    another (larger) system and solves it as well. This example illustrates
    preloading of instructions with the smaller system so that more accurate

    is the system of interest). See the 'Performance Hints' chapter of the
    users manual for a discussion of preloading. Input parameters include
    -f0 <input_file> : first file to load (small system)

    du d^2 u
    -- = a ----- ; 0 <= x <= 1;
    dt dx^2

    with periodic boundary conditions

    2nd order central discretization in space:

    [ d^2 u ] u_{i+1} - 2u_i + u_{i-1}
    [ ----- ] = ------------------------
    [ dx^2 ]i h^2

    i = grid index; h = x_{i+1}-x_i (Uniform)
    0 <= i < n h = 1.0/n

    Thus,

    du
    -- = Ju; J = (a/h^2) tridiagonal(1,-2,1)_n
    dt

    Implicit Runge-Kutta method:

    U^(k) = u^n + dt \\sum_i a_{ki} JU^{i}
    u^{n+1} = u^n + dt \\sum_i b_i JU^{i}

    i = 1,...,s (s -> number of stages)

    At each time step, we solve

    [ 1 ] 1
    [ -- I \\otimes A^{-1} - J \\otimes I ] U = -- u^n \\otimes A^{-1}
    [ dt ] dt

    where A is the Butcher tableaux of the implicit
    Runge-Kutta method,

    with MATKAIJ and KSP.

  • writing a user-defined nonlinear solver

    Solves a nonlinear system in parallel with a user-defined
    Newton method that uses KSP to solve the linearized Newton sytems. This solver
    is a very simplistic inexact Newton method. The intent of this code is to
    demonstrate the repeated solution of linear sytems with the same nonzero pattern.

    This is NOT the recommended approach for solving nonlinear problems with PETSc!
    We urge users to employ the SNES component for solving nonlinear problems whenever
    possible, as it offers many advantages over coding nonlinear solvers independently.

    We solve the Bratu (SFI - solid fuel ignition) problem in a 2D rectangular
    domain, using distributed arrays (DMDAs) to partition the parallel grid.
