I am confused now, because after you said to use MatSetValuesLocal() to
put the values in the matrix, i thought local means the unique
(sequential) numbering independent of the processors in use and global a
processor-specific (parallel) numbering.

So the single GLOBAL numbering is the numbering obtained from the
FE-Software represented by {0,...,23}

0  o  o  O  o  5
         |
6  o  o  O  o  o
         |
O--O--O--O--O--O
         |
o  o  o  O  o  23

And I set the 4 different local numberings {0,...,11}, {0,...,8},
{0,...7}, {0,...,5} with the call of ISLocalToGlobalMappingCreate?

How do I set the different indices?
{0,1,2,3,6,7,8,9,12,13,14,15} would be the index vector for the upper
left subdomain and {3,9,12,13,14,15} the index vector for the interface
of it.

The struct PC_IS defined in src/ksp/pc/impls/is/pcis.h contains IS
holding such an information (I suppose at least), but I have no idea how
to use them efficiently.

Do I have to manage a PC_IS object for every subdomain?

Thanks
