Hi Mark, I use "KSPComputeEigenvalues" and it works with complex numbers. For the moment, this should be enough for me.
Besides, the actual number of eigenvalues computed changes from iteration to iteration. Just for curiosity, how does the code decide how many to output?

I would look at the existing code and see if you can see what is limiting it to real (comments hopefully), if it looks like something you could do, start with a git repo of PETSc, configure with complex scalar values, modify an existing test or make your own to test it, and make it work. At that point you can contribute that to PETSc (there is documentation on how to do that including our coding practices that you should be able to infer to a large extent from the code you are modifying). At that point PETSc will maintain it. Mark I am solving a set of linear systems of A_i x_i = B_i with matrix-based GMRES. The entries of A_i and B_i are complex numbers. It is pre-conditioned with ASM and the preconditioning matrix is A_i itself. I would like to show the Ritz value to understand the convergence behaviour for each A_i x_i = B_i. ________________________________ From: Mark Adams <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: 14 July 2022 14:16 To: feng wang <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [petsc-users] KSPComputeRitz, GMRES, matrix with complex number No. I missed that note.

Maybe I have a misunderstanding of the documentation of KSPComputeRitz (https://petsc.org/main/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSPComputeRitz/). It says "-this is currently not implemented when PETSc is built with complex numbers". But if it works, I will give it a try.

You need to configure PETSc to use complex numbers and it should work. This is an advanced method and it does not have any tests, which basically says it is very experimental. Don't expect it to be very robust.

I am looking at KSPComputeRitz<https://petsc.org/main/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSPComputeRitz/> and it seems to me that it only works with Petsc compiled with real numbers. Is there an easy alternative way to compute Ritz values for matrices with complex numbers? Thanks, Feng
