PetscSectionCreateSubdomainSection#
Create a new, smaller section with support on a subdomain of the mesh
Synopsis#
#include "petscsection.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscSectionCreateSubdomainSection(PetscSection s, IS subpointMap, PetscSection *subs)
Collective
Input Parameters#
- s - the - PetscSection
- subpointMap - a sorted list of points in the original mesh which are in the subdomain 
Output Parameter#
- subs - the subsection 
Notes#
The point numbers remain the same as in the larger PetscSection, but the section offsets now refer to a new, smaller vector. The chart of subs
is [min(subpointMap),max(subpointMap)+1)
Compare this with PetscSectionCreateSubmeshSection() that maps the point numbers to start at zero
Developer Notes#
The use of the term Subdomain is unneeded and needs clarification, it is not specific to meshes. It appears to be just a subset of the chart of the original PetscSection
