[petsc-users] Slepc Question, shell-matrix

Tue Aug 23 05:32:26 CDT 2022

The relative residual norms that are printed at the end are too large. For NHEP problems, they should be below the tolerance. Don't know what is happening. Does your shell matrix represent a linear (constant) operator? Or does it change slightly depending on the input vector?

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.
