# DMSNESCheckJacobian

Check the Jacobian of the exact solution against the residual using the Taylor Test

## Synopsis

    PetscErrorCode DMSNESCheckJacobian(SNES snes, DM dm, Vec u, PetscReal tol, PetscBool *isLinear, PetscReal *convRate)

## Input Parameters

- snes - the `SNES` object

- dm - the `DM`

- u - a `DM` vector
