# KSPSetComputeOperators

set routine to compute the linear operators

### Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    PetscErrorCode KSPSetComputeOperators(KSP ksp,PetscErrorCode (*func)(KSP,Mat,Mat,void*),void *ctx)

Logically Collective

### Input Arguments

| ksp | - the KSP context
| func | - function to compute the operators
| ctx | - optional context

### Calling sequence of func

     func(KSP ksp,Mat A,Mat B,void *ctx)

| ksp | - the KSP context
| A | - the linear operator
| B | - preconditioning matrix
| ctx | - optional user-provided context

Notes: The user provided func() will be called automatically at the very next call to KSPSolve(). It will not be called at future KSPSolve() calls unless either KSPSetComputeOperators() or KSPSetOperators() is called before that KSPSolve() is called.

To reuse the same preconditioner for the next KSPSolve() and not compute a new one based on the most recently computed matrix call KSPSetReusePreconditioner()
