# MatAXPY
Computes Y = a*X + Y. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h"  
PetscErrorCode MatAXPY(Mat Y, PetscScalar a, Mat X, MatStructure str)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***a -*** the scalar multiplier
- ***X -*** the first matrix
- ***Y -*** the second matrix
- ***str -*** either `SAME_NONZERO_PATTERN`, `DIFFERENT_NONZERO_PATTERN`, `UNKNOWN_NONZERO_PATTERN`, or `SUBSET_NONZERO_PATTERN` (nonzeros of `X` is a subset of `Y`'s)
