# TaoComputeHessian

Computes the Hessian matrix that has been set with TaoSetHessianRoutine().

### Synopsis

    #include "petsctao.h"
    PetscErrorCode TaoComputeHessian(Tao tao, Vec X, Mat H, Mat Hpre)

Collective on Tao

### Input Parameters

| solver | - the Tao solver context
| xx | - input vector

### Output Parameters

| H | - Hessian matrix
| Hpre | - Preconditioning matrix

### Notes

Most users should not need to explicitly call this routine, as it is used internally within the minimization solvers.

TaoComputeHessian() is typically used within minimization implementations, so most users would not generally call this routine themselves.
