I want it to be an efficient operation. The idea is to convert a generalized eigenvalue problem (H*x = lamda*M*x) to a standard one (M^{-1}*H*x = lambda*x). The M^{-1} is of type MATNEST whereas H is MPIAIJ. In my problem M^{-1} is computed once whereas H changes every iteration. So performing low-level matrix multiplication or creating H as MATNEST and assembling it from its sub-matrices at every iteration sounds inefficient. <br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You can solve these types of things with SLEPc without explicit MatMat.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div></div>Regards,<br></div>Bikash<br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 9:21 AM, Patrick Sanan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:patrick.sanan@gmail.com" target="_blank">patrick.sanan@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">MatMatMult with MATNEST does not seem to be supported, based only on the fact that there are no functions of the form MatMatMult_*_MatNest defined with the MATNEST implementation : <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/src/mat/impls/nest/matnest.c.html" target="_blank">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/src/mat/impls/nest/matnest.c.html</a><div><br></div><div>Does this operation need to be efficient?
