Hi deal.ii community, I am having scalability issues with solvers for H(curl)-H(div) problems and H(grad)-H(curl) problems in 3D with essential boundary conditions (in a constraint matrix). Even for moderately sized problems (200K dofs) the (SparseILU preconditioned Schur-complement CG) solver needs too many iterations - depending on the coefficients between 500 and 10000. Multigrid in these spaces is (as far as I know problematic).
So I was wondering if there is a PetSc interface to MUMPS (parallel sparse direct solver) or if anyone has an idea for more efficient solvers for such problems. I am not an expert in linear solvers but their efficiency is (as so often) crucial here. I would be grateful for any idea...
