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

[Joon hee Choi]

Hi Karli,
Thank you very much. I solved my problem using MatGetSubMatrices.

Best regards,
Joon

Hi Joon,

yes, MatGetSubMatrices should do the job - even though it copies the 
values. Just create the respective index sets for irow and icol 
directly. Have a look at at src/mat/examples/tests/ex51.c [1] on how to 
extract the matrices. Keep in mind that you need to specify all indices 
within a block (cf. MatGetSubMatrices man page [2])

Best regards,
Karli
