[petsc-users] questions about contour integration solvers in SLEPc

[Michael Povolotskyi]

Dear Developers of SLEPc,
I have found that SLEPc has now two eigenvalues solver that are based on 
contour integration, rather than on Krylov space method.
They are EPSFEAST and EPSCISS.

I'm eager to try these solvers in my code both for Hermitian and 
non-Hermitian problems.
My questions are as follows:
1) Are there any tutorial examples for those solvers?
2) How is the algorithm of EPSCISS is different from EPSFEAST algorithm?
Is it similar to one from 
http://prb.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v86/i7/e075103, where FEAST is extended 
to the non-Hermitian matrices?
3) Will I be able to configure SLEPC to use FEAST algorithm from MKL?

Thank you,
Michael.
