Can I define the matrix-vector multiplication in PARDISO ?

[anfangde]

Hi, All,

As we know, the key to any iterative solver, e.g. GMRES, CGS, is the matrix-vector multiplication. So, I guess one of the main operation of Pardiso is to compute the matrix-vector multiplication. However, for some reason, I can not get teh explict form of the matrix to be solved, and I want to compute the matrix-vector multiplication out of the Pardiso. Therefore, I wonder whether Pardiso support this ?

Thank you !

PARDISO as many other sparse direct solvers doesn't use the matrix-vector multiplication for solving linear systems. The matrix-vector-multiplication can be only used for iterative refinement.A sparse representation in the compressed sparse row format is necessary to solve linear system with the help of PARDISO.

All the best
