Dear all,
I'm trying to use PCFIELDSPLIT as a preconditioner on a block matrix A,
[A_{00} A_{01}]
[A_{10} A_{11}]
where the diagonal blocks (A_{00} and A_{11}) are diagonally dominant. I would
like to use either one of the block preconditioners (not even based on the
Schur complement, simply either one of the Jacobi/Gauss-Seidel ones).
The issue I'm running into concerns the formats I would like to use, so I'll
start with that:
1. A_{00} and A_{11} are both in MATMPIAIJ format (created using
DMCreateMatrix on 2D DMDAs of different sizes),
2. A_{10} and A_{01} are both in MATSHELL format (created using
DMCreateShell). The reason why I used this format is that it seemed convenient,
since the 2D DMDAs are of different sizes and I assumed I had to provide the
MATOP_MULT operation only,
3. Finally the blocks are stored in MATNEST format (MatCreateNest).
With this choice, matrix-vector multiplications work fine (the DMDAs being
packed in a DMComposite), which makes me think that so far the code is ok.
Also, when I attempt to invert the matrix without preconditioner, I get the
correct result.
Now here is where things do not work: if I try to use a preconditioner, I get
the error pasted below (for a simple PCJACOBI)

I may not be calling the appropriate routines, here is what I'm basically doing:
1. KSP type set to KSPCG (A is symmetric), PC type to PCFIELDSPLIT,
2. I then use MatNestGetISs on A to supply the ISs to PCFieldSplitSetIS,
3. Finally I use PCFieldSplitGetSubKSP to use set the subKSP for each
diagonal block.
As I mentioned, as long as the subKSPs don't have any preconditioning (PCNONE),
KSPSolve does not complain, only when I try to using one (even PCJACOBI) do I
get similar errors). That makes me suspect that I'm doing something wrong, but
I could not find an example that was doing the same thing...
Any pointers would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Vincent
