The Rice Vector Library (RVL) is a C++ package that provides mathematics-emulating abstract classes for expressing coordinate-free linear algebra and nonlinear optimization algorithms over Hilbert spaces. Design principles of RVL allow for the separation of access/manipulation of application dependent data structures from the underlying mathematical representation of optimization/linear algebra algorithms. We illustrate its use in solving in particular the Full Waveform Inversion seismic problem for joint source-medium parameter estimation.
