Hi there,
I’m working on optimizing an inverse of a large block sparse matrix : [ [A C], [B, D] ] I’ve found that I can use the smaller blocks, and now I just need to be able to do an inverse of the matrix W = A - C D-1 B. The matrix D is a mass matrix so I am able to invert it and use the freedofs from the space to give to the inverse. The other matrices are also derived from Bilinear forms, in particular A is derived from the curl curl form plus a weighted mass form.
To provide a method for inverting this matrix, I was thinking of using the Matrix Free method outlined in the section on interfacing with Numpy and Scipy in the documentation. It requires only a method for applying the matrix W, which is no problem.
The problem though is that I don’t know how to get this process to recognize the freedofs. In the documentation the example that is given is this:
[code]import scipy
import scipy.sparse.linalg
tmp1 = f.vec.CreateVector()
tmp2 = f.vec.CreateVector()
def matvec(v):
tmp1.FV().NumPy()[:] = v
tmp2.data = a.mat * tmp1
return tmp2.FV().NumPy()
A = scipy.sparse.linalg.LinearOperator( (a.mat.height,a.mat.width), matvec)
u.vec.FV().NumPy()[:], succ = scipy.sparse.linalg.cg(A, f.vec.FV().NumPy())[/code]
It mentions in particular that the matrix a.mat is derived without Dirichlet dofs.
My question then is how can I incorporated Dirichlet dofs into the above example, and hence into my own process? Is there a way to do this that someone knows?
Thanks,
