The MATSEQBAIJ matrix automatically uses a point block ILU; with the block size of the matrix. So if your matrix naturally has a block size bs if you use the MATSEQBAIJ matrix type it will be point block ILU of block size bs.<br>
<br>
We don't have a variable point block ILU in PETSc for SeqAIJ. It is possible to write but would be rather involved.<br>
