[petsc-users] Problem solving Ax=b with rectangular matrix A

[fujisan]

I'm trying to solve Ax=b with a sparse rectangular matrix A (of size 33x17
in my test) using
options '-ksp_type stcg -pc_type lu' on 1 or 2 cpus.

And I always get an error saying "Incompatible vector local lengths" (see
below).

Here is the relevant lines of my code:

program test
    ...
    ! Variable declarations

    PetscCallA(PetscInitialize(PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER,ierr))

    PetscCall(MatCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,A,ierr))
    PetscCall(MatSetSizes(A,PETSC_DECIDE,PETSC_DECIDE,m,n,ierr))
    PetscCall(MatSetType(A,MATMPIAIJ,ierr))
    PetscCall(MatSetFromOptions(A,ierr))
    PetscCall(MatSetUp(A,ierr))
    PetscCall(MatGetOwnershipRange(A,istart,iend,ierr))

    do irow=istart,iend-1
        ... Reading from file ...
        PetscCall(MatSetValues(A,1,irow,nzv,col,val,ADD_VALUES,ierr))
        ...
    enddo

    PetscCall(MatAssemblyBegin(A,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY,ierr))
    PetscCall(MatAssemblyEnd(A,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY,ierr))

    ! Creating vectors x and b
    PetscCallA(MatCreateVecs(A,x,b,ierr))

    ! Duplicating x in u.
    PetscCallA(VecDuplicate(x,u,ierr))

    ! u is used to calculate b
    PetscCallA(VecSet(u,1.0,ierr))

    PetscCallA(VecAssemblyBegin(u,ierr))
    PetscCallA(VecAssemblyEnd(u,ierr))

    ! Calculating Au = b
    PetscCallA(MatMult(A,u,b,ierr)) ! A.u = b

    PetscCallA(KSPSetType(ksp,KSPCG,ierr))

    PetscCallA(KSPSetOperators(ksp,A,A,ierr))

    PetscCallA(KSPSetFromOptions(ksp,ierr))

    ! Solving Ax = b, x unknown
    PetscCallA(KSPSolve(ksp,b,x,ierr))

    PetscCallA(VecDestroy(x,ierr))
    PetscCallA(VecDestroy(u,ierr))
    PetscCallA(VecDestroy(b,ierr))
    PetscCallA(MatDestroy(A,ierr))
    PetscCallA(KSPDestroy(ksp,ierr))

    call PetscFinalize(ierr)
end program

The code reads a sparse matrix from a binary file.
I also output the sizes of matrix A and vectors b, x, u.
They all seem consistent.

What am I doing wrong?
Is it possible to solve Ax=b with A rectangular?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Have a nice day.
