MatCreateNormal#

Creates a new MATNORMAL matrix object that behaves like A’*A.

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatCreateNormal(Mat A, Mat *N)

Collective

Input Parameter#

  • A - the (possibly rectangular) matrix

Output Parameter#

  • N - the matrix that represents A’*A

Notes#

The product A’*A is NOT actually formed! Rather the new matrix object performs the matrix-vector product, MatMult(), by first multiplying by A and then A’
