<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Thank you Dave. It does give me the other options. However I want to be able to use the user defined fieldsplit_1_pc_type. In example ex70.c, there is a user defined Schur complement
preconditioner. I want to use that. Then how should I set the values for the options?

<div>You need to specify on the command line
<div>-pc_type fieldsplit -fieldsplit_0_pc_type xxx -fieldsplit_1_pc_type yyy</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Where xxx and yyy are the desired preconditioners for the (1,1) block and (2,2) block. Note that the default PC (ilu(0)) applied to both splits will fail for this example.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The comments in the code are misleading and incorrect. Without the option <font><span>-pc_type fieldsplit, all fieldsplit options have no effect.</span></font></div>
