[petsc-users] about the preconditioned GMRES

Dear Petsc users,

My purpose is to solve AmatX=b, A is a symmetric indefinite matrix.
Here, I read the manual about the usage of preconditioned GMRES method:
Given a matrix Pmat which is a good approximation to Amat, and call

PetscErrorCode  KSPSetOperators(KSP ksp,Mat Amat,Mat Pmat,MatStructure flag).

My question is: If I have an explicit good approximation (T) to the
inverse of the Amat (that is T=Pmat^{_1}),
which call will be used to tell the KSP of having this explicit preconditioner.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Best wishes
Zhengyong
