[Trilinos-Users] Solvers and preconditioners available for Epetra_VbrMatrices

[Bartlett, Roscoe A.]

Clarification,

The basic Thyra/Epetra adapters only require Epetra_Operator but the adpaters in Stratimikos for Ifpack, ML, AztecOO, etc. require Epetra_RowMatrix.  However, this means that if you create your own preconditioner, you just need to wrap it as an Epetra_Operator then in a Thyra adapter object and you can use it with Straimikos iterative solvers (bypassing any built-in preconditioners).

Epetra_VbrRowMatrix derives from Epetra_Operator so VBR should work just fine with Thyra and Stratimikos.  If it does not work, let us know.
