MatIsHermitian#
Test whether a matrix is Hermitian
Synopsis#
#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode MatIsHermitian(Mat A, PetscReal tol, PetscBool *flg)
Collective
Input Parameters#
A - the matrix to test
tol - difference between value and its transpose less than this amount counts as equal (use 0.0 for exact Hermitian)
Output Parameter#
flg - the result
Notes#
For real numbers MatIsSymmetric() and MatIsHermitian() return identical results
If the matrix does not yet know if it is Hermitian or not this can be an expensive operation, also available MatIsHermitianKnown()
One can declare that a matrix is Hermitian with MatSetOption(mat,MAT_HERMITIAN,PETSC_TRUE) and if it is known to remain Hermitian
after changes to the matrices values one can call MatSetOption(mat,MAT_SYMEMTRY_ETERNAL,PETSC_TRUE)
