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,
<P>
The default code uses the following approach to compute h
<P>
<PRE>
     F'(u)*a = [F(u+h*a) - F(u)]/h where
     h = error_rel*u'a/||a||^2                        if  |u'a| &gt; 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
</PRE>

<P>
The user can set the error_rel via <A HREF="../SNESMF/MatSNESMFSetFunctionError.html#MatSNESMFSetFunctionError">MatSNESMFSetFunctionError</A>() and
umin via <A HREF="../SNESMF/MatSNESMFDefaultSetUmin.html#MatSNESMFDefaultSetUmin">MatSNESMFDefaultSetUmin</A>(); see the nonlinear solvers chapter
of the users manual for details.
<P>
The user should call <A HREF="../Mat/MatDestroy.html#MatDestroy">MatDestroy</A>() when finished with the matrix-free
matrix context.
