thank you for your response. When I use VecCreateGhost, I
get the following:<br>

<div>It appears that you passed a bad communicator. Did you not

I pass PETSC_COMM_WORLD to VecCreateGhost. <br>
<br>
I don't know what you mean by 'comm' variable :-( I called all the
routines to initialize PETSc.<br>

Cheers,<br>

I don't understand what could be causing it. I took very
good care to match the global numbers of ghost cells when
calling VecCreateGhost<br>

all,<br>

I've never used a mailing list before, so I hope this
message will reach PETSc users and experts and someone
might be willing to help me. I am also novice in
PETSc.<br>
<br>
I have developed an unstructured finite volume solver
on top of PETSc libraries. In sequential, it works
like a charm. For the parallel version, I do domain
decomposition externally with Metis, and work out
local and global numberings, as well as communication
patterns between processor. (The latter don't seem to
be needed for PETSc, though.) When I run my program
in parallel, it also works, but I miss values in
vectors' ghost points.<br>
<br>
I create vectors with command:
VecCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, &x);<br>
<br>
Is it possible to get the ghost values if a vector is
created like this?<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do not understand this question. By definition,
"ghost values" are those not stored in the global
vector.</div>
