Thanks for your input.
In the meantime, I replaced the matrix multiplication
res = A^_{-1}*B
by solving 'p' linear systems
A*res[p] = B[p],
where p is the number of columns of the matrix B." That's one way to go. FullMatrix::gauss_jordan() also computes the inverse of a matrix." As stated, what I tried is to use the operator= according to LAPACKFullMatrix<double> new_matrix = my_system_matrix . However, there is an error message "error: conversion from ‘dealii::SparseMatrix<double>’ to non-scalar type ‘dealii::LAPACKFullMatrix<double>’ requested LAPACKFullMatrix<double> new_matrix = tangent_matrix" How can I fix this?
