Hi Mark,
Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation. You're right, there's definitely 
some bug on our end. I will keep you posted.

There is clearly something very wrong with your code. I would suggest starting 
with an example code for instance KSP/examples/tutorial/ex56.c and 
incrementally add your operator to get something that is working. 


Also if you have multiple degrees of freedom per vertex, for instance 
elasticity, then you want to set the block size of the matrix accordingly.

Hi Mark, 
We added the Jacobi line and it appears to accept that flag now. However, we 
are getting all zeros for the solution vector. And PETSc is claiming to have 
converged in 7 iterations to the relative tolerance.

Please keep this on the Petsc list. 

We seem to have lost Jacobi smoother again. I'm suspecting that you're some 
funny character in your line with Jacobi that is Confusing the parser. Get back 
to the old file with the two two Jacobi entries and delete the other line and 
get Jacobi in the KSP view output. There should be no SOR in the output.

Hi Mark, 
I added all these new things. The PCAMG is now ending very quickly but the 
residual is unreasonably large by about 10 orders of magnitude. I noticed the 
line "Linear solve did not converge due to DIVERGED_INDEFINITE_PC iterations 2" 
in the output, could this be causing the problem? It only appears to be going 
for 2 iterations now.

Ari, I would also check that your operator is not messed up in parallel. The 
solver is looking pretty solid. 


Also, you can configure PETSc with hypre and use '-pc_type hypre'. If hypre is 
also good in serial but hosed on multi-proc then it is most probably your 
operator.

So remove one of the -mg_levels_pc_type jacobi and add -mg_coarse_ksp_type 
preonly, then verify that this works on one proc and then try two procs.

Oh, actually this worked. You have this ...pc_type jacobi in there twice, so 
one of them was "unused". 


Try this with 2 processors now.

So I commented out the line PCSetType(pc, PCGAMG). The line 
KSPSetFromOptions(ksp) was already in the code at the end of our initialization 
routine. I also added .petscrc to the working dir. Here is the current output. 
It seems as if Option left: name:-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi (no value) is still 
present in the output..I dunno. 



Yea, I dunno either. If you use -help you will get printout of the available 
options. If you do this you will see stuff like -mg_levels_1_ ... you can also 
see this in the ksp_view. There is a shortcut that lets you _not_ put "_1" in. 
Try putting this in for each level like so: 



-mg_levels_1_pc_type jacobi 

-mg_levels_2_pc_type jacobi 
-mg_levels_3_pc_type jacobi 



I also notice that the coarse grid ksp is GMRES. This is our fault. It should 
be preonly. Add: 


-mg_coarse_ksp_type preonly

At the end of this you have: 



#PETSc Option Table entries: 
-ksp_view 
-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi 
-options_left 
#End of PETSc Option Table entries 
There is one unused database option. It is: 
Option left: name:-mg_levels_pc_type jacobi (no value) 


So this jacobi parameter is not being used. 


Do you call KPSSetFromOptions? Do you set solver parameters in the code? Like 
PCGAMG? 


You should not set anything in the code, it just confuses things at this point. 
Use KSPSetFromOptions(). You can hardwire stuff before this call, this just 
lets you set the defaults, but you should always call this last to let command 
line parameters override the defaults. 


You can put this in a .petscrc file in the working directory and try again.
