All,
We run a test case with -ksp_rtol 1.0e-15 and -ksp_max_it 50000. Then we
compute the infinity and 2 norms of |a * xsolution -b| and the results are
below. Why are these values of norms in a range 10e-8 to 10e-10 while
-ksp_rtol is set 1.0e-15? What is the PETSc convergence criteria for the
matrix solver?
Thank you in advance,
-Hung
