MatILUFactorSymbolic

 Performs symbolic ILU factorization of a matrix. Uses levels of fill only, not drop tolerance. Use MatLUFactorNumeric() to complete the factorization.

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatILUFactorSymbolic(Mat fact,Mat mat,IS row,IS col,const MatFactorInfo *info)
Collective on Mat

Input Parameters

mat - the matrix
row - row permutation
column - column permutation
info - structure containing 
     levels - number of levels of fill.

     expected fill - as ratio of original fill.

     1 or 0 - indicating force fill on diagonal (improves robustness for matrices
missing diagonal entries)

Output Parameters

fact -new matrix that has been symbolically factored

Notes: See Users-Manual: ch_mat for additional information about choosing the fill factor for better efficiency.

Most users should employ the simplified KSP interface for linear solvers instead of working directly with matrix algebra routines such as this. See, e.g., KSPCreate().

Developer Note: fortran interface is not autogenerated as the f90 interface defintion cannot be generated correctly [due to MatFactorInfo]
