The Amat is used as the Krylov operator and the Pmat is used for preconditioning.

In a general sense, Pmat is just whatever data is to be used by the preconditioner, though for algebraic preconditioners, it's usually regarded as an assembled matrix. If you're not using PCShell, then you need to think about what the preconditioner needs (conceptually or check the code).

[petsc-users] using custom matrix vector multiplication

2024-03-28 Thread Raju Mandhapati 
Hello,

I want to use my own custom matrix vector multiplication routine (which
will use finite difference method to calculate it). I will supply a matrix
but that matrix should be used only for preconditioner and not for matrix
vector multiplication. Is there a way to do it?

thanks
Raju.
