Hi Jose,
Thanks for your reply. Then using finite difference in the shell matrix to compute the matrix-vector product is not a good idea here. I will try to find an alternative way. maybe assemble the matrix directly.
Thanks,
Feng

Your formula
(R(q+epsilon*v) - R(q-epsilon*v))/(2*epsilon).
is not linear, it cannot be expressed as a constant matrix times a vector, A*v.
If you want to solve a nonlinear eigenvector problem
A(x)*x=lambda*x
then have a look at ex34.c https://slepc.upv.es/documentation/current/src/eps/tutorials/ex34.c.html

I don't have an iterative procedure in the shell matrix. It simply computes the non-linear residuals twice with perturbed flow variables. I have attached my code. Any suggestions are welcome.

> Probably the explanation is the following. Your shell matrix runs an iterative procedure that computes the action of the matrix to a certain accuracy. This is equivalent to multiplying by the exact matrix plus a perturbation, A+E. But every time you apply the shell matrix, the perturbation E is slightly different, so the eigensolver does not really see a constant matrix, it changes at every iteration.

For this to work, the GMRES tolerance should be smaller than the tolerance of the eigensolver. Similarly, if your shell matrix runs an iterative procedure, you have to use a tolerance that is more stringent than the one used in the eigensolver.

Besides, for some background, I am computing a steady RANS flow with finite volume method and trying to do a global stability analysis by looking at the Jacobian matrix.

I have some uninitialized values in my part of code to compute the non-linear residuals. so, it produces a NAN when it tries to compute the matrix-vector product using finite difference. This might make the slepc/pestc do unexpected things.
