Are you use -ksp_norm_type natural? CG is not monotone in other norms.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Yikes! I did not check that.

Also, if boundary conditions are enforced using a nonsymmetric<br>
formulation (for example), then you can get lack of monotonicity with CG<br>
that may not be catastrophic.<br>
