So this is a complex valued indefinite Helmholtz operator (very hard to
solve scalably) with axisymmetric coordinates. ML, hypre and GAMG all
performed about the same, with a big jump in residual initially and
essentially not solving it. You scaled it and this fixed ML and hypre but
not GAMG.
>From this output I can see that the eigenvalue estimates are strange. Your
equations look fine so I have to assume that the complex values are the
problem. If this is symmetric the CG is a much better solver and eigen
estimator. But this is not a big deal, especially since you have two
options that work. I would suggest not using cheby smoother, it uses these
bad eigen estimates, and it is basically not smoothing on some levels. You
can use this instead:
-mg_levels_ksp_type richardson
-mg_levels_pc_type sor
Note, if you have a large shift these equations are very hard to solve
iteratively and you should just use a direct solver. Direct solvers in 2D
are not bad,
