SNESVISetComputeVariableBounds

Sets a function that is called to compute the bounds on variable for (differential) variable inequalities.

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h" 
PetscErrorCode SNESVISetComputeVariableBounds(SNES snes, PetscErrorCode (*compute)(SNES snes, Vec lower, Vec higher))

Input Parameters

• snes - the SNES context

• compute - function that computes the bounds

Calling sequence of compute

• snes - the SNES context

• lower - vector to hold lower bounds

• higher - vector to hold upper bounds

Notes

Problems with bound constraints can be solved with the reduced space, SNESVINEWTONRSLS, and semi-smooth SNESVINEWTONSSLS solvers.

For entries with no bounds you can set PETSC_NINFINITY or PETSC_INFINITY

You may use SNESVISetVariableBounds() to provide the bounds once if they will never change

If you have associated a DM with the SNES and provided a function to the DM via DMSetVariableBounds() that will be used automatically to provide the bounds and you need not use this function.
