What arguments are you referring to?<br>
<br>
PetscErrorCode DMDACreate2d(MPI_Comm comm,DMBoundaryType bx,DMBoundaryType by,DMDAStencilType stencil_type,<br>
PetscInt M,PetscInt N,PetscInt m,PetscInt n,PetscInt dof,PetscInt s,const PetscInt lx[],const PetscInt ly[],DM *da)<br>
<br>
the argument s is the stencil width and depends on the finite difference stencil you want to use. There is no da_overlap argument.<br>
