[petsc-users] ScaLAPACK EPS error

[Jose E. Roman]

I tried your example with both real and complex arithmetic, with version 3.20. I did not finish the computation, but I can confirm that the EPSSetUp() phase completes without errors.

There is a fix that was made in PETSc around version 3.17, it may affect you if you don't have it:
https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/5441

I would suggest upgrading to the latest version.

I've managed to do this using SLEPc's standard Krylov-Schur EPS, but I think it could be done more efficiently using ScaLAPACK. I receive the following error when attempting this. As I understand it, descinit is used to initialize an array, and the variable in question designates the leading dimension of the array, for which it seems an illegal value is somehow passed.
