README.parallel
	design notes for the parallel/multiprocessor algorithms
	and data structures

driver.hh
	overall header file for routines in this directory

state.cc
	state information (data structures) kept across Cactus scheduler calls

setup.cc		# sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS, CCTK_PARAMETERS
	this is called from the scheduler to setup our data structures

	this is called from the scheduler to announce apparent horizon
	info to other thorns

mask.cc			# sees CCTK_ARGUMENTS, CCTK_PARAMETERS
	this is called from the scheduler to set an excision mask or masks

	this sets up the initial guess(es) for the horizon position(s)

Newton.cc		# sees cGH (for interprocessor broadcasts)
			# uses CCTK_ReduceLocArrayToArray1D() for
			#   interprocessor broadcast/synchronization
	this solves the Theta(h) = 0 equations by Newton's method

io.cc
	I/O routines

ellipsoid.maple
	this is a Maple script to compute the intersection of a given
	ray with an ellipsoid; this is used in setting up the initial guess

Design notes for the parallel/multiprocessor algorithms and data structures
===========================================================================

$Header$

The Problem
-----------
Doing horizon finding on multiple processors is difficult, because when
we interpolate the geometry to the trial horizon surface, we must use a
global interpolator (CCTK_InterpGridArrays()), which is (necessarily) a
a collective operation, i.e. the interpolator must be called synchronously
on every processor, with identical arguments except for the number of
interpolation points, the interpolation coordinates, and the output
array pointers.  It's quite tricky to arrange this synchronicity when
different processors are locating different horizons.


Newton's Method
---------------
We find the apparent horizon by solving   Theta(h) = 0   by a global
Newton's-method iteration.  ("global" meaning we update all the horizon
surface points simultaneously at each iteration.)  That is, the basic
uniprocessor solution algorithm is

	while (true)
	{
	compute Theta(h)
	if (||Theta(h)|| small or too many iterations)
		exit
	compute Jacobian[Theta(h)]
	solve linear system J.dh = -Theta
	update h += dh
	}

As mentioned above, the computation of Theta(h) must be done synchronously
(across all processors).  It turns out that the evaluation of the Jacobian
matrix must also be done synchronously -- it too involves a geometry
interpolation.


High-Level Outline of the Solution
----------------------------------
We use the following design to do this:

Horizons are identified by an integer "horizon number".  This runs from
1 to N_horizons for the "genuine" horizons we want to find, or 0 for a
"dummy" horizon used if there are more processors than horizons to find.
	[We actually implement the dummy horizon as
	passing NULL horizon and/or Jacobian pointers
	to expansion() and expansion_Jacobian(), but
	this is an implementation detail which doesn't
	matter here.]

Each processor is assigned the dummy horizon, and zero or more genuine
horizons; each genuine horizon is assigned to exactly one procesor.
A processor with one or more genuine horizons is called an "active"
processor; a processor with only the dummy horizon is called a "dummy"
processor.  The assignment of horizons to processors is static for the
whole Cactus run.
	[A dynamic assignment might be more efficient,
	but then we'd have to move our state for a horizon
	from one processor to processor.]

All the processors do their Newton iteration synchronously, working on
genuine horizons if they have any, or dummy horizons if not.  If any
error occurs when computing Theta or the Jacobian, or in solving the
linear equations, we treat this as failing to find this horizon.

For example, suppose we have 3 horizons, which are found (the Newton
iteration converges) after respectively 3, 5, and 4 iterations.  Then
with 2 processors the iterations would look like this (where h1/2/3
means horizon 1/2/3, -- means the dummy horizon, and a * after Theta
means convergence):

	processor #0	processor #1
	------------	------------
1	h1 Theta	h2 Theta
2	h1 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian
3	h1 Theta	h2 Theta
4	h1 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian
5	h1 Theta*	h2 Theta
6	-- Jacobian	h2 Jacobian
7	h3 Theta	h2 Theta
8	h3 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian
9	h3 Theta	h2 Theta*
10	h3 Jacobian	-- Jacobian
11	h3 Theta	-- Theta
12	h3 Jacobian	-- Jacobian
13	h3 Theta*	-- Theta

(Notice that at line 6, processor #0 does a dummy-horizon Jacobian
computation before starting its next genuine horizon.  This is to keep
the Theta and Jacobian computations synchronized across all processors.
In a single-processor run we'd skip this and go directly to the next
genuine horizon.)

With 3 processors this same example would look like this:

	processor #0	processor #1	processor #2
	------------	------------	------------
1	h1 Theta	h2 Theta	h3 Theta
2	h1 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	h3 Jacobian
3	h1 Theta	h2 Theta	h3 Theta
4	h1 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	h3 Jacobian
5	h1 Theta*	h2 Theta	h3 Theta
6	-- Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	h3 Jacobian
7	-- Theta	h2 Theta	h3 Theta*
8	-- Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	-- Jacobian
9	-- Theta	h2 Theta*	-- Theta

With 4 processors it would look like this:

	processor #0	processor #1	processor #2	processor #3
	------------	------------	------------	------------
1	h1 Theta	h2 Theta	h3 Theta	-- Theta
2	h1 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	h3 Jacobian	-- Jacobian
3	h1 Theta	h2 Theta	h3 Theta	-- Theta
4	h1 Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	h3 Jacobian	-- Jacobian
5	h1 Theta*	h2 Theta	h3 Theta	-- Theta
6	-- Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	h3 Jacobian	-- Jacobian
7	-- Theta	h2 Theta	h3 Theta*	-- Theta
8	-- Jacobian	h2 Jacobian	-- Jacobian	-- Jacobian
9	-- Theta	h2 Theta*	-- Theta	-- Theta

Any additional processors would similarly do all Theta and Jacobian
computations on the dummy horizon.


Interprocessor Synchronization
------------------------------

To implement this algorithm, after each Theta evaluation each active
processor computes a "I need more iterations (either on this or another
genuine horizon)" flag, and all the processors do an inclusive-or--reduction
of these flags, with the result broadcast to all processors.  Each
processor then uses the inclusive-or-reduction result to determine
whether or not to continue iterating.


Broadcasting the Iteration Status
---------------------------------

After each Theta evaluation each active processor also sends
* which horizon it's working on
* the iteration number
* the expansion() status
* its error norms
to processor 0, which uses this information to print a status report
of how the iterations are converging.

If an (active) processor finds a horizon, it computes the BH diagnostics
and broadcasts them, and optionally the horizon shape, to all processors.
Processor 0 uses this to print the BH diagnostics, and (optionally) all
processors use the diagnostics and the horizon shape to set the drift
correction information and/or the BH excision mask.

	[All the processors actually need the ghosted horizon
	shape in order to be able to do angular interpolations
	to test if a given point is inside/outside the horizon.
	But since interprocessor communication is probably
	expensive, we only broadcast the horizon shape on the
	nominal grid, then recover the ghost-zone values on
	each processor.]

Since all processors must participate in a broadcast, all processors
must somehow know that that horizon was just found.  Thus, after each
Theta iteration, we broadcast a "which horizon I've just found, or none"
integer from each active processor to all processors.


Optimizing the Interprocessor Communication
-------------------------------------------

In practice interprocessor communication is expensive.  Moreover, in
practice, given that we're doing synchronous operations across all
processors (i.e. the inclusive-or--reduction with result broadcast to
all processors), latency is probably more important than bandwidth.

Thus for implementation, we group the different interprocessor
communications described above, into two operations:

After each Theta evaluation each active processor broadcasts
* which horizon it's working on
* the iteration number
* the expansion() status
* its error norms
* a Boolean "I have just found a horizon" flag
* a Boolean "I need more iterations" flag
to all processors.  All processors do the inclusive-or--reduce of
the "I need more iterations" flags locally, on the values received
from the broadcast.

All processors then go through the "I have just found a horizon" flags
received from the broadcast, and for each flag which is true, all
processors then know to participate in the broadcast of the BH diagnostics
and (optionally) the horizon shape from the just-found-it processor
to all processors.

# ***** gridfn arrays *****
#

#
# The basic data objects for the Maple code are grid function arrays,
# a.k.a. gridfn arrays, such as the metric g_dd, the Christoffel symbols
# Gamma_udd, etc etc.
#
# By convention, the name of a nonscalar geometric object ends with an 
# underscore ("_") followed by a sequence of "d" or "u" specifying whether
# the indices are down (covariant) or up (contravariant).  Thus, for
# example, g_dd is the covariant metric, while g_uu is the inverse metric.
#
# Scalar geometric objects are represented by Maple scalars, while
# nonscalar objects (often but not necessarily tensors) are represented
# by Maple arrays, using Maple indexing functions for any symmetries
# or sparsity.  For example, the metric  g_dd  is represented by an
# array
#	array(1..N, 1..N, symmetric)
# By convention, for a symmetric array of this type, we only compute
# the upper triangle.
#

################################################################################

#
# ***** functional dependences *****
#

#
# Within the Maple code, we distinguish between two distinct forms
# that a gridfn array may take:
# - The "inert" form of a gridfn array represents (only) the symmetries,
#   zero (or nonzero but constant) elements, and indexing semantics of
#   the gridfn array.
# - The "functional dependence" form of a gridfn array additionally
#   represents how that gridfn array is computed from other gridfn
#   arrays.
#
# For example, consider the inverse metric  g_uu .  It's inert form
# is a 3*3 symmetric array, with all elements being unassigned symbols
# (i.e. evaluating to themselves, as is usual in Maple).  It's functional
# dependence form, in contrast, is also a 3*3 symmetric array, but its
# elements are expressions giving the inverse-metric elements in terms
# of components of the metric and/or the metric determinant.
#
# Any given gridfn array may exist in either or (the usual case) both
# an inert form and a functional dependence forms.  There may also be
# multiple functional dependence forms, corresponding to alternative
# formulas for its computation.)
#
# The inert form of a gridfn array is represented by a Maple variable
# or array (see below) of the same name (eg  g_uu ), unassigned except
# for any symmetries and/or zero components the gridfn array has.
#
# The functional dependence form of a gridfn array is represented by
# a Maple array (see below) with a name formed by appending "__fnd"
# to the gridfn array's name (eg  g_uu__fnd ); this array has the same
# symmetries as the corresponding inert Maple array, but only those
# elements needed will be assigned.  If there are multiple functional
# dependence forms, by convention each uses a name beginning in "__"
# and ending in "fnd", eg  H__ps_fnd .
#
# The PDE compiler normally generates C code referring to the (inert)
# gridfn array names, so these should be valid C variable names.
#

#
# To allow some run-time error checking, we keep a global table
# of all the gridfn array functional-dependence forms:
#	`gfa/fnd_table`
#	... table index is  gfa__fnd_name
#	... table value is  true
# assert_fnd_exists() uses this table to verify that a given gridfn
# array functional-dependence form does indeed exist.
#

#
# Functional-dependence forms may be multilevel, as in (eg)
#  g_dd__Kerr_fnd__ps_fnd .  cat() may be used to combine names in
# this manner.
#

################################################################################

# This function makes the Maple representation of a single gridfn array.
#
# Arguments:
# gfa_name = (out*) The Maple variable to be created for the gridfn
#		    array.  This argument should be passed as an
#		    unevaluated (quoted) name.
# fnd_name_set = (in) A set of functional dependence types the gridfn
#		      array is to have.  The set's members should be
#		      drawn from from {inert, fnd, ...} as appropriate,
#		      where the special value  inert  refers to the
#		      inert form.

#
# This function is a high-level driver to generate C code for a Maple
# expression.  It does the following:
# - convert the input into a list of equations of the form  name = expression
# - rewrite Diff(...) calls to DIFF_RHO_RHO(...) etc calls
# - generate an "optimized" form of the computation sequence with
#   codegen[optimize, tryhard]
# - determine which temporary variables have been introduced by the
#   codegen[optimize] library
# - "unindex" all array accesses, eg R_dd[2,3] becomes R_dd_23.
# - convert rational numbers to RATIONAL(p,q) calls
# - print C declarations for the temporary variables
# - print C code for the the optimized computation sequence
#
# Note that "codegen" is a Maple package; this function is called "codegen2".
#
# Sample usage:
#	codegen2([R_dd__fnd, R__fnd], ['R_dd', 'R'], "Ricci.c");
#
# Arguments:
# expr = (in) The expression or list of expressions for which code is to
#	      be generated.  This will typically be the name of a gridfn
#	      array functional-dependence form, or a list of such names,
#	      but this isn't required.
# lhs_name = (in) The name or list of names to be used for the results in
#		  the generated C code, eg R_dd.
# output_file_name = (in) The name of the file to which the generated
#			  code is to be written.
#
# Arguments (as global variables)
# `saveit/level`
#	= (in) (optional)
#	       If this global variable is assigned, intermediate results
#	       are saved for debugging purposes.  If it's assigned an
#	       integral value, making this value larger may increase the
#	       level of debugging output.  (10 is a good number for typical
#	       debugging.)

