According to my last question, I am trying to use Shell to handle the MatrixFree procedure as below:<br><br>1- Define residual as: <br> F := M * DQ/Dt - R(Q) (R is the nonlinear residual obtained from discretization)<br>
2- MatCreateShell<br>3- MatShellSetOperation -> MATOP_MULT as follows:<br> dF/dQ * v = M * v / Dt - ( R(Q+eps*v) - R(Q) ) / eps<br>4- Using this operation in each step of KSP (GMRES) subspace construction. <br><br>
Does the above procedure seem reasonable to use with SNES? Please help me if it needs more considerations.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You can just set the SNES function and do -snes_mf, then this will be done for you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You might also consider using TS. TSSetIFunction() is the interface you propose.</div></div>
