<div>it seems to me that x is your actual ghosted
vector. If this is true, then you need to get
its "local" form via <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Vec/VecGhostGetLocalForm.html#VecGhostGetLocalForm"
target="_blank">VecGhostGetLocalForm</a>().
Once you have done, you should be able to access
the ghosted nodes. Are you calling this function
anywhere?</div>
</div>

I tried that before. I did:<br>
<br>
Vec lx;<br>
VecGhostGetLocalForm(x, &lx)<br>
<br>
then I copied "lx" to my variable, like<br>
<br>
for(Int i=1; i<N; i++) /* N includes buffer cells
*/<br>
unk[i] = lx[i]<br>
<br>
but ghost values were also zero. I am thinking that
PETSc somehow clears the ghost values after a call to
KSP. Is it the case?<br>
<br>
<br>

Dear Mohammad,<br>

it doesn't help me, or I did not

If I do this:<br>

for(Int i=0; i<n; i++) {<br>

Now I have the following:<br>

hold both<br>
- Vec x, created by command
VecCreateGhost, with proper

<div>The local form is
just a local vector.
It doesn't even know
that a global problem
exists. You can't
index into it using
global indices. (In
general, there is no
efficient way to look
up information in the
local vector (includes
ghost points) using
global indices.)</div>

"n" is defined as
the number of cells
inside, i.e. without
buffers. "unk" is
my external array.
If I try to access
buffer values, I
use:<br>
<br>
<tt> for(Int i=0;
i<N; i++) {<br>
Int gi =
mesh.nodes[i].global_number;<br>
VecGetValues(x, 1,
&gi,

}<br>
</tt><br>
But then I end up
with tons of
warnings, presumably
because I am going
beyond "n". Vector
x was created with
VecCreateGhost.</div>
