[petsc-users] gamg and zero pivots

Sat Sep 19 19:12:46 CDT 2015

I never get to see the output.  When it runs, I get:

and then it just sits there.

I know there is some issue with my matrix, as I get the same error if I use pc_type lu in serial, or if I use pc_type bjacobi in parallel, both of which are corrected by adding -pc_factor_shift_type NONZERO -sub_pc_factor_shift_type NONZERO, respectively.  However, I can’t quite seem to figure out the analogous command to use for the gamg preconditioner.