//
// ***** design notes for ghost zones *****
//

//
// A  ghost_zone  object describes a patch's ghost zone, and knows how
// to compute gridfns there (we usually speak of "synchronizing" the
// ghost zone or zones) based on either the patch system's symmetry
// or interpolation from a neighboring patch.  ghost_zone is an abstract
// base class, from which we derive two concrete classes:
// * A  symmetry_ghost_zone  object describes a ghost zone which is a
//   (discrete) symmetry of spacetime, either mirror-image or periodic.
//   Such an object knows how to fill in ghost-zone gridfn data from
//   the "other side" of the symmetry.
// * An  interpatch_ghost_zone  object describes a ghost zone which
//   overlaps another patch.  Such an object knows how to get ghost
//   zone gridfn data from the other patch.  More accurately, it gets
//   the data by asking (calling) the appropriate one of the other
//   patch's  patch_interp  objects.
// Every patch has (points to) 4  ghost_zone  objects, one for each of
// the patch's sides.  See the comments in "patch.hh" for a "big picture"
// discussion of patches, patch edges, ghost zones, and patch interpolators.
//

//
// There are some unobvious complications involved in synchronizing
// the ghost zone "corners", i.e. in ghost zone points that are outside
// the nominal grid in *both* coordinates.  There are 3 basic cases here:
// * A corner between two symmetry ghost zones, for example the -x/-y
//   corner in the example below.  In this case it takes *two* sequential
//   symmetry operations to get gridfn data in the corner from the
//   nominal grid.  Symmetry operations commute, so at each point we'll
//   always get the same results independently of in which order we do
//   the symmetry operations.  Computationally, we actually do the operations
//   in both orders, one order's results overwriting the other's, but
//   this doesn't matter (because the results are the same).
// * A corner between two interpatch ghost zones, for example the +x/+y
//   corner in the example below.  In this case we could get the gridfn
//   data by either of two distinct interpolation operations (presumably
//   from two distinct patches), which would in general give slightly
//   different results.  In some ideal world we might do a centered
//   interpolation using data from both patches, but this would be
//   complicated:
//   - it would require a 2-D interpolation
//   - it would require bookkeeping for interpolating from multiple
//     patches within the same ghost zone, indeed for the same ghost
//     zone point
//   At present, we follow a simpler approach: we split the corner down
//   its diagonal,
//	[for the points on the diagonal we make an arbitrary choice;
//	at present this is that they belong to (and get their data via)
//	the rho ghost zone.]
//   and off-center the interpolation as necessary so each ghost-zone
//   point gets data solely from the neighboring patch on its own side.
// * A corner between a symmetry and an interpatch ghost zone, for
//   example the +x/-y or -x/+y corners in the example below.  In this
//   case we first do a symmetry operation in the neighboring patch,
//   then a fully centered interpolation (using the data just obtained
//   from a symmetry operation) to get data in the non-corner part of
//   the interpatch ghost zone.  After the interpatch interpolation,
//   we do a final symmetry operation to get gridfn data in the corner.
//
// In general, then, a ghost zone is rhomboid-shaped: iperp lies in a
// fixed interval, while ipar lies in an interval which may depend on
// iperp.  In general, this shape depends on the type (symmetry vs interpatch)
// of the adjacent ghost zones.
//

//
// To properly handle all the symmetry/interpatch cases described above,
// we use a 3-phase algorithm to synchronize ghost zones:
// Phase 1: Fill in gridfn data at all the non-corner points of symmetry
//	    ghost zones, by using the symmetries to get this data from
//	    its "home patch" nominal grids.
// Phase 2: Fill in gridfn data in all the interpatch ghost zones, by
//	    interpatch interpolating from neighboring patches as described
//	    above.
// Phase 3: Fill in gridfn data at all the corner points of symmetry
//	    ghost zones, by using the symmetries to get this data from
//	    its "home patch" nominal grids or ghost zones.
// Here a given ghost zone corner may be either a full rectangle (so any
// given point is a member of both adjacent corners), or split down its
// diagonal (so any given point is a member of only one corner).  This
// 3-phase algorithm is actually implemented by
//    patch_system::synchronize()
// which in turn calls
//    symmetry_ghost_zone::synchronize()
//    interpatch_ghost_zone::synchronize()
//

//
// For example, consider the +z patch in an octant patch system, with
// the ghost zones being 2 points wide.  The following illustration is
// looking down the z axis, and uses (x,y) for the patch coordinates
// for simplicity:
//
//                    #                                                   //

// symmetry_ghost_zone - derived class for spacetime-symmetry ghost zone
//
// In practice, there are two types of spacetime symmetry ghost zone:
// mirror symmetry and periodic symmetry.  However, it turns out that the
// code needed to handle periodic BCs is basically a superset of that
// needed to handle mirror symmetries, so this class represents a generic
// symmetry ghost zone which may be of either type, and once constructed
// doesn't distinguish between the two.
//
// In general, a symmetry ghost zone implies that there's a 1-1 mapping
// between ghost zone points of this patch, and (a subset of the) interior
// points of this or another patch.  If tensors are involved (this isn't
// used at present in the horizon finder), there's also a corresponding
// 1-1 mapping between (angular) tensor components.
//
// A mirror-symmetry ghost zone is specified by (the constructor arguments)
// - a patch edge
// - the (fp) perp coordinate of the mirror plane
// The mapping of ghost zone points is thus "just" the mirror imaging of
// iperp across the symmetry plane within this same patch.  (The mapping
// leaves ipar invariant.)
//
// A periodic-symmetry ghost zone is specified by (the constructor arguments)
// - a patch edge (specifies the ghost zone)
// - the patch edge to which the ghost zone is to be mapped
// - a pair of ipar coordinates, one on this edge and one on the other edge,
//   which map into each other
// - the sign of the ipar mapping (does increasing ipar on this edge map to
//   increasing or decreasing ipar on the other edge?)
// The mapping of ghost zone points is the periodic mapping; this may map
// the ghost zone points to interior points of either this same patch or a
// different one.
//
// In general, the symmetry mapping of ghost zone points is of the form
//	(iperp, ipar) --> (const +/- iperp, const +/- ipar)
// The iperp mapping is always in the direction
//	outside the patch --> inside the patch
// while the ipar mapping might have either sign.
// If there are tensors, the corresponding mapping of tensor components is
//	(index_perp, index_par) --> (+/-) (+/-) (index_perp, index_par)
// (that is, the two +/- signs are multiplied).

//
// Since all the member functions are  const , a  symmetry_ghost_zone
// object is effectively always  const .

// patch_interp - interpolation from a patch
//

//
// A patch_interp object is responsible for interpolating gridfn data
// from its owning patch for use by another patch's ghost_zone object
// (in setting up the gridfn in the other ghost zone).  A patch_interp
// object deals only in its own patch's coordinates; other code elsewhere
// (in practice in interpatch_ghost_zone::) is responsible for translating
// other patch's coordinates into our coordinates.
//

//
// A patch_interp defines a "patch interpolation region", the region of
// its owning patch from which this interpolation will use gridfn data.
//

//
// The way the patch coordnates are constructed, any two adjacent patches
// share a common (perpendicular) coordinate.  Thus we only have to do
// 1-dimensional interpolation here (in the parallel direction).  In
// other words, for each iperp we interpolate in par.
//
// In general we interpolate each gridfn at a number of distinct par
// for each iperp; the integer "parindex" indexes these points.  We
// attach no particular semantics to parindex, and it need not be
// 0-origin or have the same range for each iperp.  [In practice,
// parindex will be the other patch's ipar coordinate.]  However,
// we assume that the range of parindex is roughly similar for each
// iperp, so it's ok to use (iperp,parindex) as a 2-D rectangular

// where the (2a)-(5g) are the interpolation points, with 2-5 being the

// below.  In terms of our member data, this interpolation region would
// be described by
//	[min,max]_iperp_=[10,11]
//	[min,max]_ipar_=[1,9]
//	[min,max]_parindex_array_(10)=[2,5]

//
// We use the Cactus local interpolator CCTK_InterpLocalUniform()
// to do the interpolation.  To minimize interpolator overheads, we
// interpolate all the gridfns at each iperp in a single interpolator
// call.  [Different iperp values involve different sets of (1-D)
// gridfn data, and so inherently require distinct interpolator calls.]
//
// Setting up the array subscripting for the interpolator to access
// the gridfn data is a bit tricky:  The interpolator accesses the
// gridfn data using the generic (1-D) subscripting expression
//	data[offset + i*stride]
// where  i  is the data array index.  However, we'd rather not use
//  offset , because it has to be supplied in the parameter table as
// an array subscripted by  gfn , and so would require changing the
// parameter table for each call on  interpolate()  (with potentially
// different numbers of gridfns being interpolated).  Instead, at each
//  iperp  we use  i = ipar-min_ipar , so the default  offset=0  makes
// the subscripting expression zero for  ipar = min_ipar .  This also
// makes the interpolator's  min_i = 0  and  max_i  be  dims-1  (both
// the defaults), so those also don't have to be set in the parameter
// table either.  We set the interpolator's data coordinate origin to
// the  par  coordinate for  min_ipar , so it correctly maps  i --> par .
// With this strategy we can share the interpolator parameter table
// across all the  iperp  values, and we don't need to modify the
// parameter table at all after the initial setup in our constructor.
// However, we do have to adjust the molecule positions in
//  patch_interp::molecule_posn() , since the interpolator will return
//  i  values, while  molecule_posn()  needs  ipar  values.

//*****************************************************************************

//
// This (POD, and hence static-initializable) struct gives a minimal
// set of information which varies from one patch to another.
//
// The member functions allow computing all the grid:: constructor
// arguments; with these in hand it's fairly easy to construct the
// patch itself.  This scheme doesn't allow the most general possible
// type of patch (eg it constrains all ghost zones to have the same width,
// and it requires the grid spacing to evenly divide 90 degrees), but
// it does cover all the cases that seem to come up in practice.
//
// Arguments for member functions:
// ghost_zone_width = Width in grid points of all ghost zones.
// patch_extend_width = Number of grid points to extend each patch past
//		     "just touching" so as to overlap neighboring patches.
//		     Thus patches overlap by
//			patch_overlap_width = 2*patch_extend_width + 1
//		     grid points.  For example, with patch_extend_width == 2,
//		     here are the grid points of two neighboring patches:
//			x   x   x   x   x   X   X
//                                      |
//			        O   O   o   o   o   o   o
//		     Here | marks the "just touching" boundary,
//		     x and o the grid points before this extension,
//		     and X and O the extra grid points added by this
//		     extension.
// N_zones_per_right_angle = This sets the grid spacing (same in both
//			     directions) to 90.0 / N_zones_per_right_angle.
//			     It's a fatal error (error_exit()) if this
//			     doesn't evenly divide the grid sizes in both
//			     directions.

