PETSc version 3.15.5

SNESSetLagPreconditionerPersists

Set whether or not the preconditioner lagging persists through multiple nonlinear solves

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode  SNESSetLagPreconditionerPersists(SNES snes,PetscBool flg)

Logically Collective on SNES

Input Parameter

	snes	- the SNES context
	flg	- preconditioner lagging persists if true

Options Database Keys

	-snes_lag_jacobian_persists <true,false>	- sets the persistence
	-snes_lag_jacobian <	- 2,1,2,...> - sets the lag
	-snes_lag_preconditioner_persists <true,false>	- sets the persistence
	-snes_lag_preconditioner <	- 2,1,2,...> - sets the lag

Notes

This is useful both for nonlinear preconditioning, where it's appropriate to have the preconditioner be stale by several solves, and for implicit time-stepping, where preconditioner lagging in the inner nonlinear solve over several timesteps may present huge efficiency gains.
