# TaoSetJacobianDesignRoutine

Sets the function to compute the Jacobian of the constraint function with respect to the design variables. Used only for pde-constrained optimization.

### Synopsis

    #include "petsctao.h"
    PetscErrorCode TaoSetJacobianDesignRoutine(Tao tao, Mat J, PetscErrorCode (*func)(Tao, Vec, Mat, void*), void *ctx)

Logically collective on Tao

### Input Parameters

| tao | - the Tao context
| J | - Matrix used for the jacobian
| jac | - Jacobian evaluation routine
| ctx | - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the Jacobian evaluation routine (may be NULL)

### Calling sequence of jac

       jac (Tao tao,Vec x,Mat *J,void *ctx);

| tao | - the Tao context
| x | - input vector
| J | - Jacobian matrix
| ctx | - [optional] user-defined Jacobian context

### Notes

The function jac() takes Mat * as the matrix arguments rather than Mat. This allows the Jacobian evaluation routine to replace A and/or B with a completely new new matrix structure (not just different matrix elements) when appropriate, for instance, if the nonzero structure is changing throughout the global iterations.
