}<br>
}<br>
PetscFunctionReturn(0);<br>
}<br>
<br>
And change it to only destroy mats on each level ierr = MatDestroy(&mglevels[i]->A);<wbr>CHKERRQ(ierr); Keep everything else.<br>
<br>
Not that you will need to include #include <petsc/private/pcmgimpl.h> in your code.<br>

I could overallocate, add some extra entries to the first matrix, and reuse that matrix, but I would have to roughly double the number of allocated entries, leading to an undesirable increase in memory. I think that one alternative would be to just reset the KSP object when I change the operator, but, if I'm not mistaken, this would destroy all the interpolation operators and I'd have to redefine all of them.<br>

I want to use the same PCMG structure for all the matrices (same interpolation, same restriction, same number of levels, same smoothing techniques, etc.), so I tried using KSPSetOperators to just change the operator. My interpolation matrices are MPIAIJ matrices that I have defined myself and provided to PCMG. My hope was that, with the new operator I provided, PETSc would recompute all of the coarse/intermediate grid operators using the Galerkin process with the old interpolation matrices and the new fine-grid operator.<br>

After some extensive digging around the PETSc source code, it seems that the operators in mg.c are not updated by KSPSetOperators. When I do a MatView on mglevels->A or the operator in mglevels->smoothu or mglevels->smoothd in PCMGMCycle_Private() of mg.c, it has the matrix values of the old matrix. From what I understand, the only place where mglevels->A (used to compute the residual) is updated is in PCApplyRIchardson_MG() of mg.c, from the following lines of code:<br>

I think there are more issues as well, but this is the easiest one to point out. (For example, it doesn't seem like it is possible to update the operator for mglevels[i]->smoothd from KSPSetOperators on the outermost KSP object, and, if I try to set it manually via PCMGGetSmoother, I get errors if the nonzero structures of the coarse-grid operators have changed, which tends to be the case when the fine-grid operator's nonzero structure changes).<br>
