# SNESKSPGetUseEW

Gets if SNES is using Eisenstat-Walker method for computing relative tolerance for linear solvers within an inexact Newton method.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsnes.h"
    PetscErrorCode  SNESKSPGetUseEW(SNES snes, PetscBool  *flag)

Not Collective

### Input Parameter

| snes | - SNES context

### Output Parameter

| flag | - PETSC_TRUE or PETSC_FALSE

### Notes

Currently, the default is to use a constant relative tolerance for the inner linear solvers. Alternatively, one can use the Eisenstat-Walker method, where the relative convergence tolerance is reset at each Newton iteration according progress of the nonlinear solver.
