MatSetValuesBlockedStencil

 Inserts or adds a block of values into a matrix. Using structured grid indexing

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode  MatSetValuesBlockedStencil(Mat mat,PetscInt m,const MatStencil idxm[],PetscInt n,const MatStencil idxn[],const PetscScalar v[],InsertMode addv)
Not Collective

Input Parameters

mat - the matrix
m - number of rows being entered
idxm - grid coordinates for matrix rows being entered
n - number of columns being entered
idxn - grid coordinates for matrix columns being entered
v - a logically two-dimensional array of values
addv - either ADD_VALUES or INSERT_VALUES, where ADD_VALUES adds values to any existing entries, and INSERT_VALUES replaces existing entries with new values

Notes

By default the values, v, are row-oriented and unsorted. See MatSetOption() for other options.

Calls to MatSetValuesBlockedStencil() with the INSERT_VALUES and ADD_VALUES options cannot be mixed without intervening calls to the assembly routines.

The grid coordinates are across the entire grid, not just the local portion

MatSetValuesBlockedStencil() uses 0-based row and column numbers in Fortran as well as in C.

For setting/accessing vector values via array coordinates you can use the DMDAVecGetArray() routine

In order to use this routine you must either obtain the matrix with DMCreateMatrix() or call MatSetBlockSize(), MatSetLocalToGlobalMapping() and MatSetStencil() first.

The columns and rows in the stencil passed in MUST be contained within the ghost region of the given process as set with DMDACreateXXX() or MatSetStencil(). For example, if you create a DMDA with an overlap of one grid level and on a particular process its first local nonghost x logical coordinate is 6 (so its first ghost x logical coordinate is 5) the first i index you can use in your column and row indices in MatSetStencil() is 5.

In Fortran idxm and idxn should be declared as 

    MatStencil idxm(4,m),idxn(4,n)
and the values inserted using 
   idxm(MatStencil_i,1) = i

   idxm(MatStencil_j,1) = j

   idxm(MatStencil_k,1) = k
etc

Negative indices may be passed in idxm and idxn, these rows and columns are simply ignored. This allows easily inserting element stiffness matrices with homogeneous Dirchlet boundary conditions that you don't want represented in the matrix.

Inspired by the structured grid interface to the HYPRE package (http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/hypre)
