Hi PETSc team:

I just want to get some clarifications on the use of preconditioners in
PETSc.

Suppose I provide the Pmat as the second argument in KSPSetOperators as a
user-specified matrix and it is different from Amat, the actual matrix to
be solved. When I specify a preconditioner, say ASM, what does that mean? I
am assuming that we are doing a preonly-type thing for solving Pmat, is
that right? There is no iterative solver applied to Pmat over the
iterations.

Best,

Mike
