| A | - Jacobian matrix | |
| B | - optional preconditioning matrix |
| -snes_lag_preconditioner <lag> | - . -snes_lag_jacobian <lag> | |
| -snes_test_jacobian | - compare the user provided Jacobian with one compute via finite differences to check for errors | |
| -snes_test_jacobian_display | - display the user provided Jacobian, the finite difference Jacobian and the difference between them to help users detect the location of errors in the user provided Jacobian | |
| -snes_test_jacobian_display_threshold <numerical value> | - display entries in the difference between the user provided Jacobian and finite difference Jacobian that are greater than a certain value to help users detect errors | |
| -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 | |

| -snes_compare_coloring_display | - Compute the finite differece Jacobian using coloring and display verbose differences | |
| -snes_compare_coloring_threshold | - Display only those matrix entries that differ by more than a given threshold | |
| -snes_compare_coloring_threshold_atol | - Absolute tolerance for difference in matrix entries to be displayed by -snes_compare_coloring_threshold | |
| -snes_compare_coloring_threshold_rtol | - Relative tolerance for difference in matrix entries to be displayed by -snes_compare_coloring_threshold | |
| -snes_compare_coloring_draw | - Compute the finite differece Jacobian using coloring and draw differences | |
| -snes_compare_coloring_draw_contour | - Compute the finite differece Jacobian using coloring and show contours of matrices and differences |
Developer Notes: This has duplicative ways of checking the accuracy of the user provided Jacobian (see the options above). This is for historical reasons, the routine SNESTestJacobian() use to used for with the SNESType of test that has been removed.
