Bugfix: numerical_setup! for PETScLinearSolver #104

Are you sure you want to change the base?

are we sure that we do no longer need to call KSPSetOperators?

This is what the manual says:
To solve successive linear systems that have different preconditioner matrices
(i.e., the matrix elements and/or the matrix data structure change), the user
must call KSPSetOperators and KSPSolve for each solve.
which would indicate we do. However, my tests point to this not being the case. This works, for instance:
solver = PETScLinearSolver(mykspsetup)
println("First call")
ns = numerical_setup(symbolic_setup(solver,A),A)
x = allocate_in_domain(A)
fill!(x,0.0)
solve!(x,ns,b)
println("Second call")
map(Ai -> rmul!(Ai,2.0), partition(A))
b *= 2.0
numerical_setup!(ns,A)
x2 = allocate_in_domain(A)
fill!(x2,0.0)
solve!(x2,ns,b)
e = norm(x-x2)
println("Error =", e)

In theory, all supported types
We previously threw away PETSc's matrix
ns.B
, and re-set the KSP object (commented code).This is not only unnecessary, but can also cause some issues with MUMPS.
I am not completely sure why, but here are some notes on the issue:
find the pivots.
I think it probably re-orders the matrix internally, and does not re-order it again when we swap it
using
KSPSetOperators
. So when accessing the new (non-permuted) matrix using the old permutation,it throws a stack overflow error.
In fact, when updating the SNES setups in the nonlinear solvers, we do not re-set the matrix,
but use
copy!
instead.
