<p>Algebraic multigrid can be used directly, -pc_type gamg -pc_gamg_agg_nsmooths 1. Geometric either required that you use the PCMG interface to set interpolation (and provide a coarse operator for non-Galerkin) or use a DM that provides coarsening capability.</p>
<p>What kind of problem are you solving?</p>

<div> I want to use the multigrid as a preconditioner. The introduction about it in the manual is little.</div>
<div>So are there some typical examples or details about multigrid? Is it used just like other preconditioners</div>
<div>like jacobi, sor, which can be simply used in the cammand line options?</div>
<div> Thanks.</div>
