MatDuplicateOption#

Indicates if a duplicated sparse matrix should have its numerical values copied over or just its nonzero structure.

Synopsis#

typedef enum {
  MAT_DO_NOT_COPY_VALUES,
  MAT_COPY_VALUES,
  MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN
} MatDuplicateOption;

Any additions/changes here MUST also be made in include/petsc/finclude/petscmat.h

`MAT_DO_NOT_COPY_VALUES`    - Create a matrix using the same nonzero pattern as the original matrix,

with zeros for the numerical values.

`MAT_COPY_VALUES`           - Create a matrix with the same nonzero pattern as the original matrix

and with the same numerical values.

`MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN` - Create a matrix that shares the nonzero structure with the previous matrix

and does not copy it, using zeros for the numerical values. The parent and

child matrices will share their index (i and j) arrays, and you cannot

insert new nonzero entries into either matrix.

Note#

Many matrix types (including MATSEQAIJ) do not support the MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN optimization; in this case the behavior is as if MAT_DO_NOT_COPY_VALUES has been specified.
