An optimized treatment for algorithmic differentiation of an important glaciological fixed-point problem

We apply an optimized method to the adjoint generation of a time-evolving land ice model through algorithmic differentiation (AD). The optimization involves a special treatment of the fixed-point iteration required to solve the nonlinear stress balance, which differs from a straightforward applicati...
