[petsc-users] Recommended examples for using KSP and multigrid with DM

Hi,

I'm using DMDA. The LHS of the poisson eqn is fixed, only the RHS changes.

I thought I can't find ex29.c in the current ver of PETSc, so I thought 
it's no longer valid. Do I always have to get the jacobian as in ex29 to 
solve the Poisson eqn?

What about a good ex. using KSPBCGS to solve my momentum eqn with DMDA?

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
