MATSOLVERUMFPACK#

“umfpack” - A matrix type providing direct solvers, LU, for sequential matrices via the external package UMFPACK. Use ./configure --download-suitesparse to install PETSc to use UMFPACK

Use -pc_type lu -pc_factor_mat_solver_type umfpack to use this direct solver

Consult UMFPACK documentation for more information about the Control parameters which correspond to the options database keys below.
