[petsc-users] snes test fails

Wed Apr 17 18:25:48 CDT 2013

Sorry, I do not know how the reply went to your id. I replied the usual way.

I am solving :  div(grad(V)) = 0  for x  in [0, L]  and V(0) = V1 and V(L)
= V1

I get a solution V(x) = V1 after solving with intial guess V(X) = 0 for x
in (0, L)

Now, what is the user defined ? is it V(X) = 0 ? or V(x) =  V1 ?

Is the user defined state is V(X) = V1 then it means the Jacobin is tested
after doing a solve first ?

But then, for a linear Poisson problem, The Jacobin should be independent
of V(X). I seem to get correct solution but snes_type test (fails ?) can
you give me some pointers on how to debug this ?

Thanks
