[petsc-users] Slepc Question, shell-matrix

[feng wang]

Hi Jose,

I think the previous problem comes from my side. I have some uninitialized values in my part of code to compute the non-linear residuals. so, it produces a NAN when it tries to compute the matrix-vector product using finite difference.  This might make the slepc/pestc do unexpected things.

Now It seems I've got slepc running. eps_nev is set to 3 and I am trying to compute the ones with the largest amplitudes. Below is the slepc output.

 14 EPS converged value (error) #0 -0.000164282 (5.36813206e-09)
 16 EPS converged value (error) #1 -0.000160691+2.17113e-05i (3.37429620e-09)
 16 EPS converged value (error) #2 -0.000160691-2.17113e-05i (3.37429620e-09)
 Solution method: krylovschur

 Number of requested eigenvalues: 2
 Linear eigensolve converged (3 eigenpairs) due to CONVERGED_TOL; iterations 16
 ---------------------- --------------------
            k             ||Ax-kx||/||kx||
 ---------------------- --------------------
       -0.000164              0.0613788
  -0.000161+0.000022i         0.0773339
  -0.000161-0.000022i         0.0774536
 ---------------------- --------------------

The values in the brackets are the absolute error (I believe) and they seem very low. The relative error seems quite large.  Could you please comment on this?


Best regards,
Feng

The code is part of my big library and I cannot attach the whole code, sorry about this. but I am happy to provide more information. The attached code has some arrangements for halo exchange, but for the moment, it assumes it is a serial run.
