Hopefully I understand from my quick look at the paper. It looks like 2
levels MG, using DD as the smoother for the fine grid:

  -pc_type mg -pc_mg_nlevels 2 -pc_mg_galerkin
    -mg_levels_pc_type asm

The coarse grid will automatically be LU as in the paper. You can use
PCTELESCOPE to move the coarse grid to a subset
of processes or one process (PCREDUNDANT also works here). You do not have
to use Galerkin projection, but could
rediscretize on the coarse grid.

  Thanks,

     Matt
