[petsc-users] About the complex version of gmres.

  If I run with -pc_type lu it solves the system

  If I run with the default (ILU) -ksp_monitor_true_residual -ksp_converged_reason it does not converge. In fact, it makes no real progress to the solution.

  It is always important to use KSPGetConvergedReason() or -ksp_converged_reason or -ksp_error_if_not_converged to check that the solver has actually converged.

  If I run with -ksp_gmres_restart 100 it converges in 75 iterations.
