MATMFFD_WP#
Implements an approach for computing the differencing parameter h used with the finite difference based matrix-free Jacobian. From Walker-Pernice [PW98] $\( h = error_rel * sqrt(1 + ||u||) / ||a|| \)$
Options Database Key#
-mat_mffd_compute_normu - Compute the norm of u every time see
MatMFFDWPSetComputeNormU()
Notes#
\( || U || \) does not change between linear iterations so is reused
In KSPGMRES \( || a || == 1 \) and so does not need to ever be computed except at restart
when it is recomputed. Thus requires no global collectives when used with KSPGMRES
