PETSc has this “extra” requirement that you provide values for the entire diagonal of the matrix, even those locations with zero. So make sure that you use MatSetValues() to put a zero on each diagonal entry that has zero.
Also from below you are using ICC that is incomplete cholesky factorization. If you want to use a direct solver you should select -pc_type cholesky Barry On Oct 7, 2014, at 8:14 AM, Florian Lindner <mailingli...@xgm.de> wrote: > Hello, > > when I try to KSPSolve my matrix petsc prints out that a diagonal entry is > missing: > > KSPSetOperators(solver, _matCLU.matrix, _matCLU.matrix ); > KSPSolve(solver, vin.vector, vp.vector); > > And petsc is perfectly right about that specific entry being zero.
