SNESComputeJacobian

Computes the Jacobian matrix that has been set with SNESSetJacobian().

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode  SNESComputeJacobian(SNES snes,Vec X,Mat A,Mat B)
Collective on SNES and Mat

Input Parameters

snes - the SNES context
x - input vector

Output Parameters

A - Jacobian matrix
B - optional preconditioning matrix

Options Database Keys

-snes_lag_preconditioner <lag>- . -snes_lag_jacobian <lag>
-snes_compare_explicit - Compare the computed Jacobian to the finite difference Jacobian and output the differences
-snes_compare_explicit_draw - Compare the computed Jacobian to the finite difference Jacobian and draw the result
-snes_compare_explicit_contour - Compare the computed Jacobian to the finite difference Jacobian and draw a contour plot with the result

Notes

Most users should not need to explicitly call this routine, as it is used internally within the nonlinear solvers.
