PCASMType#

Type of additive Schwarz method to use

Synopsis#

typedef enum {
  PC_ASM_BASIC       = 3,
  PC_ASM_RESTRICT    = 1,
  PC_ASM_INTERPOLATE = 2,
  PC_ASM_NONE        = 0
} PCASMType;

Values#

PC_ASM_BASIC - Symmetric version where residuals from the ghost points are used and computed values in ghost regions are added together. Classical standard additive Schwarz as introduced in [DW87].
PC_ASM_RESTRICT - Residuals from ghost points are used but computed values in ghost region are discarded [CS99]. Default.
PC_ASM_INTERPOLATE - Residuals from ghost points are not used, computed values in ghost region are added back in.
PC_ASM_NONE - Residuals from ghost points are not used, computed ghost values are discarded. Not very good.
