SNESDefaultComputeJacobianWithColoring

Computes the Jacobian using finite differences and coloring to exploit matrix sparsity.

Synopsis

int SNESDefaultComputeJacobianWithColoring(SNES snes,Vec x1,Mat *J,Mat *B,
                                           MatStructure *flag,void *ctx)
Collective on SNES

Input Parameters

snes - nonlinear solver object
x1 - location at which to evaluate Jacobian
ctx - coloring context, where ctx must have type MatFDColoring, as created via MatFDColoringCreate()

Output Parameters

J - Jacobian matrix (not altered in this routine)
B - newly computed Jacobian matrix to use with preconditioner (generally the same as J)
flag - flag indicating whether the matrix sparsity structure has changed
