Performs in-place Cholesky factorization of a symmetric matrix.

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatCholeskyFactor(Mat mat,IS perm,const MatFactorInfo *info)
Collective on Mat Many br

Input Parameters

mat - the matrix Many br
perm - row and column permutations Many br

Notes

See MatLUFactor() for the nonsymmetric case. See also Many brMatCholeskyFactorSymbolic(), and MatCholeskyFactorNumeric(). Many br

Most users should employ the simplified KSP interface for linear solvers Many brinstead of working directly with matrix algebra routines such as this. Many brSee, e.g., KSPCreate(). Many br
