<div dir="ltr">I am following up from the last inquiry. I read the source code <a href="https://petsc.org/release/src/snes/impls/nasm/nasm.c.html">nasm.c</a> and it looks like sub-snes iteration is being initialized with a scatter call from the previous solution. In other words, if I use Newton's method for the local solver, then in each NASM iteration the Newton's method uses the previous local solution as the initial guess. Can anyone confirm this? </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Apr 2, 2023 at 6:14 PM Takahashi, Tadanaga <<a href="mailto:tt73@njit.edu">tt73@njit.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello PETSc devs, <div><br></div><div>I am using SNES NASM with Newton LS on the sub-SNES.
