# KSPSolveTranspose
Solves a linear system with the transposed matrix. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPSolveTranspose(KSP ksp, Vec b, Vec x)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ksp -*** iterative context obtained from `KSPCreate()`
- ***b -*** right hand side vector
- ***x -*** solution vector



## Notes
For complex numbers this solve the non-Hermitian transpose system.




## Developer Notes
We need to implement a `KSPSolveHermitianTranspose()`
