[petsc-users] STFILTER in slepc

[Moritz Cygorek]

Thank you for the fast reply.


I've tried running my program (using the defaul Krylov-Schur method for sparse MPI matrices) with the additional options:


-st_type filter -st_filter_degree 2 -st_filter_interval 2.,2.7  -st_filter_range -2000,2000


and I get the following error message:


[0]PETSC ERROR: STFILTER cannot get the filter specified; please adjust your filter parameters (e.g. increasing the polynomial degree)
....

[0]PETSC ERROR: #1 FILTLAN_GetIntervals() line 451 in /home/applications/sources/libraries/slepc-3.9.2/src/sys/classes/st/impls/filter/filtlan.c

[0]PETSC ERROR: #6 EPSSolve() line 135 in /home/applications/sources/libraries/slepc-3.9.2/src/eps/interface/epssolve.c




Do you have a clue what I've missed?

There are no examples. You just set the type to STFILTER and set some parameters such as the interval of interest or the polynomial degree. See functions starting with STFilter here: http://slepc.upv.es/documentation/current/docs/manualpages/ST/index.html

In some problems it works well, but don't expect too much. It is still in our to-do list to make it more usable. It will be good to have your feedback. If you want, send results to slepc-maint, maybe we can help tuning the parameters.
