.. cpp:class:: NonlinearVariationalSolver

    *Parent class(es)*
    
        * :cpp:class:`Variable`
        
    This class implements a solver for nonlinear variational
    problems.


    .. cpp:function:: explicit NonlinearVariationalSolver(std::shared_ptr<NonlinearVariationalProblem> problem)
    
        Create nonlinear variational solver for given problem


    .. cpp:function:: std::pair<std::size_t, bool> solve()
    
        Solve variational problem
        
        *Returns*
            std::pair<std::size_t, bool>
                Pair of number of Newton iterations, and whether
                iteration converged)
