[petsc-users] VecValidValues() reports NaN found

[linjing bo]

Hi, I'm trying to use PETSc's ksp method to solve a linear system. When running, Error is reported by VecValidValues() that NaN or Inf is found with error message listed below

After read the source code shown by backtrack informations, I realize the problem is in the right hand side vector. So I make a trial of set right hand side vector to ONE by VecSet, But the program still shows error message above, and using VecView or VecGetValue to investigate the first value of rhs vec shows the value is 1.0 as I set it to. Hope I clearly describe the problem. The code related is listed below

---------------------------Solver section--------------------------

  call VecSet( pet_bp_b, one, ierr)

  vecidx=[0,1]
  call VecGetValues( pet_bp_b, 2, vecidx, first, ierr)
  write(*,*) ' first two values ', first(1), first(2)

  call KSPSetInitialGuessNonzero(solver_bp,Petsc_True,ierr)
  call KSPSolve(solver_bp,pet_bp_b,pet_bp_x,ierr)
  call KSPView(solver_bp, PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_SELF,ierr)
  CHKERRQ(ierr)
