[petsc-users] Transpose of Block Matrix with aij type

[Karl Rupp]

Hi Joon,

sorry, that was a pretty bad idea (wouldn't even work with square 
matrices in general)

I'm afraid you'll have to set up new matrices A, B with the respective 
entries. For performance reasons you better use a dense format since 
your matrices are so small.

Best regards,
Karli
