I want to solve some (weakly) coupled system of equations of
the following form:<br>
<br>
A B u<br>
. = .....<br>
0 C v<br>
<br>
<br>
so, C is the discrete Laplacian and A and B are some more
complicated operators (I make use of linear finite elements).
All boundary conditions are periodic, so the unknown v is
determined only up to a constant. A and B contain both the
identity operator, so u is fixed. Now I want to solve the
system on the whole (there are reasons to do it in this way!)
and I must provide information about the nullspace to the
solver. When I am right, to provide the correct nullspace I
must solve one equation with A. Is there any way in PETSc to
circumvent the problem?</blockquote>

<div>If I understand you correctly, your null space vector is (0
I). I use the same null space for SNES ex62.</div>

(0 I) cannot be an element of the null space, as multiplying it with
the matrix results in a non-zero vector. Or am I totally wrong about
null spaces of matrices?</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Maybe you could as your question again. I am not understanding what you want.</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">
