<br>
j is looping over the global rows of the vector. The -start is to convert to the local row inside the array y[] since y only contains the local part of the vector.<br>
<br>
Note that y+j-start is equivalent to &y[j-start] so this is inserting into the jth global row the jth global row value in the vector which is the j-start local entry in the vector.<br>

There is a function called SNESComputeJacobianDefault, where a line of code at 120th line, MatSetValues(B,1,&j,1,&i,y+j-start,INSERT_VALUES), is difficult to understand for me. Because I think inserting 'y' is enough, but there is two extra values 'j-start'. Any explanation is welcome.<br>
