[petsc-users] Calculating inertias

[Jose E. Roman]

If you obtained the PC object with KSPGetPC() then you do not have to destroy it, only the KSP object. KSPGetPC() only gives a pointer to the internal object, which is managed by the KSP.

>> You can do this directly in PETSc. Create a KSP object with PREONLY and PCCHOLESKY (or just a PC object). Then call KSPSetUp (or PCSetUp) and extract the factored matrix with PCFactorGetMatrix(). Then call MatGetInertia() on the factored matrix. Repeat this for each value of E.
