PetscErrorCode TaoSetFromOptions(Tao tao)
Collective on Tao

Input Paremeter

tao -the Tao solver context

options Database Keys

-tao_type <type> - The algorithm that TAO uses (lmvm, nls, etc.)
-tao_fatol <fatol> - absolute error tolerance in function value
-tao_frtol <frtol> - relative error tolerance in function value
-tao_gatol <gatol> - absolute error tolerance for ||gradient||
-tao_grtol <grtol> - relative error tolerance for ||gradient||
-tao_gttol <gttol> - reduction of ||gradient|| relative to initial gradient
-tao_max_it <max> - sets maximum number of iterations
-tao_max_funcs <max> - sets maximum number of function evaluations
-tao_fmin <fmin> - stop if function value reaches fmin
-tao_steptol <tol> - stop if trust region radius less than <tol>
-tao_trust0 <t> - initial trust region radius
-tao_monitor - prints function value and residual at each iteration
-tao_smonitor - same as tao_monitor, but truncates very small values
-tao_cmonitor - prints function value, residual, and constraint norm at each iteration
-tao_view_solution - prints solution vector at each iteration
-tao_view_separableobjective - prints separable objective vector at each iteration
-tao_view_step - prints step direction vector at each iteration
-tao_view_gradient - prints gradient vector at each iteration
-tao_draw_solution - graphically view solution vector at each iteration
-tao_draw_step - graphically view step vector at each iteration
-tao_draw_gradient - graphically view gradient at each iteration
-tao_fd_gradient - use gradient computed with finite differences
-tao_cancelmonitors - cancels all monitors (except those set with command line)
-tao_view - prints information about the Tao after solving
-tao_converged_reason - prints the reason TAO stopped iterating

Notes

To see all options, run your program with the -help option or consult the user's manual. Should be called after TaoCreate() but before TaoSolve()
