<div dir="ltr">I see your point. Since the residue ff[0] and ff[xs+xm-1] are going to be minimized to zero, it forces that xx[0]=0 and xx[xs+xm-1]-1.0=0. So the BC is satisfied.<div><br></div><div>Thank you.</div><div><br>

> 1) In line 150-151, why do we need to call MatSeqAIJSetPreallocation before MatMPIAIJSetPreallocation? I found that without the seqaij call, the program crashed. However, the mat J we want to create is the mpiaij.<br>

> 2) In line 390-397, it sets the values of the residue function at the boundary. Where do these values come from? In other words, I am not clear about ff[0]=xx[0] and ff[xs+xm-1] = xx[xs+xm-1] - 1.0;<br>
<br>
</div> At 0 we want to force the solution to be 0. and at 1 we want to force the solution to be 1. So this is just a way to apply Dirichlet boundary conditions.<br>
