When using ASM with

IS array passed to PCASMSetLocalSubdomains()? I would be interested in
controlling this in order to build a downstream marching smoother.
PCASM is "Additive" rather than multiplicative so there is no order. Â PCFieldSplit includes multiplicative and symmetric-multiplicative variants, but each subdomain ("split" in this context) is global which exposes less concurrency (subdomains can be empty on some processes so this only affects performance, not which Schwarz-like algorithms are implementable).