patch/README:
```
This directory contains C++ code for the horizon finder's basic
multi-patch infrastructure.  This code doesn't know about relativity.

The main classes defined in this directory are as follows:
patch_system
	is the top-level class representing a multipatch system.
	It stores the actual grid function data, defines the actual
	finite differencing operations (both 2nd and 4th order are
	provided, presently selected by #ifdef at compile time),
	and keeps pointers to all the other objects making up the
	patch system.
x_patch, y_patch, z_patch
	represent individual patches near the +/- x, +/- y, and +/- z
	axes respectively.
patch
	is an virtual base class representing a grid patch.
patch_edge
	represents the geometry of a single edge of a patch, ie it
	represents the conversions between (perpendicular,parallel)
	and (rho,sigma) coordinates.
ghost_zone
	is a virtual base class representing the ghost zone
	along a single edge of a patch.
interpatch_ghost_zone
	represents a ghost zone where we get data by interpolating
	it from a neighboring patch.
symmetry_ghost_zone
	represents a ghost zone where we get data by a discrete
	symmetry (eg a reflection or periodic boundary condition).
patch_interp
	is our interface to the interpatch interpolation.

Class  patch  is in term implemented using the following helper classes:
grid
	This class is derived from class  grid_arrays , and adds
	the floating-point grid-coordinate metadata.
grid_arrays
	This class stores the basic integer-array-subscripts metadata
	for a 2-D grid.

The implementation also uses the low-level support routines and classes
in namespace jtutil::, which are all defined in  ../jtutil/ .

All the code makes heavy use of the type  fp , defined in
../include/config.h .  This is the floating-point type, i.e. CCTK_REAL.


coord_derivs.maple
coord_derivs.out
	are maple input and output to compute derivatives of the
	coordinate-transformation functions for the
	local_coords::partial*_wrt_*() and local_coords::partial2*_wrt_*()
	functions


There are also a number of test drivers in  test_*.cc :
test_coords.cc
test_coords2.cc
	These are standalone test drivers to test various coordinate
	conversions; there are targets in ./makefile to build them.

test_patch_system.cc
	This is a Cactus driver to do various tests of the patch system.
	To use it you need to uncomment its line in ./make.code.defn .

// A  patch_edge  object is a very light-weight object which represents

// provides which-side-am-I predicates, coordinate conversions between

// Note that since  patch_edge  has only  const  member functions
// (and members!), a  patch_edge  object is effectively always  const .

// grid_arrays - data arrays for a 2D tensor-product grid
//
// This is a helper class for class grid (below).  This class stores
// most of the actual grid function (gridfn) data arrays for a uniform
// tensor-product 2D grid.
//
// The integer grid coordinates are (irho,isigma).  This class deals
// with the grid solely at the level of arrays with integer subscripts;
// the derived class  grid  deals with the floating-point coordinates
// related to those subscripts.
//
// The grid has a nominal extent, surrounded by "ghost zones" on each
// side for finite differencing purposes.
//
// There are separate sets of nominal-grid and ghosted-grid gridfns.
// We identify a gridfn by a small-integer "grid function number", a.k.a.
// "gfn".  There are separate gfns for nominal and ghosted gridfns.
// In a very few places we refer to "unknown-grid" gridfns; these might
// be either nominal-grid or ghosted-grid.
//
// For our application (apparent horizon finding), it's useful for the
// storage for a single gridfn to be contiguous *across all patches*.
// (Note this means that the set of all our gridfns is *not* contiguous!)
// To accomplish this, we don't allocate the gridfns when we're created,
// but rather later, with a separate call  setup_gridfn_storage() .
// This way higher-level code can first create all patches, then count
// the total amount of storage used, allocate it, then finally call each
// patch again to set up its gridfns appropriately.

//
// *** Implementation Notes -- Overview ***
//

//
// The key design problem for our finite differencing is how to
// implement an entire family of 5(9) finite difference operations in
// 2D(3D)
//
//	partial_rho		partial_sigma
//	partial_{rho,rho}	partial_{rho,sigma}
//				partial_{sigma,sigma}
//
//	partial_x		partial_y		partial_z
//	partial_xx		partial_xy		partial_xz
//				partial_yy		partial_yz
//							partial_zz
//
// without having to write out the finite differencing molecules multiple
// times, and while still preserving maximum inline-function efficiency.
// In particular, mixed 2nd-order derivative operations like partial_xy
// should be automatically composed from the two individual 1st derivative
// operations (partial_x and partial_y).
//

//
// Our basic approach is to define each finite difference molecule in
// a generic 1-dimensional form using an abstract "data(m)" interface.
// Here we use the terminology that a finite difference molecule is
// defined as
//	out[k] = sum(m) c[m] * in[k+m]
// where c[] is the vector/matrix of molecule coefficients, and m is
// the (integer) relative grid coordinate within a molecule.
//
// That is, for example, we define the usual 2nd order centered 1st
// derivative operator as
//	diff = 0.5*inv_delta_x*(data(+1) - data(-1))
// leaving unspecified just what the data source is.  We then use this
// with an appropriate data source (indexing along that gridfn array axis)
// for each directional derivative operation, and we compose two of
// these, using the first along x as the data source for the second
// along y, for the mixed 2nd-order derivative operation.
//

//******************************************************************************

//
// *** Implementation Notes -- Techniques using C++ Templates ***
// 

//
// There are two plausible ways to use C++ templates
//	[C++ templates are described in detail in chapter 13 of
//	Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language" (3rd Edition),
//	hereinafter "C++PL", and chapter 15 of Stroustrup's
//	"The Design and Evolution of C++", hereinafter "D&EC++".]
// to write the sort of generic-at-compile-time code we want:
// - Template specializations for each axis, as discussed in D&EC++
//   section 15.10.3.
// - Overloaded functions for each axis, with an argument type
//   (possibly that of an extra unused argument) selecting the
//   appropriate axis and hence the appropriate function.  This
//   technique is discussed in D&EC++ section 15.6.3.1.
//
// Quoting from D&EC++ (section 15.6.3.1),
//
//	The fundamental observation is that every property
//	of a type or an algorithm can be represented by a
//	type (possibly defined specificaly to do exactly
//	that).  That done, such a type can be used to guide
//	the overload resolution to select a function that
//	depends on the desired property.  [...]
//
//	Please note that thanks to inlining this resolution
//	is done at compile-time, so the appropriate [...]
//	function will be called directly without any run-time
//	overhead.
//
// Quoting from C++PL3 (section 13.4),
//
//	Passing [...] operations as a template parameter has two
//	significant benefits compared to alternatives such as
//	passing pointers to functions.  Several operations can
//	be passed as a single argument with no run-time cost.
//	In addition, the [...] operators [passed this way] are
//	trivial to inline, whereas inlininkg a call through a
//	pointer to function requires exceptional attention from
//	a compiler.
//

//
// In my opinion the template-specialization design is cleaner, and it
// clearly has no run-time cost (whereas the overloaded-function design
// may have a run-time cost for constructing and passing unused objects),
// so we use it here.
//
// There are, however, two (non-fatal) problema with this approach:
// - Unfortunately, it appears C++ (or at least gcc 2.95.1) forbids
//   template specialization within a class, so some of the functions
//   which whould logically be class members, must instead be defined
//   outside any class.  We use the namespace  fd_stuff::  to hide
//   these from the outside world.
// - C++PL3, section C.13.3, states that
//	Only class templates can be template arguments.
//   so we have to use dummy classes around some of our template
//   functions.  To avoid extra constructor/destructor overhead, we
//   make these template functions static.
//

//******************************************************************************

//
// *** Implementation Notes -- Techniques using the C/C++ Preprocessor ***
//

//
// The fundamental problem with the template approaches is portability:
// Although the C++ standard describes powerful template facilities, not
// all C++ compilers yet fully support these.  As an alternative, we can
// use the C/C++ preprocessor.  This is ugly and dangerous (global names!),
// but is probably simpler than any of the template approaches.  It can
// provide the same finite differencing functionality and efficiency as
// the template-based approaches.
//
// Because of its greater portability, we use the preprocessor-based
// approach here.
//

//******************************************************************************


//
// *** Implementation Notes -- Run-Time Choice of Molecules ***
//
// *If* we want to allow the finite differencing scheme to be changed
// at run-time (e.g. from a parameter file), there are three plausible
// ways to do this:
// - Using  switch(molecule_type) , as is standard in C.  This is
//   simple, and for this particular application quite well-structured
//   and maintainable (there are only a few different molecule types,
//   all centralized in this file).
// - Using virtual functions, with  molecule  a virtual base class
//   and individual molecules derived from it.  This is elegant, but
//   may have some performance problems (below).  It also requires some
//   sort of switch-based "object factory" to interface with with the
//   molecule-choice parameters.
// - Write all the finite differencing code multiple times, once for
//   each finite differencing scheme.
//
// The typical use of these functions will be from within a loop over
// a whole grid.  In both cases we can expect excellent accuracy from
// modern hardware branch prediction (and thus minimal performance loss
// from the branching).  It's reasonable to expect a compiler to fully
// inline the switch-based code, exposing all the gridfn array subscriptings
// to strength reduction etc, but this is much trickier for the
// virtual-function--based code.  For this reason, the switch-based
// design seems superior to the virtual-function--based one.
//
// However, at present we don't implement any run-time selection: we
// "just" fix the finite differencing scheme at compile time via the
// preprocessor.
//

//******************************************************************************

//
// *** finite difference molecules ***
//

//**************************************

//
// define the actual molecules
//
// In the following macros, we first define all the distinct floating-
// -point numbers appearing in a molecules as "K" constants (all > 0),
// then define the actual derivative and its molecule coefficients
// using +/- the "K" constants, with multiplies by 1.0 elided and 0
// terms skipped in computing the derivative.  This (hopefully) gives
// maximum efficiency by avoiding the generated code loading the same
// constants multiple times.
// 

//
// The molecule macros all take the following arguments:
// inv_delta_x_ = inverse of grid spacing in the finite differencing
//		  direction
// data_= a data-fetching function or macro: data_(ghosted_gfn, irho, isigma)
//	  is the data to be finite differenced
// irho_plus_m_ = a function or macro: irho_plus_m_(irho,m) returns the
//		  rho coordinate to be passed to data_() for the [m]
//		  molecule coefficient
// isigma_plus_m_ = same thing, for the sigma coordinate
//
// n.b. We grab the variables ghosted_gfn, irho, and isigma from the calling
//      environment, and we define assorted local variables as needed!

// ***** how patch boundaries are handled *****
//

//
// Basically, we handle patch boundaries using the usual "ghost zone"
// technique, interpolating values from neighboring patches as necessary.
//
// In more detail, we use the following interrelated types of objects
// to handle patch boundaries:
//
// A  patch_edge  object represents the basic geometry of a min/max
// rho/sigma side of a patch, i.e. it provides which-side-am-I predicates,
// coordinate conversions between (perp,par) and (rho,sigma), etc.
// Every patch has (points to) 4  patch_edge  objects, one for each of
// the patch's sides.
//
// A  ghost_zone  object describes a patch's ghost zone, and knows how
// to fill in gridfns there based on either the patch system's symmetry
// or interpolation from a neighboring patch.  ghost_zone is an abstract
// base class, from which we derive two classes:
// * A  symmetry_ghost_zone  object describes a ghost zone which is a
//   (discrete) symmetry of spacetime, either mirror-image or periodic.
//   Such an object knows how to fill in ghost-zone gridfn data from
//   the "other side" of the symmetry.
// * An  interpatch_ghost_zone  object describes a ghost zone which
//   overlaps another patch.  Such an object knows how to get ghost
//   zone gridfn data from the other patch.  More accurately, it gets
//   the data by asking (calling) the appropriate one of the other
//   patch's  patch_interp  objects.
// Every patch has (points to) 4  ghost_zone  objects, one for each of
// the patch's sides.
//
// A  patch_interp  object does the actual interpolation of data from
// within a patch (for filling in data in another patch's ghost zone).
// A  patch_interp  object points to the patch and patch_edge where it
// will be interpolating.
//
// For example, suppose we have two patches p and q with a common
// angular boundary.  Then the desired network of pointers looks like
// this (omitting the  patch_edge  objects for simplicity):
//
// +-----+                                                       +-----+
// |     | <--> p.interpatch_ghost_zone ---> q.patch_interp ---> |     |
// |  p  |                                                       |  q  |
// |     | <--- p.patch_interp <--- q.interpatch_ghost_zone <--> |     |
// +-----+                                                       +-----+
//
// Because of the mutual pointers, we can't easily construct (say) p's
// interpatch_ghost_zone until after q itself has been constructed, and
// vice versa.  Moreover, the  patch_interp::  constructor needs the
// adjacent-side  ghost_zone  objects to already exist, and it needs to
// know the iperp range of the interpolation region, which can only be
// computed from the adjacent-patch  interpatch_ghost_zone  object.
//
// The solution adopted here is to use a 3-phase algorithm, ultimately
// driven by the patch_system constructor:
// * The patch constructors themselves construct the  patch_edge  objects
//   and links them to/from the patches.
// * The patch_system constructor calls the appropriate functions
//	patch::create_mirror_symmetry_ghost_zone()
//	patch::create_periodic_symmetry_ghost_zone()
//	patch::create_interpatch_ghost_zone()
//   to construct the  ghost_zone  objects and link them to/from the
//   patches.
// * The patch_system constructor calls the functions
//	interpatch_ghost_zone::finish_setup()
//   to finish setting up the  interpatch_ghost_zone  objects, construct
//   the other patch's  patch_interp  objects, and finish linking the
//    interpatch_ghost_zone  objects to the  patch_interp  objects.

//
// This function is called from the patch_system:: constructor to set
// up the storage for all gridfns in all patches, giving each gridfn a
// contiguous-across-all-patches storage array.  This function also makes
