekit.
All corrections in the source file are marked with 'LHR' (my initials).
The version is getdp 2.0. 
 
The problem is that getdp dosn't build the matrices and vectors when
complex numbers and a time solver are used. The static solution works
correctly. The problem is in the file Cal_AssembleTerm.cpp, and has to
do with the variable Current.NbrHar which is 1 with reals and 2 with
complex numbers. If Current.NbrHar = 2 getdp does not build the matrices
and vectors which will be zero when using the time solver. 
 
Question: what does Current.NbrHar > 2 mean? And is there a (good)
reason why getdp has not design to work with Current.NbrHar = 2?
 
I have attached my corrected source file. I have correct the bug in all
instances in the file I could find, except in the "multiharmonics" part.
BTW: what does the multiharmonics part do?
 
The attached script simulates equation  d_x^2 e(x,t) = d_t e(x,t). You
can also change it to  e(x,t) = -d_t e(x,t), in which case the solution
is e(x,t) = e(x,t=0)*exp(-t).
 
Another related problem: There is some confusion in the postprocessing
in getdp with the Current.NbrHar = 2 after having used the time solver.
If a complex field is postprocessed (after having used the time solver)
it has the form e.g re[e(t=0)],im[e(t=0)],re[e(t=1)],im[e(t=1)],
t=0,0,1,1. This is fine. But if I output re(e) instead of e, then it
still outputs the imaginary value which is now zero.  If im(e) is
outputted it returns im(e) + 0*i, instead of just im(e) which is a real.
