I'm implementing a coarse problem for a domain decomposition preconditioner.<br>
I use many processors to solve one subdomain and I want to pick one processor<br>
for each subdomain to solve the global coarse problem. So I need to set the<br>
local sizes of the coarse operator on the other processors to be zero. Is<br>
this a good idea? Thanks in advance!<br>
