<div id=":4pk">I'm partially refactoring BDDC code I contributed to petsc-dev, trying to limit the extent of hand-written code and to exploit already existing PETSc code. I want to know if there are DM objects in PETSc suitable to store informations related to the local to global map of MATIS objects which I can use to manage communications between different levels (through DMCoarsen, DMGetInterpolation and DMGetMatrix). DMMesh can do the job?<br>

<div><br></div><div>I don't see how there is enough information in a MATIS to define coarsening and interpolation algebraically. But maybe you are thinking of making PCBDDC algebraically construct a grid hierarchy? I would not be inclined to put that into DM, instead, I would call PCMG functions directly.</div>
