Jens,
You are correct; functionality to do this does not exist in DMMG. So you
have to write it yourself as you have, let us know if you have any trouble
with it.

When using DMMG I have not been able to find such a functionallity ? I am using galerkin matrices on all coarser MG levels. Here is the code that I am currently using

At the moment I am using the Krylov subspace methods, KSP. Now that this is runnning I would like to see which improvements a MG precoditioner would give. Before starting doing so I would ask you guys whether you have any examples ? The documentation on the PCMG is a bit sparse (:-))

This approximate solution is interpolated to a fine grid and used as an initial guess on this finer grid G_1. Now you make a few iterative sweeps on G_1 smoothening out the high k modes and get v_1. Restrict this approximate solution to G_0. Relax on G_0. Correct the solution v_1 and use this as an initial guess on an even finer grid G_2 etc. etc. In other words it combines "nested iteration" and "coarse grid correction".

On the finest grid I would like to apply boundary conditions, provide the previous time step as an initial guess and use "coarse grid correction" only. My own code is (probably) full of errors :-) so I have tried running the multigrid examples under KSP and SNES with -pc_type richardson and/or, -pc_mg_type additive and/or -ksp_type preonly etc.What I can see using -ksp/snes_view is that the starting point is always the coarsest grid with dimensions given by DACreateNd ? The next MG-Grids are always finer. Can I make DMMG start on the finest grid with dimensions given in DACreateNd ?
