| -snes_type <type> | - newtonls, newtontr, ngmres, ncg, nrichardson, qn, vi, fas, SNESType for complete list
|
| -snes_stol | - convergence tolerance in terms of the norm
of the change in the solution between steps
|
| -snes_atol <abstol> | - absolute tolerance of residual norm
|
| -snes_rtol <rtol> | - relative decrease in tolerance norm from initial
|
| -snes_divergence_tolerance <divtol> | - if the residual goes above divtol*rnorm0, exit with divergence
|
| -snes_force_iteration <force> | - force SNESSolve() to take at least one iteration
|
| -snes_max_it <max_it> | - maximum number of iterations
|
| -snes_max_funcs <max_funcs> | - maximum number of function evaluations
|
| -snes_max_fail <max_fail> | - maximum number of line search failures allowed before stopping, default is none
|
| -snes_max_linear_solve_fail | - number of linear solver failures before SNESSolve() stops
|
| -snes_lag_preconditioner <lag> | - how often preconditioner is rebuilt (use -1 to never rebuild)
|
| -snes_lag_preconditioner_persists <true,false> | - retains the -snes_lag_preconditioner information across multiple SNESSolve()
|
| -snes_lag_jacobian <lag> | - how often Jacobian is rebuilt (use -1 to never rebuild)
|
| -snes_lag_jacobian_persists <true,false> | - retains the -snes_lag_jacobian information across multiple SNESSolve()
|
| -snes_trtol <trtol> | - trust region tolerance
|
| -snes_no_convergence_test | - skip convergence test in nonlinear
solver; hence iterations will continue until max_it
or some other criterion is reached. Saves expense
of convergence test
|
| -snes_monitor [ascii][:filename][:viewer format] | - prints residual norm at each iteration. if no filename given prints to stdout
|
| -snes_monitor_solution [ascii binary draw][:filename][:viewer format] | - plots solution at each iteration
|
| -snes_monitor_residual [ascii binary draw][:filename][:viewer format] | - plots residual (not its norm) at each iteration
|
| -snes_monitor_solution_update [ascii binary draw][:filename][:viewer format] | - plots update to solution at each iteration
|
| -snes_monitor_lg_residualnorm | - plots residual norm at each iteration
|
| -snes_monitor_lg_range | - plots residual norm at each iteration
|
| -snes_fd | - use finite differences to compute Jacobian; very slow, only for testing
|
| -snes_fd_color | - use finite differences with coloring to compute Jacobian
|
| -snes_mf_ksp_monitor | - if using matrix-free multiply then print h at each KSP iteration
|
| -snes_converged_reason | - print the reason for convergence/divergence after each solve
|
| -npc_snes_type <type> | - the SNES type to use as a nonlinear preconditioner
|
| -snes_test_jacobian <optional threshold> | - compare the user provided Jacobian with one computed via finite differences to check for errors. If a threshold is given, display only those entries whose difference is greater than the threshold.
|
| -snes_test_jacobian_view | - 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.
