   MatCreateMFFD - Creates a matrix-free matrix. See also MatCreateSNESMF()

   Collective on Vec

   Input Parameters:
+  comm - MPI communicator
.  m - number of local rows (or PETSC_DECIDE to have calculated if M is given)
           This value should be the same as the local size used in creating the
           y vector for the matrix-vector product y = Ax.
.  n - This value should be the same as the local size used in creating the
       x vector for the matrix-vector product y = Ax. (or PETSC_DECIDE to have
       calculated if N is given) For square matrices n is almost always m.
.  M - number of global rows (or PETSC_DETERMINE to have calculated if m is given)
-  N - number of global columns (or PETSC_DETERMINE to have calculated if n is given)


   Output Parameter:
.  J - the matrix-free matrix

   Level: advanced

   Notes:
   The matrix-free matrix context merely contains the function pointers
   and work space for performing finite difference approximations of
   Jacobian-vector products, F'(u)*a,

   The default code uses the following approach to compute h

.vb
     F'(u)*a = [F(u+h*a) - F(u)]/h where
     h = error_rel*u'a/||a||^2                        if  |u'a| > umin*||a||_{1}
       = error_rel*umin*sign(u'a)*||a||_{1}/||a||^2   otherwise
 where
     error_rel = square root of relative error in function evaluation
     umin = minimum iterate parameter
.ve

   The user can set the error_rel via MatMFFDSetFunctionError() and
   umin via MatMFFDDSSetUmin(); see the <A href="../../docs/manual.pdf#nameddest=ch_snes">SNES chapter of the users manual</A> for details.

   The user should call MatDestroy() when finished with the matrix-free
   matrix context.

   Options Database Keys:
