[petsc-users] Optimal coloring using -snes_fd_color with DMDACreate

[Buesing, Henrik]

Great! Thank you! I will have a look at the code and I will also check how much function evaluations are needed in my case.

        I'm not familiar with that paper so I am not sure if it produces
     exactly the same colorings. It is based on the same principle. The
     coloring is done in
     /src/dm/impls/da/fdda.c DMCreateColoring_DA_3d_MPIAIJ() so you could
     compare. Note if they have more efficient special cases in the paper
     they could be added to the code without too much difficulty.
