Hey, Matthew,<br><br>What do you mean by "varying the h parameter"? Using another approach to compute it (such as the DS)? Changing its "calculation period"?<br><br>Anyhow, I didn't try those things yet. In fact, that's what I plan on doing next this weekend, and also maybe implementing new ways of calculating the h parameter (who knows, that could be a contribution of mine to PETSc's code base :D). After some googling, I found this <a href="http://www.cs.odu.edu/%7Ekeyes/papers/jfnk.pdf">article</a> that demonstrates at least two other ways to compute the differencing parameter. Thank you guys for your replies!<br>