// a number of self-consistency checks to ensure that the gridfn storage
// subscripting is set up properly.
//
// This function assumes that all the patches have already been constructed
// before it is called.
//
// For example, given the patches {x,y,z}, the ghosted gridfns {H,J},
// and the nominal gridfns {a,b,c}, we might picture the storage like
// this:
//
//	xa xa xa ya ya za za za za
//	xb xb xb yb yb zb zb zb zb
//	xc xc xc yc yc zc zc zc zc
//
//	xH xH xH xH yH yH yH zH zH zH zH zH
//	xJ xJ xJ xJ yJ yJ yJ zJ zJ zJ zJ zJ
//
// Here the upper/lower blocks are for nominal/ghosted  gridfns.
// The storage is taken as being contiguous within each row (in fact
// within each block).  Thus the storage for all the nominal gridfns
// (or all the ghosted gridfns) in a single patch is *non*-contiguous.
//
// The creation of patches is done in several phases: first the patches
// are constructed with no gridfn storage, then we are called to set up
// the gridfn storage (taking into account the sizes of the other patches),
// then finally ghost zones are constructed and interlinked.
//
// FIXME: We should pad the gridfn storage as necessary to avoid cache
//        conflicts, but we don't do this at present.

$Header$

This directory contains a set of "hello, world" programs to test how
the C++ namespaces are handled for standard library functions.

Each .cc file is a "hello, world\n" program using a particular set of
options for what header file to #include, what (if any) using declarations
or definitions to use, and whether or not to use an explicit std::
qualifier when calling printf().

According to standard C++, #include <cstdio> puts names *only* in the
std:: namespace, so the cstdio-global.cc program should fail to compile.
All the other programs should be legal in standard C++.

Purpose of This Thorn
=====================

This thorn finds an apparent horizon (or more generally, a closed
2-surface with S^2 topology having any desired constant expansion)
given the 3D xyz-grid metric and extrinsic curvature (and optionally
the StaticConformal conformal factor).  It uses a direct method,
writing the apparent horizon equation as an elliptic PDE on
angular-coordinate space.  This is very fast and accurate, but
it does require an intitial guess for the apparent horizon position.


Documentation
=============

The doc/ directory contains detailed documentation for this thorn,
including a discussion of those parameters which you'll likely want
to set (or at least know about) in practice.  For full information
on all the parameters, see the comments in the  param.ccl  file.

The par/ directory contains some sample par files.

src/CODESTYLE documents the general programming conventions used in
this thorn.

src/PORTING.OUTSIDE.CACTUS has some general remarks on what it would
take to port this thorn to a non-Cactus numerical relativity code.

See below in this file for notes on compiling this thorn.

Other Software Required
=======================

This thorn inherits from Grid, ADMBase, StaticConformal, SpaceMask, IO
(all in the CactusBase or CactusEinstein arrangements), and
SphericalSurface (in the AEIThorns arrangement; you can get AEIThorns
by anonymous CVS checkout from cvs_anon@cvs.aei.mpg.de:/numrelcvs, CVS
path AEIThorns/SphericalSurface).

By default this thorn uses various Cactus APIs which are supplied by
other thorns:
* This thorn uses CCTK_InterpGridArrays() for interpolating grid arrays.
  This is supplied by a driver-specific thorn, such as PUGHInterp or
  CarpetInterp.
* This thorn uses CCTK_ReduceLocArrayToArray1D() for interprocessor
  communication in the multiprocessor Newton solver.
	[see src/driver/README.parallel for details]
  This is supplied by a driver-specific thorn; at present PUGHReduce
  it this for the PUGH driver.
* This thorn uses CCTK_InterpLocalUniform() for interpatch and surface
  interpolation, and it needs various interpolation options which at
  present are (only) supported by the AEIThorns/AEILocalInterp local
  interpolator.

This thorn is written in C++, so you'll need a C++ compiler -- in fact
a fairly modern one -- to compile this thorn.  See the "Compilation Notes"
section below for details.

Most of this thorn's relativity code is machine-generated using Maple
(version 7), but you don't need Maple unless you want to modify the
relativity code.

By default, this thorn doesn't use any external libraries.  However,
if HAVE_DENSE_JACOBIAN__LAPACK is defined in src/include/config.h,
then this thorn uses the LAPACK library (which in turn uses the BLAS
library), so you will need to configure your Cactus to use LAPACK.
Instructions on doing this are in the file README.library in this
directory.


Code Notes
==========

This thorn is written in C++, and requires a fairly modern C++ compiler.
In particular:
* Templates are used, but only rather simple ones for containers or other
  low-level stuff templated on the floating-point or integer datatype.
  These templates are always instantiated explicitly.
* bool, mutable, typename are used.
* The new-style casts static_cast<...> and const_cast<...> are used.
  reinterpret_cast<...> and dynamic_cast<...> are *not* used.
* The code will compile ok under either the archaic or the modern
  for-loop declaration scope rules.
* C header files are used in the pre-namespaces form (eg <stdio.h>).
  (In ISO-standard C++ this is deprecated (but still supported), but
  alas none of the more modern forms (<cstdio> and namespace std::)
  seem to be supported on as wide a range of systems as the pre-namespaces
  form.)
* <assert.h> is used fairly heavily for sanity checks.
* To avoid various portability problems, none of the C++ standard
  template library (STL) is used.


Compiler Notes
==============

This thorn should be fully portable across architectures and operating
systems, but C++ compilers may be a problem:

This thorn has been compiled and run successfully using

x86

ia64, a.k.a. Itanium
====================
* Intel(R) C++ Itanium(R) Compiler for Itanium(R)-based applications
  Version 7.0 Beta, Build 20020911
  On titan.ncsa.uiuc.edu, Denis Pollney reports success configuring Cactus
  with
    LIBS="crypt F90 CEPCF90 intrins mkl_lapack mkl_itp guide"
    LIBDIRS=/usr/local/intel/mkl/lib/64

Alpha
=====
* g++ (GCC) 3.0
  On lemieux.psc.edu, Denis Pollney reports success configuring Cactus
  with
    LIBS="m c_r dxml for"
* Using the DEC/Compaq/HP/whatever-their-corporate-name-is-this-week
  compiler, you need to specify the  -nopt  compiler option to disable
  automatic template instantiation.

SGI
===
* On modi4.ncsa.uiuc.edu (an old SGI Origin), using
  MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.3.1.3m
  you need to specify the  -no_auto_include  compiler option to disable
  automatic template instantiation.  In fact, you should probably specify
  this option on any SGI system...

IBM Power4 (AIX)
================
* C for AIX Compiler, Version 6
  On psi19.rzg.mpg.de, Denis Pollney reports success configuring Cactus
  with
    LIBS="f m lapack-essl essl"
    LIBDIRS="/afs/rzg/@sys/lib"

Please let me (Jonathan) know of any other compilers which are ok.

This thorn compiles, but does *NOT* work, using the folloing
systems/compilers; the cure is to switch to a newer compiler version:
x86
===
* gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
  (This is the system gcc on Red Hat GNU/Linux 7.2 systems)

The code will almost certainly *not* compile using
* any "egcs" version of gcc, or more generally, any version of gcc
  earlier than 2.95
* any version of Microsoft Visual C++ up to and including mid-2002

%  Cactus Thorn template for ThornGuide documentation
%  Author: Ian Kelley
%  Date: Sun Jun 02, 2002
%  $Header$
%
%  Thorn documentation in the latex file doc/documentation.tex
%  will be included in ThornGuides built with the Cactus make system.
%  The scripts employed by the make system automatically include
%  pages about variables, parameters and scheduling parsed from the
%  relevent thorn CCL files.
%
%  This template contains guidelines which help to assure that your
%  documentation will be correctly added to ThornGuides. More
%  information is available in the Cactus UsersGuide.
%
%  Guidelines:
%   - Do not change anything before the line
%       % BEGIN CACTUS THORNGUIDE",
%     except for filling in the title, author, date etc. fields.
%   - You can define your own macros are OK, but they must appear after
%     the BEGIN CACTUS THORNGUIDE line, and do not redefine standard
%     latex commands.
%   - To avoid name clashes with other thorns, 'labels', 'citations',
%     'references', and 'image' names should conform to the following
%     convention:
%       ARRANGEMENT_THORN_LABEL
%     For example, an image wave.eps in the arrangement CactusWave and
%     thorn WaveToyC should be renamed to CactusWave_WaveToyC_wave.eps
%   - Graphics should only be included using the graphix package.
%     More specifically, with the "includegraphics" command. Do
%     not specify any graphic file extensions in your .tex file. This
%     will allow us (later) to create a PDF version of the ThornGuide
%     via pdflatex. |
%   - References should be included with the latex "bibitem" command.
%   - For the benefit of our Perl scripts, and for future extensions,
%     please use simple latex.
%
% *======================================================================*
%
% Example of including a graphic image:
%    \begin{figure}[ht]
% 	\begin{center}
%    	   \includegraphics[width=6cm]{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyFigure}
% 	\end{center}
% 	\caption{Illustration of this and that}

\begin{abstract}
Thorn \thorn{AHFinderDirect} locates apparent horizons (or more
generally, closed 2-surfaces with $S^2$ topology having any desired
constant expansion) in a numerically computed slice using a direct
method, posing the apparent horizon equation as an elliptic PDE on
angular-coordinate space.  This is very fast and accurate, but
requires a ``reasonable'' initial guess.  This thorn guide describes
how to use the thorn.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}

A \defn{marginally trapped surface} is a closed 2-surface in a slice whose
congruence of future-pointing outgoing null geodesics has zero expansion.
There may be several such surfaces, some nested inside others; an
\defn{apparent horizon} is an outermost marginally trapped surface.
In terms of the usual $3+1$ variables, an apparent horizon satisfies
the equation
\begin{equation}
\Theta \equiv \del_i n^i + K_\ij n^i n^j - K = 0
					\label{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon}
\end{equation}
where $n^i$ is the outward-pointing unit normal to the apparent horizon,
and $\del_i$ is the covariant derivative operator associated with the
3-metric $g_\ij$ in the slice.  (See \cite{AHFinderDirect/York89}
for a derivation of equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon}.)
(Optionally, you can replace the right hand side
of~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon} by any specified nonzero
constant, \ie{} you can find a surface of constant
(in general nonzero) expansion.; this is dicsussed in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/other-parameters}.)

Thorn~\thorn{AHFinderDirect} finds an apparent horizon by numerically
solving equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon}.  It requires
as input the usual Cactus 3-metric $g_\ij$ and extrinsic curvature
$K_\ij$, (and optionally the conformal factor $\psi$ if the
\thorn{StaticConformal} metric semantics are used),
and produces as output the Cactus $(x,y,z)$ coordinates of a large
number of points on the apparent horizon, together with some auxiliary
information like the apparent horizon area and centroid position, and
the irreducable mass associated with the area.

Besides this thorn guide, the other main sources of information on
\thorn{AHFinderDirect} are the comments in the \verb|param.ccl| file,
the paper \cite{AHFinderDirect/Thornburg2003:AH-finding},
and to a lesser extent the paper \cite{AHFinderDirect/Thornburg95}.
As a courtesy, I ask that both these papers be cited in any published
research which uses this thorn, or which uses code from this thorn.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{What \thorn{AHFinderDirect} Needs}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-what-AHFinderDirect-needs}

There are some restrictions on the spacetime, or more precisely
on each slice where you want to find apparent horizons, which are
necessary in order for \thorn{AHFinderDirect} to work:
\begin{itemize}
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} requires that the Cactus geometry
	($g_{ij}$, $K_{ij}$, and optionally $\psi$) be nonsingular
	in a neighborhood of the apparent horizon.  In particular,
	this means that it quite certainly will {\em not\/} work for
	spacetimes/slicings which have a singular geometry on the
	horizon, such as Schwarzschild/Schwarzschild and
	Kerr/Boyer-Lindquist.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Nonsingular slicings of those same spacetimes,
	 such as Schwarzschild/Eddington-Finkelstein,
	 Kerr/Kerr, and Kerr/Kerr-Schild, are fine, and
	 are in fact nice test cases.
	 }%%%
\item	Less obviously, this also means that if there is a
	singularity in the geometry somewhere near the apparent
	horizon, then you need to have a high enough Cactus 3-D grid
	resolution that the geometry interpolation doesn't ``see''
	the singularity.  (If \thorn{AHFinderDirect} ``sees'' the
	singularity, it may ``just'' fail to find the horizon,
	and/or it may report that the interpolated $g_{ij}$ fails
	to be positive definite or even contains NaNs.)
\item	At the moment \thorn{AHFinderDirect} and the Cactus interpolators
	don't know how to avoid an excised region, so if the apparent horizon
	(or any trial horizon surface as the algorithm is iterating
	towards the apparent horizon) gets too close to an excised
	region, you'll get garbage results as the interpolator tries
	to interpolate data from the excised region.  I plan to fix
	this sometime soon.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} requires that any apparent horizon
	it's going to (try to) find must be a \defn{Strahlk\"{o}rper}
	(literally ``ray body'', or more commonly ``star-shaped region'')
	relative to some local coordinate origin (which you must specify).
	A Strahlk\"{o}rper is defined by Minkowski
	(\cite[p.~108]{AHFinderDirect/Schroeder86})
	as
	   \begin{quote}
	   a region in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space containing the
	   origin and whose surface, as seen from the origin, exhibits
	   only one point in any direction.
	   \end{quote}
	In other words, using polar spherical coordinates relative
	to the local coordinate origin, the apparent horizon's shape
	must be parameterizable as $r = h(\text{angle})$ for some
	single-valued function $h: S^2 \to \Re^+$.  (\thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	uses precisely this parameterization.)
\end{itemize}

There are also some restrictions on your Cactus configuration and run;
here's what works and what doesn't:
\begin{itemize}
\item	I {\em strongly\/} recommend using a current-CVS checkout of
	the Cactus flesh and of all relevant thorns.  I haven't tested
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} at all with older versions of the flesh
	or other thorns.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} works fine with the \thorn{PUGH} unigrid
	driver and with the \thorn{Carpet} mesh-refinement driver.  So
	far as I know it's never been tested with any other driver.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} works fine in single- or multi-processor
	Cactus runs.
\item	Obviously, your Cactus configuration must include
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect}, and your \code{ActiveThorns} parameter(s)
	must activate it.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} inherits from the other thorns
