PCLUSetColumnPivoting

Determines when column pivoting is done during LU. For PETSc dense matrices column pivoting is always done, for PETSc sparse matrices it is never done. For the Matlab factorization this is used.

Synopsis

#include "petscpc.h" 
int PCLUSetColumnPivoting(PC pc,PetscReal dtcol)
Collective on PC

Input Parameters

pc - the preconditioner context
dtcol - 0.0 implies no pivoting, 1.0 complete column pivoting (slower, requires more memory but more stable)
