Sets the linesearch steplength.

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h" 
PetscErrorCode  SNESLineSearchSetLambda(SNESLineSearch linesearch, PetscReal lambda)

Input Parameters

linesearch - linesearch context
lambda - The last steplength.

Notes

This routine is typically used within implementations of SNESLineSearchApply() to set the final steplength. This routine (and SNESLineSearchGetLambda()) were added in order to facilitate Quasi-Newton methods that use the previous steplength as an inner scaling parameter.
