[Trilinos-Users] Solvers and preconditioners available for Epetra_VbrMatrices

[Alberto F. Martín-Huertas]

 Dear Mike,

 thanks for your quick response.

 Does your comment also apply for
 Stratimikos+Thyra ? In particular, can one wrap
 Thyra abstract linear algebra objects
 around Epetra_VbrRowMatrices ?

 Best regards,
  Alberto.