	(strictly speaking, implementations) listed in
	table~\ref{AEIThorns/AHFinderDirect/tab-inherits-from},
	so you'll need them (or more precisely some thorns providing them)
	in your configuration and activated, too.

\end{table}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\item	\verb|Grid::domain = "full"|, \verb|"bitant"|,
	\verb|"quadrant"|, and \verb|"octant"| are supported.
	Alas, at present rotating (or more precisely nonlocal)
	symmetry boundary conditions aren't supported.
\item	The \verb|ADMBase::metric_type| values \verb|"physical"| and
	\verb|"static conformal"| are supported; for the latter you must
	have storage turned on for at least the conformal factor
	\verb|StaticConformal::psi|.  (The Cactus 3-D grid functions
	for 1st and 2nd derivatives of \verb|psi| aren't used.)
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} uses the \verb|CCTK_InterpGridArrays()|
	Cactus global (multi-processor grid array) interpolator API;
	this is provided by \thorn{PUGHInterp} or \thorn{CarpetInterp}
	(so you must have the appropriate one of these thorns compiled
	in and activated).  \verb|CCTK_InterpGridArrays()| in turn uses
	the new \verb|CCTK_InterpLocalUniform()| processor-local
	interpolator API; \thorn{AHFinderDirect} uses various options
	in this API which at present are only supported by thorn
	\thorn{AEILocalInterp} (so you must have this thorn compiled in
	and activated)
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} uses various Cactus reduction APIs to
	coordinate multi-processor horizon finding, so (even if you're
	only going to run on a single processor) you must have a reduction
	thorn like \thorn{PUGHReduce} or \thorn{CarpetReduce} compiled in
	and activated.
\item	At present only a few of \thorn{AHFinderDirect}'s parameters
	are steerable.  (This is actually quite easy to fix; I just
	haven't gotten around to it yet.)
\item	I think \thorn{AHFinderDirect} will ``work'' with checkpoint/restart,
	but I haven't tested this yet.  Here ``work'' means the restart
	will be like starting a new run, in that \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	will set the initial guess for each horizon in a start-of-a-new-run
	manner.  Alas, it will also write a new \verb|BH_diagnostics| file
	for each horizon found, overwriting any existing \verb|BH_diagnostics|
	files.  This is a bug, which I plan to fix soon (the right behavior
	is/will be to {\em append\/} to the existing \verb|BH_diagnostics|
	file).
\end{itemize}

\thorn{AHFinderDirect} can pass information to the rest of Cactus in
several ways; these are described in detail in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/communicating-with-other-thorns}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{Obtaining and Compiling \thorn{AHFinderDirect}}

You should be able to obtain the source code for this thorn via the
usual procedures for anonymous git checkout; at present it lives in
the \arrangement{EinsteinAnalysis} arrangement.

This thorn is written primarily in \Cplusplus{}, calling C and
Fortran~77 numerical libraries.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 The (C) code for the relativity computations
	 (\ie{}~the apparent horizon equation itself)
	 is mainly machine-generated from Maple code,
	 which in turn uses a Perl preprocessor.
	 But the machine-generated C code is already
	 in CVS along with the rest of this thorn's
	 source code, so you don't need to have Maple
	 installed unless you want to modify the
	 relativity computations.%%%
	 }%%%
{}  In theory the code should be quite portable to modern \Cplusplus{}
compilers, but in practice I've had a number of portability problems
with various compilers.  See the ``Code Notes'' and ``Compiler Notes''
sections in the top-level \code{README} file for details and lists of
compilers currently known to be ok or not.

By default \thorn{AHFinderDirect} doesn't use any external libraries.
However, if \code{HAVE\_DENSE\_JACOBIAN\_\_LAPACK} is defined in
\code{src/include/config.h}, then \thorn{AHFinderDirect} uses the
LAPACK library for solving linear equations.  In this case you need
to configure Cactus with \code{LAPACK=yes}.  See the top-level
\code{README} and \code{README.library} files for details on this.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{\thorn{AHFinderDirect} Parameters}

This thorn has lots of parameters, but most of them have reasonable
default values which you probably won't need to change.  Here I describe
the parameters which you are likely to want to at least look at, and
possibly set explicitly.

Note that all of the ``\code{[}$n$\code{]}'' parameters are Cactus
array parameters, which you need to specify separately in your parameter
file for each apparent horizon.  {\bf IMPORTANT: Apparent horizons are
numbered starting at 1, not 0!}  The example in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-examples} should make this clear.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{Overall Parameters}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/overall-parameters}

\begin{description}
\item[\code{find\_every}]
\mbox{}\\
	This is an integer parameter specifying how often
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} should try to find apparent horizons:
	If $\verb|find_every| = 0$, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} is a no-op.
	If $\verb|find_every| \ne 0$, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} tries to
	find apparent horizons each \verb|find_every| time steps.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 More precisely, if ${\tt find\_every} \ne 0$,
	 \thorn{AHFinderDirect} tries to find apparent
	 horizons at each time step where {\tt cctk\_iteration}
	 is evenly divisible by {\tt find\_every}.
	 }%%%
{}	The default value is~1, \ie{} \thorn{AHFinderDirect} tries
	to find apparent horizons at every time step.
\item[\code{N\_horizons}]
\mbox{}\\
	How many apparent horizons do you want to find in each slice?
	Typical values are 1 (the default), 2, or 3.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Larger values are also possible.  The present upper
	 limit is 100, but it would be trivial to raise this
	 further if desired -- see the comments in \code{param.ccl}
	 for details.
	 }%%%
{}	{\bf This thorn numbers the apparent horizons from 1 to
	\code{N\_horizons} inclusive.}
	There are a number of other parameters (described below)
	which you need to set for of these each apparent horizons.

	Note that \code{N\_horizons} sets the number of apparent horizons
	you want to find {\em in the Cactus 3-D numerical grid\/}, not in
	the whole spacetime.  For example, if you are simulating (say)
	Misner data with \verb|Grid::domain = "bitant"|, with the two
	throats at (say) roughly $z = \pm 1$, then you should set
	\verb|N_horizons = 1| to find those two apparent horizons,
	since you're only finding one apparent horizon within the
	numerical grid.  If you also want to search for a common
	apparent horizon surrounding both black holes, then you should
	set \verb|N_horizons = 2|, since you're finding at most 2
	apparent horizons within the numerical grid.

\item[\code{verbose\_level}]
\mbox{}\\
	This controls how verbose this thorn is in printing
	informational (non-error) messages describing what it's
	doing.  In order from tersest to most verbose, the allowable
	values are
	\begin{description}
	\item[\code{"no output"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		Don't print anything.
	\item[\code{"physics highlights"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		Print only a single line each time
		\thorn{AHFinderDirect} runs, giving which
		horizons were found.
	\item[\code{"physics details"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		Print two lines for each horizon found, giving
		the horizon area, centroid position, and irreducible mass.
		This is the default.
	\item[\code{"algorithm highlights"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		Also print a single line for each Newton iteration giving
		the 2-norm and $\infty$-norm of the $\Theta(h)$ function
		defined by equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon}.
	\item[\code{"algorithm details"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		Print lots of detailed messages tracing what the code
		is doing.
	\item[\code{"algorithm debug"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		Print even more detailed messages tracing what the code
		is doing, mainly useful for debugging purposes.
	\end{description}
\end{description}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{Choosing the Local Coordinate Origin for each Apparent Horizon}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/local-coordinate-origin}

For each apparent horizon you want to find, you need to specify
the Cactus $(x,y,z)$ coordinates of a local coordinate system origin.
As described in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-what-AHFinderDirect-needs},
each apparent horizon must be a Strahlk\"{o}rper with respect to its
local coordinate system origin.

You specify the local coordinate system origin for each horizon with
the (Cactus array) parameters
\begin{description}
\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{origin\_x[}$n$\code{]}	\\
     \code{origin\_y[}$n$\code{]}	\\
     \code{origin\_z[}$n$\code{]}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	These all default to 0.0.
	In practice, you should set these parameters to be somewhere
	reasonably close to your best guess for the center of each apparent
	horizon.  These aren't {\em too\/} critical: being off by 1/4
	of the horizon radius is no problem, and -- assuming the algorithm
	still converges -- even 1/2 of the horizon radius only slows
	the convergence by an extra iteration or two.  But poor values
	of these parameters do make the algorithm more likely to fail
	to converge.
\end{description}

At present the local coordinate origin is fixed once you set it;
there's no provision for it to move to track a moving black hole.
I hope to add such a provision soon.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 This would be along the lines of the
	 \thorn{AHFinder} apparent horizon finder's
	 \code{AHFinder::ahf\_wander = true}
	 option.
	 }%%%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{Specifying the Initial Guess}

\thorn{AHFinderDirect} requires an initial guess
for the apparent horizon's coordinate position and shape
(that is, for the $h(\text{angle})$ function defined in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-what-AHFinderDirect-needs}),
for each apparent horizon you want to find.  Unlike some other apparent
horizon finders (\eg{}~the curvature flow method in \thorn{AHFinder}),
for \thorn{AHFinderDirect} there's no restriction on whether the initial
guess is inside, outside, or crossing the actual apparent horizon: the
only important thing is that it should be ``close''.  Just how close
the initial guess needs to be for \thorn{AHFinderDirect} to find the
(a) apparent horizon depends on the slice and the coordinates, but as
a general rule of thumb any initial guess that's within 1/3 to 1/2 of
the mean horizon radius will probably work.

The ``initial guess'' specification is used the first time we try to
find any given apparent horizon, and also any succeeding time when the
most recent attempt to find this apparent horizon failed.  If we succeed
in finding a given apparent horizon, than that apparent horizon position
is automatically reused as the initial guess the next time we try to
find the same apparent horizon; in this case the explicit ``initial guess''
specification is ignored.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 This is similar to the \thorn{AHFinder} apparent
	 horizon finder's behavior with the
	 \code{AHFinder::ahf\_guessold = true}
	 option.
	 }%%%

There are a number of parameters for specifying the initial guess:
\begin{description}
\item[\code{initial\_guess\_method[}$n$\code{]}]
\mbox{}\\
	This sets what type of the initial guess is used for each
	apparent horizon position.
	There are several possibilities, most with their own sets
	of subparameters:%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 The naming scheme for these is similar to
	 that used in the \thorn{Exact} thorn.
	 }%%%
$^,$%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 For the Kerr parameters, note that this thorn
	 always uses the convention that the spin parameter
	 $a \equiv J/m^2$ is dimensionless.
	 }%%%
	\begin{description}
	\item[\code{"read from file"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		This reads the initial-guess $h(\text{angle})$ function
		from a data file.  The file format is currently hard-wired
		to be that written with \verb|file_format = "ASCII (gnuplot)"|
		(see below).  The subparameter
		\verb|initial_guess__read_from_named_file__file_name|
		specifies the file name.
	\item[\code{"Kerr/Kerr"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		This sets the initial guess to the analytically-known
		apparent horizon position in a Kerr spacetime
		in Kerr coordinates.  This is a coordinate sphere
		of radius $(1 + \sqrt{1 - a^2}) m$.
		There are subparameters
		\begin{description}
		\item[%%%
		     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
		     \code{initial\_guess\_\_Kerr\_Kerr\_\_x\_posn[}$n$\code{]} \\

		     \code{initial\_guess\_\_Kerr\_Kerr\_\_z\_posn[}$n$\code{]} %%%\\
		     \end{tabular}%%%
		     ]
		\mbox{}\\
			to set the position of the Kerr black hole
			(note this position is in {\em global\/} Cactus
			coordinates, not relative to the local coordinate
			origin), and
		\item[%%%
		     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
		     \code{initial\_guess\_\_Kerr\_Kerr\_\_mass[}$n$\code{]} \\

		     \end{tabular}%%%
		     ]
		\mbox{}\\
			to set its mass and spin.
		\end{description}
	\item[\code{"Kerr/Kerr-Schild"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		This sets the initial guess to the analytically-known
		apparent horizon position in a Kerr spacetime in
		Kerr-Schild coordinates.  This is a coordinate ellipsoid
		with radia (semi-major axes)
		\begin{equation}

\subsection{I/O Parameters for the Apparent Horizon Shape(s)}

The main output of this thorn is the computed horizon shape function
$h({\rm angle})$, and correspondingly the $(x,y,z)$ coordinate positions
of the apparent-horizon-surface (angular) grid points.  There are several
parameters controlling if, how often, and how these should be written
to data files:

\begin{description}
\item[\code{output\_h\_every}]
\mbox{}\\
	As described in
	section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/overall-parameters},
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} will try to find the apparent horizon(s)
	every \verb|find_every| time steps.  However, you can control
	how often (if at all) the apparent horizon shape(s) are written
	to data files: this is only done if \verb|output_h_every|
	is nonzero, and the Cactus time step number \verb|cctk_iteration|
	is an integral multiple of this parameter (\verb|output_h_every|).

\item[\code{file\_format}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the file format for horizon-shape (and other
	angular-grid-function) data files.  Unfortunately, at the
	moment only a single format is implemented,
	\begin{description}
	\item[\code{"ASCII (gnuplot)"}]
	\mbox{}\\
		This is a simple ASCII format designed for easy
		plotting with gnuplot:
		\begin{itemize}
		\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} writes a separate data file
			for each Cactus time step and for each apparent
			horizon found.  By default these are all written
			in to the \verb|IOUtil::out_dir| directory;
			see \verb|h_directory| (below) to change this.
		\item	The time step number and the apparent horizon number
			are both encoded in the file name; the actual
			file name is given by a \verb|printf()| format
			\verb|"%s/%s.t%d.ah%d.%s"|, where
			\begin{itemize}
			\item	the first \verb|%s| is the directory
