Hi,</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
When I use the MatCreateSchurComplementPmat to create a Schur complement for my own usage, I do not understand the logic when preuse=MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX. If all the matrixes are not empty, the first thing it did is</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
809: MatDestroy(Spmat);<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
So that means I cannot pass in an empty matrix. It works if I first do MatCreate a dummy matrix and then pass in. Is that just some inconsistency or is there something I misunderstood?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, it wants you to pass &Sp with Sp == NULL.
