/*  --------------------------------------------------------------------

     This file implements a truncated Newton method with a line search,
     for solving a system of nonlinear equations, using the SLES, Vec,
     and Mat interfaces for linear solvers, vectors, and matrices,
     respectively.

     The following basic routines are required for each nonlinear solver:
          SNESCreate_XXX()          - Creates a nonlinear solver context
          SNESSetFromOptions_XXX()  - Sets runtime options
          SNESSolve_XXX()           - Solves the nonlinear system
          SNESDestroy_XXX()         - Destroys the nonlinear solver context
     The suffix "_XXX" denotes a particular implementation, in this case
     we use _EQ_LS (e.g., SNESCreate_EQ_LS, SNESSolve_EQ_LS) for solving
     systems of nonlinear equations (EQ) with a line search (LS) method.
     These routines are actually called via the common user interface
     routines SNESCreate(), SNESSetFromOptions(), SNESSolve(), and
     SNESDestroy(), so the application code interface remains identical
     for all nonlinear solvers.

     Another key routine is:
          SNESSetUp_XXX()           - Prepares for the use of a nonlinear solver
     by setting data structures and options.   The interface routine SNESSetUp()
     is not usually called directly by the user, but instead is called by
     SNESSolve() if necessary.

     Additional basic routines are:
          SNESView_XXX()            - Prints details of runtime options that
                                      have actually been used.
     These are called by application codes via the interface routines
     SNESView().

     The various types of solvers (preconditioners, Krylov subspace methods,
     nonlinear solvers, timesteppers) are all organized similarly, so the
     above description applies to these categories also.

   Notes:
   SNESNoLineSearch() and SNESNoLineSearchNoNorms() accept the new
   iterate computed by the line search checking routine.  In particular,
   these routines (1) compute a candidate iterate u_{i+1}, (2) pass control
   to the checking routine, and then (3) compute the corresponding nonlinear
   function f(u_{i+1}) with the (possibly altered) iterate u_{i+1}.

   SNESQuadraticLineSearch() and SNESCubicLineSearch() also accept the
   new iterate computed by the line search checking routine.  In particular,
   these routines (1) compute a candidate iterate u_{i+1} as well as a
   candidate nonlinear function f(u_{i+1}), (2) pass control to the checking
   routine, and then (3) force a re-evaluation of f(u_{i+1}) if any changes
   were made to the candidate iterate in the checking routine (as indicated
   by flag=PETSC_TRUE).  The overhead of this function re-evaluation can be
   very costly, so use this feature with caution!