				set by the \verb|IO::out_dir| and/or
				\verb|h_directory| parameters (see below)
			\item	the second \verb|%s| is the base file name
				set by the \verb|h_base_file_name|
				parameter (see below)
			\item	the first \verb|%d| is the
				Cactus time step number
			\item	the second \verb|%d| is the
				apparent horizon number
			\item	the third \verb|%s| is the
				file name extension, set by the
				\verb|ASCII_gnuplot_file_name_extension|
				parameter; this defaults to \verb|"gp"|
			\end{itemize}
		\item	Comment lines begin with \verb|#|.
		\item	Patches are separated by 2 blank lines;
			rows of apparent-horizon points within a patch
			are separated by single blank lines.
		\item	Each apparent-horizon-surface point
			is described by a single line, containing
			the whitespace-separated fields
			\begin{itemize}
			\item	Two ``unwrapped'' angular coordinates
				in degrees, representing a point on $S^2$.
			\item	The $h$ value, giving the radius
				of the apparent horizon surface
				at that angle.
			\item	The corresponding Cactus $(x,y,z)$
				coordinates.
			\end{itemize}
		\end{itemize}
		See section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-visualization}
		for a discussion of visualization for these and other
		\thorn{AHFinderDirect} output files.
	\end{description}

\item[\code{h\_directory}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the directory in which the $h$ data files
	are to be written.  If it doesn't already exist, this directory
	is created before writing the data files.  This parameter
	defaults to the value of the \verb|IO::out_dir| parameter.

\item[\code{h\_base\_file\_name}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the base file name for $h$ data files, as
	described above.  This defaults to "h".

\item[\code{ASCII\_gnuplot\_file\_name\_extension}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the file name extension for $h$ data files, as
	described above.  This defaults to "gp".
\end{description}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{Parameters for the ``BH\_diagnostics'' Files}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/BH-diagnostics-parameters}

As well as the apparent horizon shape files, this thorn can also
write files giving time series of various diagnostics.  These are
controlled by the following parameters:

\begin{description}
\item[\code{output\_BH\_diagnostics}]
\mbox{}\\
	If this Boolean parameter is set to true,
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} will write a ``black hole diagnostics''
	file for each distinct apparent horizon found
	(up to \verb|N_horizons| files in all).  Each such file
	contains a time series of various diagnostics for all time
	steps when the corresponding apparent horizon was found.
	The file format is again a simple ASCII format designed
	for easy plotting with gnuplot:
	\begin{itemize}
	\item	The apparent horizon number is encoded in the file name;
		the actual file name is given by a \verb|printf()| format
		\verb|"%s/%s.ah%d.%s"|, where
		\begin{itemize}
		\item	the first \verb|%s| is the directory
			set by the \verb|IO::out_dir| and/or
			\verb|BH_diagnostics_directory| parameters (see below)
		\item	the second \verb|%s| is the base file name
			set by the \verb|BH_diagnostics_base_file_name|
			parameter (see below); this defaults to
			\verb|"BH_diagnostics"|
		\item	the \verb|%d| is the apparent horizon number
		\item	the third \verb|%s| is the file name extension,
			set by the \verb|BH_diagnostics_file_name_extension|
			parameter; this defaults to \verb|"gp"|
		\end{itemize}
	\item	The file begins with a block of header comments
		(lines begining with \verb|#|) describing the data
		fields.
	\item	Each time this apparent horizon is found, a single
		line is appended to the data file, containing various
		whitespace-separated fields.  The the precise list of
		fields, see the header comments, or see the function
		\verb|output()| in \verb|src/driver/BH_diagnostics.cc|.
		As of this writing the fields are:
		\begin{itemize}
		\item	the Cactus iteration number \verb|cctk_iteration|
		\item	the Cactus time coordinate \verb|cctk_time|
		\item	the Cactus $(x,y,z)$ coordinates of the apparent
			horizon centroid
		\item	the minimum, maximum, and mean coordinate radia
			of the apparent horizon about the local
			coordinate origin
		\item	the minimum and maximum Cactus $x$, $y$, and $z$
			coordinates of the apparent horizon surface
		\item	the proper circumferences of the apparent horizon
			in the $xy$, $xz$, and $yz$ local-coordinate planes%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that if the apparent horizon is not
	 symmetric across one of these coordinate planes,
	 then the circumference in this plane is not
	 very meaningful.  In particular, in this case
	 this circumference is probably different from
	 the apparent horizon's maximum ``hoop'' circumference.
	 }%%%
		\item	the $xz/xy$ and $yz/xy$ ratios of the proper
			circumferences
		\item	the proper area of the apparent horizon, $A$
		\item	the irreducible mass of the apparent horizon,
			$\sqrt{A/16\pi}$
		\item	the areal radius of the apparent horizon,
			$\sqrt{A/4\pi}$
		\end{itemize}
	\end{itemize}

\item[\code{BH\_diagnostics\_directory}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the directory in which the black hole diagnostics
	data files are to be written.  If it doesn't already exist, this
	directory is created before writing the data files.  This parameter
	defaults to the value of the \verb|IO::out_dir| parameter.

\item[\code{BH\_diagnostics\_base\_file\_name}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the base file name for black hole diagnostics
	data files, as described above.  This defaults to
	\verb|"BH_diagnostics"|.

\item[\code{BH\_diagnostics\_file\_name\_extension}]
\mbox{}\\
	This specifies the file name extension for black hole diagnostics
	data files, as described above.  This defaults to \verb|"gp"|.
\end{description}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{(Excision) Mask Parameters}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/mask-parameters}

This thorn can optionally set a mask grid function (or functions)
at each point of the Cactus grid, to indicate where that point is
with respect to the apparent horizon(s).  This is usually used for
excision.

\begin{description}
\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{set\_mask\_for\_all\_horizons}			\\
     \code{set\_mask\_for\_individual\_horizon[}$n$\code{]}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	These Boolean parameters control whether \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	should set a mask grid function(s): If the (C) expression
	\verb:set_mask_for_all_horizons || set_mask_for_individual_horizon[i]:
	is true, then \thorn{AHFinderDirect} will set a mask grid
	function(s) for apparent horizon $i$.
	All these parameters default to false (don't set a mask).

	If any of these parameters is set to true, you almost certainly
	also need to set the Boolean parameter \verb|SpaceMask::use_mask|
	to true to to turn on storage for the mask grid function(s)!
\end{description}

If it's setting a mask(s), \thorn{AHFinderDirect} partitions the
Cactus grid into 3~regions: an \defn{inside}, a \defn{buffer},
and an \defn{outside}.  Typically the inner region is excised, but
\thorn{AHFinderDirect} doesn't itself do this:  It just sets the mask(s);
you need to use some other thorn(s) to do the actual excision.

The 3~regions are defined as follows:  For a grid point a distance $r[i]$
from horizon~$i$'s local coordinate origin, with horizon~$i$'s radius
in this same direction (again, measured from its local coordinate origin)
being $r_{\text horizon}[i]$,%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that these are flat-space distances
	 $[(x-x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 + (z-z_0)^2]^{1/2}$
	 -- the spacetime metric is {\em not\/} used here.
	 }%%%
{} the regions are defined by
\begin{equation}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.333}
\begin{tabular}{l@{~}lll@{~}lll}
$r[i] \le r{	ext{r}}[i]$	& \text{for some $i$}
	&
	&				&
	& $\Rightarrow$	& \text{inner}					\\
$r[i] >   r_{\text{r}}[i]$	& \text{for all $i$}
	& \text{and}	&
	$r[i] \le r_{\text{r}}[i]$	& \text{for some $i$}
	& $\Rightarrow$	& \text{buffer}					\\
$r[i] >   r_{\text{r}}[i]$	& \text{for all $i$}
	&
	&				&
	& $\Rightarrow$	& \text{outer}				%%%\\
\end{tabular}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.333}
\begin{array}{lcl}
r_{\text{r}}
	& = &	\verb|mask_radius_multiplier| \times r_{\text{n}}
		\,\,+\,\,
		\verb|mask_radius_offset| \times {\Delta x}_{\text{e}}
									\\
r_{\text{r}}
	& = &	r_{\text{r}}
		\,\,+\,\,
		\verb|mask_buffer_thickness| \times {\Delta x}_{\text{e}}
									%%%\\
\end{array}
				\label{AHFinderDirect/eqn-r-inside-outside}
\end{equation}
and where ${\Delta x}_{\text{e}}$ is the base-grid Cactus grid spacing
(more precisely, the geometric mean of the base grid's $x$, $y$,
and $z$ Cactus grid spacings)%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 The ``base grid'' part here only matters if
	 you're doing mesh refinement, in which case
	 it's necessary to keep excision consistent
	 between the different refinement levels.
	 }%%%
.

\begin{description}
\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{mask\_radius\_multiplier}	\\
     \code{mask\_radius\_offset}	\\
     \code{mask\_buffer\_thickness}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	These parameters are used to define the radia $r_{\text{r}}$
	and $r_{\text{r}}$ in
	equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-r-inside-outside} above.

	Note that the sign convention here is that
	\verb|mask_radius_multiplier| is {\em multiplied\/}
	by the horizon radius, then \verb|mask_radius_offset|
	(scaled by the Cactus grid spacing) is {\em added\/}.
	Thus for use with excision (where the inner region --
	which will be excised -- must be somewhat {\em inside\/}
	the horizon), \verb|mask_radius_multiplier| should be a
	positive real number slightly less than~1.0, and/or
	\verb|mask_radius_offset| a negative real number.

	The default values for these parameters are
	\begin{verbatim}
	mask_radius_multiplier =  0.8
	mask_radius_offset     = -5.0
	mask_buffer_thickness  =  5.0
	\end{verbatim}

\item[\code{mask\_is\_noshrink}]
\mbox{}\\
	This Boolean parameter specifies whether the inside and
	buffer regions should be prevented from ever shrinking
	during a time evolution (this is the default), or whether
	they should be set independently from one time step to the
	next (and thus allowed to either grow or shrink).  More
	precisely, once a given grid point has been classified as
	inside, buffer, or outside, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} executes
	the following algorithm:
	\begin{description}
	\item[inside]\mbox{}\\[-\baselineskip]
		\begin{tabbing}
		$\verb|mask| \assign \verb|inside_value|$		  %%%\\
		\end{tabbing}
	\item[buffer]\mbox{}\\[-\baselineskip]
		\begin{tabbing}
		if \=(\verb|mask_is_noshrink|
		      \verb|&&|
		      ($\verb|mask| = \verb|inside_value|$))		\+\\
		   then \=\{						\+\\
			\verb|#|
			this point was previously {\bf inside}
			$\Rightarrow$ no-op here			  \\
			\}						\-\\
		   else \>$\verb|mask| \assign \verb|buffer_value|$	\-%%%\\
		\end{tabbing}
	\item[outside]\mbox{}\\[-\baselineskip]
		\begin{tabbing}
		if \=(\verb|mask_is_noshrink|
		      \verb|&&|
		      (($\verb|mask| = \verb|inside_value|$)
		       \verb.||. ($\verb|mask| = \verb|buffer_value|$))	\+\\
		   then \=\{						\+\\
			\verb|#|
			this point was previously {\bf inside}
			or {\bf buffer} $\Rightarrow$ no-op here	  \\
			\}						\-\\
		   else \>$\verb|mask| \assign \verb|outside_value|$	\-%%%\\
		\end{tabbing}
	\end{description}

\item[\code{min\_horizon\_radius\_points\_for\_mask}]
\mbox{}\\
	By default, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} sets the mask for each
	apparent horizon found.  If we're using mesh refinement, it's
	possible for an apparent horizon to be found on a coarse grid,
	and the masked region to be only a few grid points across on
	a fine grid.  This causes some other Cactus thorns
	(\eg{} \thorn{LegoExcision}) to crash. :(

	This parameter can be used to avoid this problem:
	For each apparent horizon that it finds, \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	only sets the mask on a given grid if
	\begin{equation}
	r_{\text{inner},\min} \ge \verb|min_horizon_radius_points_for_mask|
		     * {\Delta x}_{\text{current},\max}
	\end{equation}
	where $r_{\text{inner},\min}$ is the minimum over all angles
	of $r_{\text{r}}$ as defined by
	equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-r-inside-outside},
	and ${\Delta x}_{\text{current},\max}$ is the maximum of the
	Cactus $x$, $y$, and~$z$ grid spacings on the current Cactus
	grid.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that this is the {\bf current\/} Cactus
	 grid spacing, not the {\bf base\/} Cactus grid
	 spacing that's used when calculating
	 $r_{\text{r}}$ and $r_{\text{r}}$ by
	 equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-r-inside-outside}.
	 }%%%
{}	If this condition isn't satisfied, then \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	skips setting the mask for this apparent horizon, just as if
	this apparent horizon wasn't found.  (Note that all other
	processing for an apparent horizon being found is still done,
	including writing output files, using the apparent horizon shape
	as the initial guess for the next time step's apparent-horizon
	finding, etc.; it's only the mask processing for this horizon
	(at this time step) that's skipped.)
\end{description}

\thorn{AHFinderDirect} supports two types of mask grid functions;
the following two Boolean parameters choose which of them you want
to set; you can set either or even both of these:
\begin{description}
\item[\code{set\_old\_style\_mask}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter (default \verb|true|) specifies an
	old-style excision mask, one stored in a \verb|CCTK_REAL|
	Cactus grid function.  (The \thorn{AHFinder} apparent horizon
	finder uses this type of mask.)

\item[\code{set\_new\_style\_mask}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter (default \verb|false|) specifies a
	new-style excision mask, one stored in a specified bit field
	of a \verb|CCTK_INT| Cactus grid function.
	The bit field is specified by its name,
	as registered with the \thorn{SpaceMask} thorn.
	We plan to eventually convert all Cactus excision
	(and other uses of mask grid functions) to this scheme,
	but at the moment not much code supports it.
	Note that \thorn{AHFinderDirect} doesn't itself create/register
	any bit fields or state names with \thorn{SpaceMask} --
	you must arrange for some other thorn(s) to do this.
\end{description}

For an old-style mask, the following parameters specify the mask grid
function and how it should be set:
\begin{description}
\item[\code{old\_style\_mask\_gridfn\_name}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter specifies the mask grid function's name.

\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{old\_style\_mask\_inside\_value}	\\
     \code{old\_style\_mask\_buffer\_value}	\\
     \code{old\_style\_mask\_outside\_value}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	If an old-style mask is to be set in the corresponding
	regions, these parameters specify the values to which
	it should be set.  These are all \verb|CCTK_REAL| values.
\end{description}

For an new-style mask, the following parameters specify the mask grid
function and how it should be set:
\begin{description}
\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{new\_style\_mask\_gridfn\_name}	\\
     \code{new\_style\_mask\_bitfield\_name}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	These parameters specify the mask grid function's name
	and the bitfield name within it.

\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{new\_style\_mask\_inside\_value}	\\
     \code{new\_style\_mask\_buffer\_value}	\\
     \code{new\_style\_mask\_outside\_value}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	If an new-style mask is to be set in the corresponding
	regions, these parameters specify the values to which
	it should be set.  These are all character-string state
	names, as registered with the \thorn{SpaceMask} thorn.
\end{description}
Note that \thorn{AHFinderDirect} doesn't itself register any bitfields
or states with \thorn{SpaceMask} -- you must arrange for some other thorn(s)
to do this before \thorn{AHFinderDirect} tries to find the horizon(s).

If \thorn{AHFinderDirect} sets a mask or masks, this happens in the
same schedule bin(s) as the horizon finding.  More precisely,
\thorn{AHFinderDirect} creates two schedule groups for this purpose:
\begin{itemize}
\item	The schedule group \verb|group_for_mask_stuff| is
	scheduled to run just after the horizon is found.
\item	The schedule group \verb|group_where_mask_is_set|
	is scheduled inside the schedule group \verb|group_for_mask_stuff|.
\item	The actual setting of the mask is scheduled inside
	the schedule group \verb|group_where_mask_is_set|.
\end{itemize}
Thorn \thorn{PreviousMask} uses these schedule groups to keep a
``previous'' as well as a ``current'' mask.  See that thorn's thorn
guide for further details.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{Communicating with Other Thorns}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/communicating-with-other-thorns}

Besides the data files it writes, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} currently
has three ways to communicate with other Cactus thorns:
\begin{itemize}
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} can set a mask grid function(s) based
	on the (a) horizon's shape; other thorns may then use this for
	excision or other purposes.  \thorn{AHFinderDirect} supports
	both the old-style (\verb|CCTK_REAL|) mask
	(compatible with \thorn{AHFinder}) or
	the new-style (\verb|CCTK_INT|) mask bit-fields defined by
	\thorn{SpaceMask}; you can even use both styles simultaneously.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} can announce a selected horizon's centroid
	position to another thorn (typically \thorn{DriftCorrect}, which
	uses this to adjust its corotating shift vector).
	This uses the new function-aliasing version of \thorn{DriftCorrect},
	not the old version which worked with an auxiliary thorn
	\thorn{AHFSetDCCentroid}.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} provides a set of aliased functions
	which any other thorn(s) can call to find out the shape of
	a specified horizon.
\item	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} can store information about the
	horizon(s) it finds in the \thorn{SphericalSurface} variables
	for other thorns to use.
\end{itemize}

\thorn{AHFinderDirect}'s mask features are described in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/mask-parameters};
the other communication mechanisms are described in the following
subsections.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsubsection{Parameters for Announcing a Horizon Centroid to Other Thorns}

This thorn can optionally announce the centroid of a specified
apparent horizon to another thorn (typically \thorn{DriftCorrect})
each time that apparent horizon is found.  This is controlled by the
following parameter:

\begin{description}
\item[\code{which\_horizon\_to\_announce\_centroid}]
\mbox{}\\
	This is an integer parameter which defaults to
	0 (which means not to announce any centroid).
	If it's set to a nonzero integer, that specifies the
	horizon number to have its centroid announced.
\end{description}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsubsection{Aliased Functions to Provide Horizon-Shape Information}

\thorn{AHFinderDirect} provides the following aliased functions
to allow other thorns to find out about the horizons.  Each function
returns a status code which is $\ge 0$~for ok, or negative for an error.
\begin{verbatim}
#
# This function returns the local coordinate origin for a given horizon.
#
CCTK_INT FUNCTION HorizonLocalCoordinateOrigin                          \
   (CCTK_INT IN horizon_number,                                         \
    CCTK_REAL OUT origin_x, CCTK_REAL OUT origin_y, CCTK_REAL OUT origin_z)

#

\subsubsection{Storing Horizon-Shape Information in the \thorn{SphericalSurface} Variables}

\thorn{SphericalSurface} (in the \thorn{AEIThorns} arrangement)
defines a set of generic grid arrays which describe ``spherical surfaces''.
\thorn{AHFinderDirect} can optionally store information about the
horizons it finds in the \thorn{SphericalSurface} variables.
This is controlled by the following parameters:
\begin{description}
\item[\code{which\_surface\_to\_store\_info[}$n$\code{]}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter should be set to the \thorn{SphericalSurface}
	surface number into which information on a given \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	horizon should be stored, or to -1 to skip storing the information.
	It defaults to -1 for each horizon.

	{\bf Note that \thorn{SphericalSurface} numbers surfaces
	starting from 0, whereas \thorn{AHFinderDirect} numbers
	horizons starting from 1!}

	At present, if multiple \thorn{AHFinderDirect} horizons
	specify the same \thorn{SphericalSurface} surface, the
	highest-numbered horizon will ``win'', \ie{} it will overwrite
	the data from any lower-numbered horizons.
\end{description}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{Other Parameters}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/other-parameters}

\begin{description}
\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{run\_at\_CCTK\_ANALYSIS}			\\
     \code{run\_at\_CCTK\_POSTSTEP}			\\
     \code{run\_at\_CCTK\_POSTINITIAL}			\\
     \code{run\_at\_CCTK\_POST\_RECOVER\_VARIABLES}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	These parameters (which default to \verb|true|, \verb|false|,
	\verb|false|, and \verb|true| respectively) control which
	schedule bins \thorn{AHFinderDirect} runs in.  Historically,
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} ran in CCTK\_ANALYSIS, and that's
	still the default, but these parameters allow you to change this
	so it runs in CCTK\_POSTSTEP and/or CCTK\_POSTINITIAL
	instead.  (You can even run in all three bins if you want!)

	In general we need to run at CCTK\_POST\_RECOVER\_VARIABLES, since
	\begin{itemize}
	\item	parameters may have been steered at recovery, so we may need
		to find a new horizon or horizons, and
	\item	we need to set the mask again to make sure it's correct
		right away (since our next regular horizon-finding may not
		be until some time steps later)
	\end{itemize}
	Therefore the \verb|run_at_CCTK_POST_RECOVER_VARIABLES| parameter
	should probably be left at its default setting of \verb|true|.

\item[%%%
     \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
     \code{geometry\_interpolator\_name}	\\
     \code{geometry\_interpolator\_pars}	%%%\\
     \end{tabular}
     ]
\mbox{}\\
	These parameters control the (3-D) \defn{geometry interpolation}
	of the spacetime geometry ($g_{ij}$ and $K_{ij}$, or their
	\thorn{StaticConformal} equivalents) to the apparent horizon
	position.  The defaults are set to use a quadratic Hermite
	interpolator.  This works fairly well, but because of the interpolator
	molecule size you must use $\verb|driver::ghost_size| \ge 2$.

	If you want to get very high accuracy from \thorn{AHFinderDirect},
	then you should use a cubic Hermite geometry interpolator, by
	setting
\begin{verbatim}
AHFinderDirect::geometry_interpolator_pars = "
  order=3
  boundary_off_centering_tolerance={1.0e-10 1.0e-10 1.0e-10 1.0e-10 1.0e-10 1.0e-10}
  boundary_extrapolation_tolerance={0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0}
                                             "
\end{verbatim}
	Assuming perfectly accurate geometry variables in the 3-D Cactus grid,
	this will make \thorn{AHFinderDirect} (very) roughly an order
	of magnitude more accurate.  However, the larger molecule size
	will make it about a factor of 2--3~slower, and will also require
	that you set $\verb|driver::ghost_size| \ge 3$.
	The sample parameter file \verb|par/Kerr-order3.par|
	shows an example of this.

\item[\code{N\_zones\_per\_right\_angle[}$n$\code{]}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter sets the angular resolution used to compute
	each patch.  The units are the number of angular grid zones
	per right angle.  The default is 18, \ie{} a 5~degree angular
	resolution.  There's no problem with this parameter varying
	from one horizon to another, but for simplicity it should be
	even.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 More precisely, it {\em must\/} be even for
	 any horizon whose patch system type is anything
	 other than {\tt "full sphere"}.  See the comments
	 in {\tt param.ccl} for further information.%%%
	 }%%%

{}	For any horizon which is close to spherical about its
	local coordinate origin, you can lower this parameter to make
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} run faster (typical run-times scale
	roughly as the cube of this parameter); 6~is about the
	minimum reasonable value.

	For any horizon which is highly non-spherical about its
	local coordinate origin, you can raise this parameter to
	get better resolution; 30~should be enough for even a
	highly non-spherical horizon.

\item[\code{max\_allowable\_horizon\_radius[}$n$\code{]}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter gives the maximum mean-coordinate-radius
	which any given trial surface may have in the course of
	trying to solve the apparent horizon equation.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that this is an unweighted arithmetic
	 mean over the horizon-surface grid points,
	 the same value which is printed as \code{r\_grid}
	 during the horizon-finding iterations.
	 }%%%
{}	In particular, if any trial surface has a mean coordinate radius
	which exceeds this parameter, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} gives up
	and deems this apparent horizon to be ``not found''.

	This parameter defaults to $10^{10}$ (effectively $+\infty$)
	for each apparent horizon.  You can set it to a smaller value
	to make \thorn{AHFinderDirect} a bit more efficient, or
	(probably more important in practice) to stop
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} from iterating off the edge of the grid
	if this causes problems with interpolation or boundary conditions.

\item[\code{max\_allowable\_Theta}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter gives the maximum $\|\Theta\|_\infty$
	which any given trial surface may have in the course of
	trying to solve the apparent horizon equation.
	In particular, if any trial surface has $\|\Theta\|_\infty$
	exceeding this parameter, \thorn{AHFinderDirect} gives up
	and deems this apparent horizon to be ``not found''.
	This parameter defaults to $10^{10}$ (effectively $+\infty$)
	for each apparent horizon.

\item[\code{surface\_expansion[}$n$\code{]}]
\mbox{}\\
	This parameter (which defaults to 0.0) sets the expansion
	of each surface.  With the default setting this thorn
	solves~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon} to find apparent
	horizons.  With other settings of this parameter this thorn
	can be used to find \defn{surfaces of constant expansion};
	these may be useful for excision, wave extraction, or
	other purposes (\cite{AHFinderDirect/Schnetter03a}).

	To help in choosing the value(s) of the
	\verb|surface_expansion[|$n$\verb|]| parameter,
	figure~\ref{AHFinderDirect/fig-Schwarzschild-EF-Theta(r)}
	(from \cite{AHFinderDirect/Thornburg95}),
	shows the expansion of $r = \text{constant}$ surfaces
	in an Eddington-Finkelsteon slice of the unit-mass
	Schwarzschild spacetime.

\section{Monitoring \thorn{AHFinderDirect}'s Status}

There are two primary ways of monitoring what \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
is doing during a Cactus run: the \verb|BH_diagnostics| files and the
\verb|CCTK_INFO| messages written to the Cactus standard output:

The \verb|BH_diagnostics| files are described in detail in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/BH-diagnostics-parameters}.
These files are written and ``flushed'' at each time step, so they're
always up-to-date.

During the apparent-horizon--finding process, \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
writes various \verb|CCTK_INFO| messages describing the convergence
of the iterative solution of the apparent horizon
equation~\ref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon} on each processor.
In particular, if \verb|verbose_level| is set to
\verb|"algorithm highlights"| or a more verbose setting
(\cf{}~section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/overall-parameters}),
then \thorn{AHFinderDirect} writes \verb|CCTK_INFO| messages like
these:
\begin{verbatim}
INFO (AHFinderDirect):    proc 0/horizon 1:it 1 r_grid=0.595 ||Theta||=1.1e-01
INFO (AHFinderDirect):    proc 0/horizon 1:it 2 r_grid=0.614 ||Theta||=7.2e-02
INFO (AHFinderDirect):    proc 0/horizon 1:it 3 r_grid=0.632 ||Theta||=2.9e-02
INFO (AHFinderDirect):    proc 0/horizon 1:it 4 r_grid=0.642 ||Theta||=9.9e-04
INFO (AHFinderDirect):    proc 0/horizon 1:it 5 r_grid=0.642 ||Theta||=7.9e-07
INFO (AHFinderDirect):    proc 0/horizon 1:it 6 r_grid=0.642 ||Theta||=7.2e-13
INFO (AHFinderDirect): AH 1/2: r=0.660716 at (0.000000,0.000000,1.127434)
INFO (AHFinderDirect): AH 1/2: area=338.0473838 m_irreducible=2.59330658
INFO (AHFinderDirect): writing h to "misner.h.t0.ah1.gp"
\end{verbatim}
Here \verb|r_grid| is a rough estimate of the mean radius of
the trial surface at each iteration, and \verb:||Theta||: is the
infinity-norm of $\Theta$, the left hand side of the apparent
horizon equation~\ref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon} over the surface.
Once the apparent horizon has been found
(\verb:||Theta||: is sufficiently small), then \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
prints its mean radius,%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that this may differ significantly from
	 the last iterations' estimated radius.  This
	 is because the mean radius printed during the
	 iterations is only a rough estimate (it's the
	 unweighted arithmetic mean of the radius at
	 all the horizon-surface grid points), while
	 the radius printed after the horizon is found
	 is a more accurate value (it's computed via
	 numerical integrals over the surface, taking
	 into account the induced metric).
	 }%%%
{} centroid position, area, and irreducible mass.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{Visualization}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-visualization}

There are several ways to visualize \thorn{AHFinderDirect}'s output:

The simplest is to plot various quantities from the
\verb|BH_diagnostics| files (described in detail in
section~\ref{AHFinderDirect/sect-parameters/BH-diagnostics-parameters}).
For example, using gnuplot (\verb|http://www.gnuplot.info|), you can
plot a graph of the surface area of horizon \#4 as a function of
coordinate time, with the command
\begin{verbatim}
plot 'BH_diagnostics.ah4.gp' using 2:26 with points
\end{verbatim}
ygraph (\verb|http://www.aei.mpg.de/~pollney/ygraph/|) may also be
able to directly plot the \verb|BH_diagnostics| files.

Given a horizon-shape data file \verb|h.t105.h4.gp|, the gnuplot
command
\begin{verbatim}
splot 'h.t105.h4.gp' with lines
\end{verbatim}
will plot the $h(\text{angle})$ function, with the $x$ and $y$~axes
of the plot being the two ``unwrapped'' angular coordinates on $S^2$,
in degrees, and the $z$~axis being $h(\text{angle})$.  However,
in practice this usually isn't very informative.  Instead, you
probably want the gnuplot command
\begin{verbatim}
splot 'h.t105.h4.gp' using 4:5:6 with lines
\end{verbatim}
which will plot the 3-D shape of the apparent horizon surface.

