[petsc-users] Test convergence with non linear preconditioners

[Barry Smith]

   Adolfo,

     You can also just change the tolerances for the inner solve using the options data base and the prefix for the inner solve. 

     When you run with -snes_view it will show the prefix for each of the (nested) solvers. You can also run with -help to get all the possible options for the inner solvers.

     In this case I think the prefix is npc so you can set tolerances with -npc_snes_rtol <rtol> -npc_ksp_rtol <rtol> etc.  From the program you can use SNESGetNPC() and then call SNESSetXXX() to set options, for the linear solver (if there is one) call SNESGetKSP() on the npc and then set options on that KSP.
