# TaoSetHessianRoutine

Sets the function to compute the Hessian as well as the location to store the matrix.

### Synopsis

    #include "petsctao.h"
    PetscErrorCode TaoSetHessianRoutine(Tao tao, Mat H, Mat Hpre, PetscErrorCode (*func)(Tao, Vec, Mat, Mat, void*), void *ctx)

Logically collective on Tao

### Input Parameters

| tao | - the Tao context
| H | - Matrix used for the hessian
| Hpre | - Matrix that will be used operated on by preconditioner, can be same as H
| hess | - Hessian evaluation routine
| ctx | - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the Hessian evaluation routine (may be NULL)

### Calling sequence of hess

       hess (Tao tao,Vec x,Mat H,Mat Hpre,void *ctx);

| tao | - the Tao context
| x | - input vector
| H | - Hessian matrix
| Hpre | - preconditioner matrix, usually the same as H
| ctx | - [optional] user-defined Hessian context
