# SNESSetJacobianDomainError
tells `SNES` that the function you provided to `SNESSetJacobian()` at the proposed step. For example there is a negative element transformation. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode SNESSetJacobianDomainError(SNES snes)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameter

- ***snes -*** the `SNES` context





## Notes
If this is called the `SNESSolve()` stops iterating and returns with a `SNESConvergedReason` of `SNES_DIVERGED_FUNCTION_DOMAIN`

You should always call `SNESGetConvergedReason()` after each `SNESSolve()` and verify if the iteration converged (positive result) or diverged (negative result).

You can direct `SNES` to avoid certain steps by using `SNESVISetVariableBounds()`, `SNESVISetComputeVariableBounds()` or
`SNESLineSearchSetPreCheck()`, `SNESLineSearchSetPostCheck()`
