# MatIsSymmetric

Test whether a matrix is symmetric

### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatIsSymmetric(Mat A,PetscReal tol,PetscBool  *flg)

Collective on Mat

### Input Parameter

| A | - the matrix to test
| tol | - difference between value and its transpose less than this amount counts as equal (use 0.0 for exact transpose)

### Output Parameters

| flg | - the result

### Notes

For real numbers MatIsSymmetric() and MatIsHermitian() return identical results
