Hello, Jed
Thanks for your timely reply. I deal with the soil-water coupled problem in
geotechnical engineering,
whose stiffness matrix is ill-conditioned. I have did some work about it,
mainly finding the effective
solvers and preconditioners. I used the command line option like this:
mpiexec -n 4 ./ex4f -ksp_type cgs -pc_type sor -ksp_rtol 1.0e-15
-ksp_converged_reason.
So, I also want to use the multigrid just like the simple command. There is
only a little introduction
about multigrid in the manual. Multigrid is complex and not a easy thing for
me, so I just need to konw how
to use it simply in PETSc to solve the Ax=b system.
Thanks.
Jim
