MatICCFactorSymbolic#

Performs symbolic incomplete Cholesky factorization for a symmetric matrix. Use MatCholeskyFactorNumeric() to complete the factorization.

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode MatICCFactorSymbolic(Mat fact, Mat mat, IS perm, const MatFactorInfo *info)


Collective on fact

Input Parameters#

• fact - the factorized matrix obtained with MatGetFactor()

• mat - the matrix to be factored

• perm - row and column permutation

• info - structure containing

levels - number of levels of fill.

expected fill - as ratio of original fill.


Output Parameter#

• fact - the factored matrix

Notes#

Most users should employ the KSP interface for linear solvers instead of working directly with matrix algebra routines such as this. See, e.g., KSPCreate().

This uses the definition of level of fill as in Y. Saad, 2003

Developer Note#

The Fortran interface is not autogenerated as the interface definition cannot be generated correctly [due to MatFactorInfo]
