MatLUFactorSymbolic

Performs symbolic LU factorization of matrix. Call this routine before calling MatLUFactorNumeric().

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatLUFactorSymbolic(Mat fact,Mat mat,IS row,IS col,const MatFactorInfo *info)
Collective on Mat Many br

Input Parameters

fact - the factor matrix obtained with MatGetFactor() Many br
mat - the matrix Many br
row, col - row and column permutations Many br
info - options for factorization, includes Many br
         fill - expected fill as ratio of original fill.
         dtcol - pivot tolerance (0 no pivot, 1 full column pivoting)
                  Run with the option -info to determine an optimal value to use

Notes: See Users-Manual: ch_mat for additional information about choosing the fill factor for better efficiency. 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
