SNESSetLagPreconditioner

Determines when the preconditioner is rebuilt in the nonlinear solve.

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode  SNESSetLagPreconditioner(SNES snes,PetscInt lag)

Logically Collective on SNES

Input Parameters

	snes	- the SNES context
	lag	- -1 indicates NEVER rebuild, 1 means rebuild every time the Jacobian is computed within a single nonlinear solve, 2 means every second time the Jacobian is built etc. -2 indicates rebuild preconditioner at next chance but then never rebuild after that

Options Database Keys

-snes_lag_preconditioner <lag> - Notes: The default is 1 The preconditioner is ALWAYS built in the first iteration of a nonlinear solve unless lag is -1 If -1 is used before the very first nonlinear solve the preconditioner is still built because there is no previous preconditioner to use