The \verb|src/misc| directory of the \thorn{AHFinderDirect} source
code contains several perl scripts which are useful in visualizing
\thorn{AHFinderDirect} output.  In particular, the script \verb|select.plane|
selects a particular 2-D plane.  If you put this in your Unix path,
it can be used with a gnuplot command like
\begin{verbatim}
splot '<select.plane xy <h.t105.h4.gp' using 4:5 with lines
\end{verbatim}
to show the shape of an apparent horizon in the xy plane.%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that this script isn't very smart: it doesn't
	 know about the \thorn{AHFinderDirect} local coordinate
	 origin.  That is, for example, if you select the $xy$
	 plane, you're selecting the \emph{global} $xy$ plane
	 ($z=0$).
	 }%%%

Another Visualization option is OpenDX (\verb|http://www.opendx.org/|).
Thomas Radke's has written some OpenDX macros
\program{ImportAHFinderDirectGnuplot.net}
and \program{ImportAHFinderDirectGnuplotPatch.net}
to import \thorn{AHFinderDirect} horizon-shape data files.  
These macros use a set of ``control files'' named \verb|*.dx|,
one per horizon, which \thorn{AHFinderDirect} (by default) writes
into the same directory as the main horizon--shape output files.
You can get these macros by anonymous CVS with the command
\begin{verbatim}
cvs -d :pserver:cvs_anon@cvs.aei.mpg.de:/numrelcvs \
     checkout AEIPhysics/Visualization/OpenDX
\end{verbatim}

Another Visualization option is to produce files in the standard
Xdmf~\cite{AHFinderDirect/Xdmf:web} file format which can be visualized for
example using VisIt~\cite{AHFinderDirect/VisIt:web}. Frank L\"offler has
written a python script \program{AH2xdmf.py}, which is included in this
thorn's code repository, which generates such files from
\thorn{AHFinderDirect}'s output from horizon shape files
\verb|h.t%d.ah%d.gp\|. Please see its help text for details.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{Accuracy}

The apparent horizon positions are typically computed very accurately;
tests on Kerr spacetimes give typical errors of $10^{-4}m$ to $10^{-5}m$.

The various diagnostics printed to standard output and written to the
black hole diagnostics file(s), are typically computed to accuracies
on the order of a part per million or so.

Note, however, that the irreducible mass $m_{\text{e}}$
may differ considerably from the black hole's local mass or its
contribution to the slice's ADM mass.  For example, for Kerr spacetime
in Kerr-Schild coordinates,
$m_{\text{e}}/m_{\text{M}} = 0.949$, $0.894$, and $0.723$
for spin parameters $a \equiv J/m^2 = 0.6$, $0.8$, and $0.999$, respectively.
It would be better to (also) use the ``isolated horizons'' formalism of
\cite{AHFinderDirect/Dreyer-etal-2002-isolated-horizons};
at some point this thorn may be enhanced to do this.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{Examples}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-examples}

There are a few example parameter files in the \code{par/} directory,
including Kerr initial data, Misner initial data, and Misner time-evolution
tests.  The \verb|Kerr-tiny.par| parameter file is close to a minimal
\thorn{AHFinderDirect} example:

\begin{verbatim}
# This parameter file sets up Kerr/Kerr-Schild initial data, then
# finds the apparent horizon in it.  The local coordinate system origin
# and the initial guess are both deliberately de-centered with respect
# to the black hole, to make this a non-trivial test for the apparent
# horizon finder.

\section{Surfaces of Constant Expansion}

Surfaces of Constant Expansion (CE surfaces) are introduced in
\cite{AHFinderDirect/Schnetter03a} as a generalisation of
apparent horizons (AH).  On an AH surface, the expansion is zero
everywhere.  On a CE surfaces, the expansion is still everywhere the
same, but it need not be zero.  CE surfaces are also a generalisation
of Constant Mean Curvature surfaces (CMC surfaces); both are identical
when the extrinsic curvature vanishes.  As described in
\cite{AHFinderDirect/Schnetter03a}, it is likely that CE
surfaces foliate the spacelike hypersurface outside of some interior
region.  This interior region is inside the common apparent horizon,
if it exists.

CE surfaces can give some insight into the spacetime, because they can
be used to analyse the part of the spacelike hypersurface ``between
the horizons and infinity''.  Most notably, they can be used to look
at the region where a common horizon is about to (or believed to)
form.  Similarly, one can use them for collapsing stars where an
apparent horizon has not yet formed.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{Pretracking}

Apparent horizon pretracking is introduced in
\cite{AHFinderDirect/Schnetter03a}.  This is an application
of CE surfaces.  Even when there is no common horizon, there are still
common CE surfaces surrounding multiple black holes.  Pretracking
consists of tracking in time the smallest common CE surface that can
be found.  It is reasonable to believe that this surface will evolve
into the common horizon at the time where this common horizon begins
to exist.  The expansion of this smallest CE surface is also an
indication of how close the spacelike hypersurface is to having a
common apparent horizon.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\section{How \thorn{AHFinderDirect} Works}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-how-ahfinderdirect-works}

\thorn{AHFinderDirect} uses the apparent horizon
(henceforth \defn{horizon}) finding algorithm of
\cite{AHFinderDirect/Thornburg95},
modified slightly to work with $g_\ij$ and $K_\ij$ on a Cartesian ($xyz$)
grid.  The algorithm is described in detail in
\cite{AHFinderDirect/Thornburg2003:AH-finding}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{General Description of the Algorithm}

As described above, I parameterizes the horizon shape by
$r = h(\text{angle})$ for some single-value function $h: S^2 \to \Re^+$.
The apparent horizon equation~\eqref{AHFinderDirect/eqn-horizon}
then becomes a 2-D elliptic PDE on $S^2$ for the function $h$.  I finite
difference this in angle to obtain a system of simultaneous nonlinear
algebraic equations for $h$ at the angular grid points, and solve this
system of equations by a global Newton's method (or a variant with
improved convergence).

Computationally, this algorithm has 3 main parts:
\begin{itemize}
\item	Computation of the ``horizon function'' $\Theta(h)$ given a trial
	surface defined by a trial horizon shape function $h$.  This is
	done by interpolating the Cactus geometry fields $g_\ij$ and
	$K_\ij$ (and optionally $\psi$) from the 3-D $xyz$ grid to the
	(2-D set of) trial-horizon-surface grid points (also computing
	$\partial_k g_\ij$ in the interpolation process), then doing
	all further computations with angular grid functions defined
	solely on $S^2$ (\ie{} at the horizon-surface grid points).
\item	Computation of the Jacobian matrix $\Jac[\Theta(h)]$ of $\Theta(h)$.
	This thorn incorporates the \defn{symbolic differentiation} technique
	described in \cite{AHFinderDirect/Thornburg95},
	so this computation is quite fast.  The Jacobian is a highly
	sparse matrix; \thorn{AHFinderDirect} has code to store it
	as either a dense matrix (for debugging purposes), or a sparse
	matrix (the default).  Which option is used is determined by
	a compile-time configuration in \verb|src/include/config.h|.
\item	Solving the nonlinear equations $\Theta(h) = 0$ by a global
	Newton's method or a variant.  How this is done depends on how
	the Jacobian is stored.  At present,
	\begin{itemize}
	\item	If \thorn{AHFinderDirect} is configured to store the
		Jacobian as a dense matrix, then LAPACK is used to solve
		the linear equations.
	\item	If \thorn{AHFinderDirect} is configured to store the
		Jacobian as a sparse matrix, then an
		incomplete-$\sf LU$-decomposition--conjugate-gradient
		solver is used.
	\end{itemize}
	By default only the sparse-matrix code is configured, so LAPACK
	isn't used and there's no need to link with the LAPACK library.
\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\subsection{The Multipatch System}
\label{AHFinderDirect/sect-multipatch-system}

Perhaps the most unusual feature of \thorn{AHFinderDirect} is the
``multipatch'' system used to cover $S^2$ without coordinate singularities.
In general there are 6~patches, one each covering a neighborhood of
the $\pm z$, $\pm x$, and $\pm y$ axes, but this may be reduced in
the presence of suitable symmetries.  For example,
figure~\ref{AHFinderDirect/fig-3patch}
on page~\pageref{AHFinderDirect/fig-3patch} shows a system
of 3~patches covering the $+xyz$~octant of $S^2$.  This would be
suitable for finding an apparent horizon with mirror symmetry about
the (local) $z=0$~plane, and either 90~degree periodic rotation symmetry
about the (local) $z$~axis, or mirror symmetry about each of the (local)
$x$~and $y$~axes.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{AEIThorns_AHFinderDirect_3patch}
\end{center}
\caption[Illustration of the Multipatch System]
	{
	This figure shows a multipatch system covering the
	$(+,+,+)$~octant of the unit sphere~$S^2$ with 3~patches.
	The angular resolution is 5~degrees.  Notice that the
	patches overlap by several ``ghost zone'' grid points.
	}
\label{AHFinderDirect/fig-3patch}
\end{figure}

To allow easy angular finite differencing within the patch system,
each patch is extended beyond its nominal extent by a ``ghost zone''%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Note that this terminology differs somewhat
	 from that used by Cactus in general; Cactus
	 would call these ``patch zones'' or ``symmetry
	 zones''.
	 }%%%
{} (2~grid points wide in figure~\ref{AHFinderDirect/fig-3patch}).
Angular grid function values in the ghost zone can be obtained by
interpatch interpolation%%%
\footnote{%%%
	 Due to the way the patch coordinates are defined,
	 adjacent patches always share a common ``perpendicular''
	 angular coordinate, so only 1-D interpolation
	 is needed here.
	 }%%%
{} or by applying symmetry operations.  Once this is done, then angular
finite differencing within the nominal extent of each patch can proceed
normally, ignoring the patch boundaries.  \thorn{AHFinderDirect} can
be configured at compile time to use either 2nd~order or 4th~order
angular finite differencing (3~point or 5~point angular molecules);
the default is 4th~order (5~point).  This is configured at compile time
in \verb|src/include/config.h|.

By default \thorn{AHFinderDirect} will automagically choose a patch
system type for each apparent horizon searched for, based on the local
coordinate origin and the symmetries implicit in the Cactus grid type.
This generally works well, but if desired you can instead manually
specify the patch system type, the angular resolution, the width of
the ghost zones, etc.  See the \verb|param.ccl| file for details.

\section{Other Related Thorns}

If you're interested in \thorn{AHFinderDirect}, you might also be
interested in some other related thorns:

\begin{description}
\item[\thorn{EHFinder}] (in the \arrangement{AEIDevelopment} arrangement)
	was written by Peter Diener, and finds the {\em event\/} horizon(s)
	in a numerically computed spacetime.  It's described in detail in
	the paper~\cite{AHFinderDirect/Diener03a}.
\item[\thorn{AHFinder}] (in the \arrangement{CactusEinstein} arrangement)
	was written by Miguel Alcubierre, and includes two different
	algorithms for finding apparent horizons, a minimization method
	and a ``fast flow'' method based on \cite{AHFinderDirect/Gundlach97a}.
	Unfortunately, both methods are very slow in practice.
\item[\thorn{TGRapparentHorizon2D}] (in the \arrangement{TAT} arrangement)
	was written by Erik Schnetter, and is another apparent horizon
	finder.  It uses methods very similar to this thorn, and (like
	this thorn) is very fast and accurate.  However, it's no longer
	under active development.  It's described in detail in the
	papers~\cite{AHFinderDirect/Schnetter02a}
	and~\cite{AHFinderDirect/Schnetter03a}.
\item[\thorn{AHFinderDirect} (\cvsplace{Erik} branch)]
      (in the \arrangement{AEIThorns} arrangement)\\
	Erik Schnetter has added a number of new features to
	\thorn{AHFinderDirect} on a CVS branch with the tag \cvsplace{Erik},
	including horizon pretracking (to locate places where horizons
	are about to form), and the ability to find constant-expansion
	and constant-mean-curvature surfaces specified by their areal radius.
	We hope to integrate these into the main \thorn{AHFinderDirect}
	branch during the summer of 2004.

\section{Acknowledgments}

I thank Peter Diener, Ian Hawke, and Erik Schnetter for many valuable
conversations.  I think Thomas Radke for his work on the new interpolators.
I thank the whole Cactus crew for a great infrastructure!

Erik Schnetter originally implemented a number of improvements to
this thorn, notably the \thorn{SphericalSurface} interface and the
new features in the \cvsplace{Erik} branch.

I thank the Alexander von Humboldt foundation and the AEI visitors'
and postdoctoral fellowships programs for financial support.

//******************************************************************************

//
// ***** coordinate systems *****
//

//
// We use the following terminology for coordinates:
//	{a,b,c} == any one of (a,b,c) == a | b | c
//	((a,b,c)) == any two of (a,b,c) == (a,b) | (a,c) | (b,c)
//	(r,(a,b,c)) == r and any two of (a,b,c) == (r,a,b) | (r,a,c) | (r,b,c)
//

//
// We use the following coordinates and coordinate systems:
//	global_(x,y,z)	global Cartesian x,y,z coordinates
//			(these are the coordinates Cactus gives us)
//	(x,y,z)		local Cartesian x,y,z coordinates relative to a
//			local origin point (stored in this object);
//			This origin should be chosen to be somewhere
//			at least vaguely in the "middle" of our
//			apparent horizon
//	(r,theta,phi)	polar spherical coordinates about the local
//			origin point
//	(r,(mu,nu,phi))	patch coordinates about the local origin point
//		mu	arctan(y/z) = rotation about local x axis
//		nu	arctan(x/z) = rotation about local y axis
//		phi	arctan(y/x) = rotation about local z axis
//				    = usual polar spherical phi
//	(rho,sigma)	generic patch angular coordinates, these will
//			be whichever two of (mu,nu,phi) are nonsingular
//			throughout the patch
//	tau		the third member of (mu,nu,phi) (the one which
//			is neither rho nor sigma)
//	(perp,par)	(rho,sigma) coordinates (perpendicular,parallel)
//			to a patch boundary; these are defined by class
//			patch_edge and used by a lot of the boundary code
//

//
// We also use direction cosines (xcos,ycos,zcos):
// xcos = x/r = cos(angle between vector from origin to (x,y,z), and x axis)
// ycos = y/r = cos(angle between vector from origin to (x,y,z), and y axis)
// zcos = z/r = cos(angle between vector from origin to (x,y,z), and z axis)
//

//
// We also use prefixes on coordinates, eg.
//	irho		integer grid coordinate
//	 rho		floating point angular coordinate, measured in radians
//	drho		floating point angular coordinate, measured in degrees
// I/O uses the degree coordinates in preference to radian ones.
//

//
// We also define plotting coordinates (px,py) (in both fp and degrees-fp
// variants), based on the conventional "looking down the z axis" picture
// of a patch system.  Unfortunately there's no good place to stick a -z
// patch in this scheme, so we arbitrarily put it just beyond the +x patch:
//
//	           py axis
//	              |
//	          +-------+
//	          |       |
//	          |  +y   |
//	          |       |
//	  +-------+-------+-------+-------+
//	  |       |       |       |       |
//	--|  -x   |  +z   |  +x   |  -z   |-- px axis
//	  |       |       |       |       |
//	  +-------+-------+-------+-------+
//	          |       |
//	          |  -y   |
//	          |       |
//	          +-------+
//	              |
//
// The main (in fact only) use of these coordinates is in their degrees
// forms (dpx,dpy), for I/O and constructor arguments.
