Multi grid does not strictly require you to restrict your external data. For example (I) algebraic mg (PCGAMG) only requires only the fine level operator: (I) you can define coarse level operators with geometric mg using Galerkin projection. The latter only requires one to specify how to interpolate your DM fields from fine to coarse (which PLEX and DA provide). Why not try these out for your problem first? Are there PETSc examples that do this? > Not that I'm aware off. Most use Galerkin or rediscretize the operator on the coarser levels. Thanks, Dave >
