[petsc-users] Matrix exponential

[Jose E. Roman]

No problem, do
F.setScale(-1j*t)

What do you mean "still facing problem with complex matrices"? Did you get an error during installation? Did it install for real scalars? Try setting PETSC_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS only, and unset PETSC_DIR PETSC_ARCH. Otherwise pip may not take into account --with-scalar-type=complex

This is my first time using SLEPc. So, I would like to ask you if you could send me a tutorial on matrix exponential using SLEPc in python code.
