Okey. I checked the condition number "max/min".<br>It increases significantly in each ksp iterations!!!<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>The approximation is becoming better. The condition number is harder to actually compute than the solution.</div>

OK. Then how I can calculate and monitor the "condition number" in ksp?</blockquote></div><br></div><div>-ksp_monitor_singular_value</div>
