What will happen if my matrix has (close to, or exactly) zeros on the<br>
diagonal? Does Petsc handle such cases smartly somehow or am I right<br>

exactly zero)?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It would depend on what preconditioner you are using.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
