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

Input Parameters

snes - the SNES context
r - vector to store function value
func - function evaluation routine
ctx - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the function evaluation routine (may be PETSC_NULL)

Calling sequence of func

   func (SNES snes,Vec x,Vec f,void *ctx);

snes - the SNES context
x - state at which to evaluate residual
f - vector to put residual
ctx - optional user-defined function context

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.

Keywords

SNES, nonlinear, set, function
