<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">When I set the initial condition passed to SNESComputeJacobian as some constant, say f(x)=1 or 0, the petsc finite difference jacobian agrees with my hand coded-version. But when I pass it some non-constant
value, e.g. f(x)=sin(x), something goes horribly wrong in the petsc jacobian. Implementing my own rudimentary finite difference approximation (similar to how I thought petsc computes it) it returns the correct jacobian to expected error. Any idea what could
be going on?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
