MatForwardSolve#
Solves \( L x = b \), given a factored matrix, \(A = LU \), or \(U^T*D^(1/2) x = b\), given a factored symmetric matrix, \(A = U^T*D*U\),
Synopsis#
#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode MatForwardSolve(Mat mat, Vec b, Vec x)
Neighbor-wise Collective
Input Parameters#
mat - the factored matrix
b - the right-hand-side vector
Output Parameter#
x - the result vector
Notes#
MatSolve()
should be used for most applications, as it performs
a forward solve followed by a backward solve.
The vectors b
and x
cannot be the same, i.e., one cannot
call MatForwardSolve
(A,x,x).
For matrix in MATSEQBAIJ
format with block size larger than 1,
the diagonal blocks are not implemented as \(D = D^(1/2) * D^(1/2)\) yet.
MatForwardSolve()
solves \(U^T*D y = b\), and
MatBackwardSolve()
solves \(U x = y\).
Thus they do not provide a symmetric preconditioner.
