The Preconditioners

  Available ParPre preconditioner types are, with their type and option listed:
PCAdditiveSchwarz
with option addschwarz; section 4. This method and the next are based on overlapping domain decomposition.
PCMultiplicativeSchwarz
with option mulschwarz; section 5.
PCGenBlockSSOR
with option genblockssor; section 6. A generalisation of SSOR and ILU methods.
PCDomainDecomp
with option domdecomp; section 7. A Schur complement method based on domain decompositioning with an interface system.
PCMultiLevel
with option multilevel; section 8. A collection of multilevel incomplete factorisations and algebraic multigrid methods.
The use of these identifiers and options is explained in section 2.2.
