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

Wed Sep 21 05:20:27 CDT 2022

Yes, but you need to use a KSP that handles rectangular Mat, such as KSPLSQR (-ksp_type lsqr).
PCLU does not handle rectangular Pmat. The only PC that handle rectangular Pmat are PCQR, PCNONE.
If you supply the normal equations as the Pmat for LSQR, then you can use “standard” PC.
You can have a look at https://petsc.org/main/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex27.c.html <https://petsc.org/main/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex27.c.html> that covers most of these cases.

Thanks,
Pierre
