<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Jed,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your reply. The assembled matrix I have corresponds to the full problem on the full mesh. There are no "Neumann" problems (or any sort of domain decomposition) defined in the code generates the matrix. However, I think assembling the full problem is equivalent to implicitly assembling the "Neumann" problems, since the system can be partitioned as;</div><div><br></div><div>[A_{LL} | A_{LI}] [u_L] [F]</div><div>-----------|------------ -------- = -----<br></div><div>[A_{IL} |A_{II} ] [u_I] [G]<br></div><div><br></div><div>and G should correspond to the Neumann problem. I might be thinking wrong (or maybe I completely misunderstood the idea), if so please correct me. But I think that the problem is that I am not explicitly telling PCBDDC which dofs are interface dofs.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Abdullah Ali Sivas<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, 23 Oct 2018 at 23:16, Jed Brown <<a href="mailto:jed@jedbrown.org">jed@jedbrown.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Did you assemble "Neumann" problems that are compatible with your<br>
