  It can be used just like any preconditioner in PETSc
so does not need a particular example. You can also 
use PCSetCoordinates() to provide the coordinates of the 
grid points which Prometheus can use to generate 
a better preconditioner.

   If you wish to use it "as a solver" that is, without a 
Krylov method, you simply use -ksp_type richardson. It
is very unlikely this will do better in time then using it
with GMRES or Bi-CG-stab but it is trivial to experiment
to determine what is best for your problem.
