The FULL factorization is
<P>
<pre>
(A B) = (1 0) (A 0) (1 Ainv*B)
</pre>
<pre>
(C D) (C*Ainv 1) (0 S) (0 1 )
</pre>
<P>
where S = D - C*Ainv*B. In practice, the full factorization is applied via block triangular solves with the grouping L*(D*U). UPPER uses D*U, LOWER uses L*D,
and DIAG is the diagonal part with the sign of S flipped (because this makes the preconditioner positive definite for many formulations, thus allowing the use of <A HREF="../KSP/KSPMINRES.html#KSPMINRES">KSPMINRES</A>).
<P>
If applied exactly, FULL factorization is a direct solver. The preconditioned operator with LOWER or UPPER has all eigenvalues equal to 1 and minimal polynomial
of degree 2, so <A HREF="../KSP/KSPGMRES.html#KSPGMRES">KSPGMRES</A> converges in 2 iterations. If the iteration count is very low, consider using <A HREF="../KSP/KSPFGMRES.html#KSPFGMRES">KSPFGMRES</A> or <A HREF="../KSP/KSPGCR.html#KSPGCR">KSPGCR</A> which can use one less preconditioner
application in this case. Note that the preconditioned operator may be highly non-normal, so such fast convergence may not be observed in practice. With DIAG,
the preconditioned operator has three distinct nonzero eigenvalues and minimal polynomial of degree at most 4, so <A HREF="../KSP/KSPGMRES.html#KSPGMRES">KSPGMRES</A> converges in at most 4 iterations.
<P>
For symmetric problems in which A is positive definite and S is negative definite, DIAG can be used with <A HREF="../KSP/KSPMINRES.html#KSPMINRES">KSPMINRES</A>. Note that a flexible method like <A HREF="../KSP/KSPFGMRES.html#KSPFGMRES">KSPFGMRES</A>
or <A HREF="../KSP/KSPGCR.html#KSPGCR">KSPGCR</A> must be used if the fieldsplit preconditioner is nonlinear (e.g. a few iterations of a Krylov method is used inside a split).
