Dear all,

      I have been able to use AMG (using ML) for some of my problems and am 
looking to delve deeper into the workings of the algorithm to better understand 
how to use it for larger and more complex problems. Since my problems are 
hyperbolic and involve sharp gradients, I think there is a possibility that 
coarse level operators are not very stable in some problems. I see evidence of 
this because in many cases, I need to use lu or a very high k ilu(k) on coarser 
levels to keep the iterative solver from diverging.

    In this regard, I am wondering whether it is possible to obtain the coarse 
grid operators (or at the very least, the eigenstructure at these levels). 
Right now, I am doing the monitoring at the baseline level but I am looking for 
additional information.


Regards,
Karthik.
