Hana,
"product AB with A nest, B nest" is not supported by PETSc. I do not know why 
PETSc does not display such an error message. I'll check it.

Subject: [petsc-users] question on PCLSC with matrix blocks of type MATNEST


Hi all,

I am trying to solve linear systems arising from isogeometric discretization 
(similar to FEM) of the Navier-Stokes equations in parallel using PETSc. The 
linear systems are of saddle-point type, so I would like to use the 
PCFIELDSPLIT preconditioner with the -pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point option, 
Schur complement factorization and the LSC Schur complement preconditioner. I 
do not provide any user-defined operators for PCLSC in my codes (at least for 
now).

I store the matrix as a MATNEST consisting of 4 blocks (F for velocity-velocity 
part, Bt for velocity-pressure part, B for pressure-velocity part and NULL for 
pressure-pressure part). It is also convenient for me to store the blocks F, Bt 
and B as another MATNEST consisting of blocks corresponding to individual 
velocity components.

However, in this setting, I get the following error message:

[0]PETSC ERROR: Petsc has generated inconsistent data

I could not find any solution for this so far. My question is: Is it possible 
to use the LSC preconditioner in such case, where the matrix blocks are of type 
MATNEST? And if so, how?

Thank you,
