# BVSetMatrix

Specifies the inner product to be used in orthogonalization.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepcbv.h"
    PetscErrorCode BVSetMatrix(BV bv,Mat B,PetscBool indef)

Collective on bv

### Input Parameters

| bv | - the basis vectors context
| B | - a symmetric matrix (may be NULL)
| indef | - a flag indicating if the matrix is indefinite

### Notes

This is used to specify a non-standard inner product, whose matrix representation is given by B. Then, all inner products required during orthogonalization are computed as (x,y)_B=y^H*B*x rather than the standard form (x,y)=y^H*x.

Matrix B must be real symmetric (or complex Hermitian). A genuine inner product requires that B is also positive (semi-)definite. However, we also allow for an indefinite B (setting indef=PETSC_TRUE), in which case the orthogonalization uses an indefinite inner product.

This affects operations BVDot(), BVNorm(), BVOrthogonalize(), and variants.

Setting B=NULL has the same effect as if the identity matrix was passed.
