MatCreateSchurComplement
Creates a new matrix object that behaves like the Schur complement of a matrix
Synopsis
#include "petscksp.h"
PetscErrorCode MatCreateSchurComplement(Mat A00,Mat Ap00,Mat A01,Mat A10,Mat A11,Mat *S)
Collective on A00
Input Parameters
| A00,A01,A10,A11 | - the four parts of the original matrix A = [A00 A01; A10 A11] (A11 is optional)
|
| Ap00 | - preconditioning matrix for use in ksp(A00,Ap00) to approximate the action of A^{-1}
|
Output Parameter
S -the matrix that the Schur complement S = A11 - A10 ksp(A00,Ap00) A01
Notes
The Schur complement is NOT actually formed! Rather, this
object performs the matrix-vector product by using formula S = A11 - A10 A^{-1} A01
for Schur complement S and a KSP solver to approximate the action of A^{-1}.
All four matrices must have the same MPI communicator.
A00 and A11 must be square matrices.
MatGetSchurComplement() takes as arguments the index sets for the submatrices and returns both the virtual Schur complement (what this returns) plus
a sparse approximation to the true Schur complement (useful for building a preconditioner for the Schur complement).
MatSchurComplementGetPmat() can be called on the output of this function to generate an explicit approximation to the Schur complement.
Developer Notes
The API that includes MatGetSchurComplement(), MatCreateSchurComplement(), MatSchurComplementGetPmat() should be refactored to
remove redundancy and be clearer and simplier.
