SNESSolve
Solves a nonlinear system F(x) = b. Call SNESSolve() after calling SNESCreate() and optional routines of the form SNESSetXXX().
Synopsis
#include "petscsnes.h"
PetscErrorCode SNESSolve(SNES snes,Vec b,Vec x)
Collective on SNES Many br
Input Parameters
| snes | - the SNES context Many br |
| b | - the constant part of the equation F(x) = b, or NULL to use zero. Many br |
| x | - the solution vector. Many br |
Notes
The user should initialize the vector,x, with the initial guess Many brfor the nonlinear solve prior to calling SNESSolve. In particular, Many brto employ an initial guess of zero, the user should explicitly set Many brthis vector to zero by calling VecSet(). Many br
