[petsc-users] Test Jacobian

[Que Cat]

Hello Petsc-users,

I tested the hand-coded Jacobian, and received the follow error:

Testing hand-coded Jacobian, if the ratio is
O(1.e-8), the hand-coded Jacobian is probably correct.
Run with -snes_test_display to show difference
of hand-coded and finite difference Jacobian.
Norm of matrix ratio 7.23832e-10 difference 1.39168e-07 (user-defined state)
Norm of matrix ratio 1.15746e-08 difference 2.2254e-06 (constant state -1.0)
Norm of matrix ratio 7.23832e-10 difference 1.39168e-07 (constant state 1.0)

What does "Object is in wrong state!" mean? What are the possible sources
of this error? Thank you for your time.
