What I’m finding is that where |Q| is small, the numerical phase errors tend to be larger. I suspect this is because it’s using the 2-norm for convergence in the SNES, so, where the solution is already, the phase errors are seen as small too. Is there a way to use something more like an infinity norm with SNES, to get more point wise control?<br class=""><br class="">-gideon<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div>
