<p>Hi Patrick,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for your recent updates on DMStag. <br>
After getting the Finite Difference Coloring to work with our solver, I was testing that DMCreateFieldDecomposition routine that you added last week.<br>
It seems to work fine when there is only one unknown per location (i.e. one unknown on vertices and/or one unknown on edges <span>and/or</span> one unknown on faces and/or one unknown on elements).
<br>
That being said, when there is more than one unknown in some location (let's say 2 unknowns on vertices for instance), I could not get the ISs for those two unknowns with that routine.
<br>
Should I still rely on <span>PCFieldSplitSetDetectSaddlePoint in this case? <br>
Many thanks once again.</span></p>

<div>Here is an MR which intends to introduce some logic to support DMCreateFieldDecomposition(). It doesn't use the PetscSection approach, which might be preferable, but nonetheless is a necessary component so It'd like to get it in, even if it has room for
further optimization. Hopefully this can be followed fairly soon with some more examples and tests using PCFieldSplit itself.<br>

<div>Hi Zakariae -
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The usual way to do this is to define an IS (index set) with the degrees of freedom of interest for the rows, and another one for the columns, and then use MatCreateSubmatrix [1] .</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's not a particularly convenient way to create an IS with the degrees of freedom corresponding to a particular "stratum" (i.e. elements, faces, edges, or vertices) of a DMStag, but fortunately I believe we have some code to do exactly this in a development
branch. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll track it down and see if it can quickly be added to the main branch.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note that an easy way to keep track of this would be to create a section with the different locations as fields. This Section could then</div>
<div>easily create the ISes, and could automatically interface with PCFIELDSPLIT.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
