MatGetFactorAvailable#

Returns a flag if matrix supports particular type and factor type

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatGetFactorAvailable(Mat mat, MatSolverType type, MatFactorType ftype, PetscBool *flg)

Not Collective

Input Parameters#

Output Parameter#

  • flg - PETSC_TRUE if the factorization is available

Notes#

Some PETSc matrix formats have alternative solvers available that are contained in alternative packages such as pastix, superlu, mumps etc.

PETSc must have been ./configure to use the external solver, using the option –download-package

Developer Note#

This should actually be called MatCreateFactorAvailable() since MatGetFactor() creates a new factor object
