[Libmesh-users] Reuse of preconditioner

2009-08-20 Thread Tim Kroeger
Dear all, I'm implementing a Runge-Kutta scheme where inside each time step I have to solve three linear systems with the same matrix but different right hand sides. I'm using the ShellMatrix concept since the matrix is of the type A = B + v*w^T where B is sparse. Also, the matrix seems to
