[petsc-users] SNES seems not use my matrix-free operation

By default if SNESSetJacobian() is not called with a function pointer PETSc attempts to compute the Jacobian matrix explicitly with finite differences and coloring. This doesn't makes sense with a shell matrix. Hence the error message below regarding MatFDColoringCreate().
DMSNESSetJacobianLocal() calls SNESSetJacobian() with a function pointer of SNESComputeJacobian_DMLocal() so preventing the error from triggering in your code.
You can provide your own function to SNESSetJacobian() and thus not need to call DMSNESSetJacobianLocal(). What you do depends on how you want to record the "base" vector that tells your matrix-free multiply routine where the Jacobian matrix vector product is being applied, that is J(u)*x. u is the "base" vector which is passed to the function provided with SNESSetJacobian().

I wonder do I need to use the local Vec (of dF), and should my output Vec also be in the correct shape (i.e. after calculation I need to transform back into a Vec)? As you can see here, my dF is a tensor defined on every grid point.

Similarly it needs to "unwrap" the result vector as an array. See src/snes/tutorials/ex14f.F90 and in particular the code block

Here "form" means computing the numerical values in the matrix (or when using a shell matrix it means keeping a copy of X so that your custom matrix-free multiply knows the base location where the matrix free Jacobian-vector products are computed.)

> Then the main issue is that I can build my own Jacobian from my call back function formJacobian, and confirm my Jacobian is a shell matrix (by MatView). However, my customized operator GK_op is not called when solving the nonlinear system (not print my “in GK op”). When I try to monitor my SNES, it gives me some conventional output not mentioning my matrix-free operations. So I guess my customized MATOP_MULT may be not associated with Jacobian. Or my configuration is somehow wrong. Could you help me solve this issue?
