pardiso: exception when solving linear system with mkl_sequential

[Alexey1978]

I have the linear system Ax=b which solve using mkl pardiso

Number of nonzeros in factors = 697828

Number of factorization MFLOPS = 593

It works well and correct. The system is sparse around main diagonal. But when I add additional subdiagonals far left and ar far right from main diagonal, then I have an error when calling function  PARDISO (pt, &maxfct, &mnum, &mtype, &phase,
&n, a, ia, ja, &idum, &nrhs, iparm, &msglvl, &ddum, &ddum, &error);

Hi Alexey,

Please turn on matrix checker (iparm[26]=1). It is very likely that something is not right about the matrix pattern (ia, ja). Also check that the indexing and matrix type is set right for the input matrix (e.g., for symmetric matrix types like -2 one needs to pass only the upper triangular part of the matrix). 
In case you get no new insight into the problem, please share with us a reproducer.

Best,
Kirill

Thank you very much. You are absolutely right.

With help of iparm[26]=1 the problem was solved.

Alexey.
