Detailed Description

This class defines a PETSc-compliant purpose-built 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)

Let A=LDU be the following matrix factorisation

LDU = (I 0)(A11 0)(I inv(A11)B') (B*A11' I)(0 S)(0 I)

with I the identity matrix and S=A22-B*inv(A11)*B'

Let inv(A) be a preconditioner

inv(A) = inv(U)inv(D)inv(L) = (I -inv(A11)B')(inv(A11) 0)(I 0) (0 I)(0 inv(S))(-B*inv(A11) I)

This class implements an approximation of inv(A) where S=A22

inv(P) ~ inv(A)

inv(P) = (I -inv(A11)B')(inv(A11) 0)(I 0) (0 I)(0 inv(S=A22))(-B*inv(A11) I)

inv(P) = (inv(A11) -inv(A11)B'inv(S=A22))(I 0) (0 inv(S=A22))(-B*inv(A11) I)

In order to compute [y1 y2]' = inv(P)[x1 x2]' we do

z = inv(A11)*x1 y2 = inv(A22)*(x2 - B*z) y1 = z - inv(A11)(B*y2)

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).
