Re: [petsc-users] Accelerate convergence of some specified unknowns of the matrix equation.

This usually isn't possible for iterative solvers and saves very little for direct solvers (you still have to pay the factorization cost, but can save a little on solve cost which is already vastly cheaper). While it's easy to make the residual zero for some subset of unknowns, that says nothing

[petsc-users] Accelerate convergence of some specified unknowns of the matrix equation.

2017-08-02 Thread Ji Zhang
Dear all, I'm a PETSc user, solving some matrix equations using GMRES method. The matrix is dense and huge, i.e. 10,000~100,000 unknowns. But I'm only interested in the last six unknowns. Is it possible to accelerate the convergence rate of them, even others are less accuracy. Thanks. Best,
