typedef enum {MAT_DO_NOT_COPY_VALUES,MAT_COPY_VALUES,MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN} MatDuplicateOption;
Any additions/changes here MUST also be made in include/petsc/finclude/petscmat.h
MAT_DO_NOT_COPY_VALUES - Create a matrix using the same nonzero pattern as the original matrix,
with zeros for the numerical values.
MAT_COPY_VALUES - Create a matrix with the same nonzero pattern as the original matrix
and with the same numerical values.
MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN - Create a matrix that shares the nonzero structure with the previous matrix
and does not copy it, using zeros for the numerical values. The parent and
child matrices will share their index (i and j) arrays, and you cannot
insert new nonzero entries into either matrix.
Notes: Many matrix types (including SeqAIJ) do not support the MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN optimization; in this case the behavior is as if MAT_DO_NOT_COPY_VALUES has been specified.
