- solving a linear system Reads a PETSc matrix and vector from a file and solves a linear system.
  This version first preloads and solves a small system, then loads
  another (larger) system and solves it as well. This example illustrates
  preloading of instructions with the smaller system so that more accurate
  performance monitoring can be done with the larger one (that actually
  is the system of interest). See the 'Performance Hints' chapter of the
  users manual for a discussion of preloading. Input parameters include
  -f0 <input_file> : first file to load (small system)
  -f1 <input_file> : second file to load (larger system)

- writing a user-defined nonlinear solver
  Solves a nonlinear system in parallel with a user-defined
  Newton method that uses KSP to solve the linearized Newton sytems. This solver
  is a very simplistic inexact Newton method. The intent of this code is to
  demonstrate the repeated solution of linear sytems with the same nonzero pattern.
  This is NOT the recommended approach for solving nonlinear problems with PETSc!
  We urge users to employ the SNES component for solving nonlinear problems whenever
  possible, as it offers many advantages over coding nonlinear solvers independently.
