VecStrideMin

Computes the minimum of subvector of a vector defined by a starting point and a stride and optionally its location.

Synopsis

#include "petscvec.h" 
PetscErrorCode  VecStrideMin(Vec v,PetscInt start,PetscInt *idex,PetscReal *nrm)
Collective on Vec Many br

Input Parameter

v - the vector Many br
start - starting point of the subvector (defined by a stride) Many br

Output Parameter

idex - the location where the minimum occurred. (pass NULL if not required) Many br
nrm - the minimum value in the subvector Many br

Many br

Notes

One must call VecSetBlockSize() before this routine to set the stride Many brinformation, or use a vector created from a multicomponent DMDA. Many br

If xa is the array representing the vector x, then this computes the min Many brof the array (xa[start],xa[start+stride],xa[start+2*stride], ....) Many br

This is useful for computing, say the minimum of the pressure variable when Many brthe pressure is stored (interlaced) with other variables, e.g., density, etc. Many brThis will only work if the desire subvector is a stride subvector. Many br
