Detailed Description

This class defines a PETSc-compliant purpouse-build preconditioner.

Let A be a matrix arising in the FEM discretisation of the bidomain equations with the following block structure:

A = (A11 B') (B A22)

By creating an instance of this class, one will define the following preconditioner:

inv(M) = inv( (A11 0) = (inv(A11) 0) (0 A22) ) (0 inv(A22))

The inverses are approximate with one cycle of AMG.

Note: This class requires PETSc to be build including HYPRE library. If it's not available, it will throw the following error:

[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message ------------------------------------ [0]PETSC ERROR: Unknown type. Check for miss-spelling or missing external package needed for type! [0]PETSC ERROR: Unable to find requested PC type hypre!

and will approximate the inverse of the subblocks with PETSc's default preconditioner (bjacobi at the time of writing this).
