SNESNormSchedule

Frequency with which the norm is computed during a nonliner solve

Synopsis

typedef enum {
  SNES_NORM_DEFAULT            = -1,
  SNES_NORM_NONE               = 0,
  SNES_NORM_ALWAYS             = 1,
  SNES_NORM_INITIAL_ONLY       = 2,
  SNES_NORM_FINAL_ONLY         = 3,
  SNES_NORM_INITIAL_FINAL_ONLY = 4
} SNESNormSchedule;

Values

• SNES_NORM_DEFAULT - use the default behavior for the current SNESType

• SNES_NORM_NONE - avoid all norm computations

• SNES_NORM_ALWAYS - compute the norms whenever possible

• SNES_NORM_INITIAL_ONLY - compute the norm only when the algorithm starts

• SNES_NORM_FINAL_ONLY - compute the norm only when the algorithm finishes

• SNES_NORM_INITIAL_FINAL_ONLY - compute the norm at the start and end of the algorithm

Notes

Support for these is highly dependent on the solver.

Some options limit the convergence tests that can be used.

The SNES_NORM_NONE option is most commonly used when the nonlinear solver is being used as a smoother, for example for SNESFAS

This is primarily used to turn off extra norm and function computation when the solvers are composed.
