PCPBJACOBI#
Point block Jacobi preconditioner
Notes#
See PCJACOBI for diagonal Jacobi, PCVPBJACOBI for variable-size point block, and PCBJACOBI for large size blocks
This works for MATAIJ and MATBAIJ matrices and uses the blocksize provided to the matrix
Uses dense LU factorization with partial pivoting to invert the blocks; if a zero pivot is detected a PETSc error is generated.
Developer Notes#
This should support the PCSetErrorIfFailure() flag set to PETSC_TRUE to allow
the factorization to continue even after a zero pivot is found resulting in a Nan and hence
terminating KSP with a KSP_DIVERGED_NANORINF allowing
a nonlinear solver/ODE integrator to recover without stopping the program as currently happens.
Perhaps should provide an option that allows generation of a valid preconditioner
even if a block is singular as the PCJACOBI does.
