SNESSetFunction

Sets the function evaluation routine and function vector for use by the SNES routines in solving systems of nonlinear equations.

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode  SNESSetFunction(SNES snes,Vec r,PetscErrorCode (*f)(SNES,Vec,Vec,void*),void *ctx)
Logically Collective on SNES

Input Parameters

snes - the SNES context
r - vector to store function value
f - function evaluation routine; see SNESFunction for calling sequence details
ctx - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the function evaluation routine (may be NULL)

Notes

The Newton-like methods typically solve linear systems of the form
     f'(x) x = -f(x),
where f'(x) denotes the Jacobian matrix and f(x) is the function.
