# BVMatMult

Computes the matrix-vector product for each column, \(Y=AV\).

## Synopsis

    #include "slepcbv.h"
    PetscErrorCode BVMatMult(BV V,Mat A,BV Y)

Neighbor-wise Collective

## Input Parameters

- V - basis vectors context

- A - the matrix

## Output Parameter

- Y - the result

## Notes

Both `V` and `Y` must be distributed in the same manner. Only active columns (excluding the leading ones) are processed. In the result `Y`, columns are overwritten starting from the leading ones. The number of active columns in `V` and `Y` should match, although they need not be the same columns.

It is possible to choose whether the computation is done column by column or as a `Mat`-`Mat` product, see `BVSetMatMultMethod()`.
