<p class="MsoNormal">Start by getting your time domain (definite, no omega shift) solves working. This can be a challenge for NV. There are techiques for this but we do not have them. Start with plane aggregation (-pc_gamg_nsmooths 0), this should be able
to work OK, then try smoothing, this will probably not work.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Now add the shift. If you are shifting to high frequency then there is no hope w/o very special methods so use a direct solver.<u></u><u></u></p>

Not without more information/experimentation. You should check the<br>
literature for your problem domain to see what people claim is<br>
successful or does not work.<u></u><u></u></p>
