VecWAXPY#

Computes w = alpha x + y.

Synopsis#

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecWAXPY(Vec w, PetscScalar alpha, Vec x, Vec y)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

  • alpha - the scalar

  • x - first vector, multiplied by alpha

  • y - second vector

Output Parameter#

  • w - the result

Note#

w cannot be either x or y, but x and y can be the same

Developer Notes#

The implementation is optimized for alpha of -1.0, 0.0, and 1.0
