Re: Further question about PC with Jaocbi Row Sum

[Barry Smith <bsmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  There is no super easy way to do this that I can think of.

  The diagonal cases you can run with -pc_type jacobi and the  
nondiagonal with -pc_type lu (or Cholesky)
I realize this is not exactly what you want.
