Hi Matt and Jed,

Thank you very much for your replies. In source code ex19, the routine
SNESSetNGS() is used, and no other options or Jacobi routines are used. How
can we change the iteration method? The routine SNESSetFromOptions(snes)
could do this for the user? If I understand correctly, petsc would use
Gauss-Seidel or Jacobi method as designated with even the same source code?

Thank you in advance!
