<p>I don't like this idea of the matrix type determining the algorithm, I'd rather choose the algorithm.</p>
<p>Can we decouple it by building the prolongation operator P whose columns are harmonic extension of the coarse nodes? Then the coarse operator looks like P^T A P just like multigrid (for which we have a matop) instead of looking like a Schur complement.</p>

</blockquote><div><br>Yes. When creating the BDDC coarse matrix, now the code has three 3 options<br><br>A) coarse matrix is a MATIS -> multilevel BDDC <br>B) coarse matrix is SEQAIJ -> one level BDDC with only one proc (or all) solving directly the coarse problem<br>
