Hi All,<br>I am solving a nonlinear system using snes. The -snes_monitor option has the following output:<br><br> 0 SNES Function norm 2.640163923729e+09 <br> 1 SNES Function norm 1.047643565314e+08 <br> 2 SNES Function norm 1.712732074788e+06 <br>

18 SNES Function norm 1.344936158651e-05 <br> 19 SNES Function norm 1.054812641176e-05 <br>Number of Newton iterations = 19<br>Converged reason is 4<br><br>It looks like the iterate never falls into a quadratic convergence region before it converges. Is there any hint to understand this behavior?<br>
<br>Thanks a lot,<br><br>Yan<br><br><br>
