# MATMPIAIJ

MATMPIAIJ = “mpiaij” - A matrix type to be used for parallel sparse matrices.

## Options Database Keys

- -mat_type mpiaij - sets the matrix type to `MATMPIAIJ` during a call to `MatSetFromOptions()`

## Notes

`MatSetValues()` may be called for this matrix type with a `NULL` argument for the numerical values, in this case the values associated with the rows and columns one passes in are set to zero in the matrix

`MatSetOptions`(,`MAT_STRUCTURE_ONLY`,`PETSC_TRUE`) may be called for this matrix type. In this no space is allocated for the nonzero entries and any entries passed with `MatSetValues()` are ignored
