\paragraph*{ROL, a Rapid Optimization Library.}
ROL \cite{ridzal2014rapid} is a package for large-scale optimization.
- \marginpar{Can we add a sentence or two about the ROL interface here?}
+ \dealii can now use the state-of-the-art algorithms in ROL to solve
+ unconstrained and constrained optimization problems as well as optimization
+ problems under uncertainty.
+ \dealii provides an interface to ROL's (abstract) vector class using the
+ adapter software pattern.
+ Through such an interface any vector class in \dealii following certain
+ interface requirements can be used to define a ROL objective function.
+ It is strongly recommended that the user additionally implement the objective
+ function gradient and the action of the Hessian.
