# KSPComputeOperator

Computes the explicit preconditioned operator, including diagonal scaling and null space removal if applicable.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    PetscErrorCode KSPComputeOperator(KSP ksp, MatType mattype, Mat *mat)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- ksp - the Krylov subspace context

- mattype - the matrix type to be used

## Output Parameter

- mat - the explicit preconditioned operator

## Notes

This computation is done by applying the operators to columns of the identity matrix.

Currently, this routine uses a dense matrix format for the output operator if `mattype` is `NULL`. This routine is costly in general, and is recommended for use only with relatively small systems.
