There should be an ISL2G there automatically. It does not make sense to me that
its gone,
[Buesing, Henrik] You are right! I was not calling DMGlobaltoLocal. I was
operating on the global arrays. Thus, it was not there. Works now!
Thank you!
Henrik
PS: I am using Fortran so no PetscFunctionBegin/Return() there. And yes, I am
not good with the debugger as you already figured.
Thanks,
Matt
Thank you!

Betreff: Re: [petsc-users] Newton methods that converge all the time

Dear all,
I am solving a system of nonlinear, transient PDEs. I am using Newton’s method
in every time step to solve the nonlinear algebraic equations. Of course,
Newton’s method only converges if the initial guess is sufficiently close to
the solution.
This is often not the case and Newton’s method diverges. Then, I reduce the
time step and try again. This can become prohibitively costly, if the time
steps get very small. I am thus looking for variants of Newton’s method, which
have a bigger convergence radius or ideally converge all the time.
I tried out the pseudo-timestepping described in
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/src/ts/examples/tutorials/ex1f.F.html.
However, this does converge even worse. I am seeing breakdown when I have phase
changes (e.g. liquid to two-phase).
I was under the impression that pseudo-timestepping should converge better.
Thus, my question:
Am I doing something wrong or is it possible that Newton’s method converges and
pseudo-timestepping does not?
Thank you for any insight on this.
Hi Hendrik,
I would try using NGMRES as a nonlinear preconditioner. I have an example in my
tutorial slides for using it with SNES ex19.
I hope this will work because I suspect that around the phase boundary Newton
directions are noisy, since sometimes you
step into the other phase. NGMRES takes a few directions (you set the m) and
then picks the best one.
Hopefully this helps,
Matt
Henrik
