# MatLMVMAllocate
Produces all necessary common memory for LMVM approximations based on the solution and function vectors provided. If `MatSetSizes()` and `MatSetUp()` have not been called before `MatLMVMAllocate()`, the allocation will read sizes from the provided vectors and update the matrix. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatLMVMAllocate(Mat B, Vec X, Vec F)
```

## Input Parameters

- ***B -*** An LMVM-type matrix
- ***X -*** Solution vector
- ***F -*** Function vector
