11  * \brief Abstract base class for the subdomain operator, i.e. the linear
12  * operator restricted to an element-centered Schwarz subdomain
13  *
14  * A subdomain operator must implement these member function templates
15  * - operator(): Applies the operator to the element-centered subdomain data.
16  * It must take these arguments, in this order:
17  * - gsl::not_null<LinearSolver::Schwarz::ElementCenteredSubdomainData*>:
18  * The data where the result of the operator applied to the operand should
19  * be written to
20  * - LinearSolver::Schwarz::ElementCenteredSubdomainData: The operand data
21  * to which the operator should be applied
22  * - db::DataBox: The element's DataBox. Can be used to retrieve any data on
23  * the subdomain geometry and to access and mutate persistent memory
24  * buffers.
25  *
26  * Since the subdomain operator has access to the element's DataBox, it can
27  * retrieve any background data, i.e. data that does not depend on the variables
28  * it operates on. Background data on overlap regions with other elements can be
29  * either initialized in advance if possible or communicated with the
30  * LinearSolver::Schwarz::Actions::SendOverlapFields and
31  * LinearSolver::Schwarz::Actions::ReceiveOverlapFields actions. Note that
32  * such communication should not be necessary between iterations of the Schwarz
33  * solve, but only between successive solves, because background data should not
34  * change during the solve. All variable data is passed to the operator as the
35  * operand argument (see above).
36  *
37  * Here's an example of a subdomain operator that is the restriction of an
38  * explicit global matrix:
