MatSetNearNullSpace#

attaches a null space to a matrix, which is often the null space (rigid body modes) of the operator without boundary conditions This null space will be used to provide near null space vectors to a multigrid preconditioner built from this matrix.

Synopsis#

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatSetNearNullSpace(Mat mat, MatNullSpace nullsp)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

  • mat - the matrix

  • nullsp - the null space object

Notes#

Overwrites any previous near null space that may have been attached

You can remove the null space by calling this routine with an nullsp of NULL
