SNESSetObjective

Sets the objective function minimized by some of the SNES linesearch methods, used instead of the 2-norm of the residual in the line search

Synopsis

#include "petscsnes.h"   
PetscErrorCode SNESSetObjective(SNES snes, SNESObjectiveFn *obj, void *ctx)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters

• snes - the SNES context

• obj - objective evaluation routine; see SNESObjectiveFn for the calling sequence

• ctx - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the objective evaluation routine (may be NULL)

Note

Some of the SNESLineSearch methods attempt to minimize a given objective provided by this function to determine a step length.

If not provided then this defaults to the two-norm of the function evaluation (set with SNESSetFunction())

This is not used in the SNESLINESEARCHCP line search.
