[petsc-users] fieldsplit recursive

Fri Jun 29 03:17:08 CDT 2012

Hi,

If I understand this correctly, it also implies that the fieldsplit-in-fieldsplit options described in Jed's manuscript on the new multiphysics options of PETSc 

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/uploads/cels/papers/P2017-0112.pdf

section IV are broken in PETSC 3.3.
That's a bummer as it is the preconditioner we most commonly used.

cheers,
Boris

Are you willing to share your code with petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov so that we can reproduce the problem and fix it properly for the long run? (The problem is in PETSc not in your code).
