# PCJACOBI

Jacobi (i.e. diagonal scaling preconditioning)

### Options Database Key

| -pc_jacobi_rowmax | - use the maximum absolute value in each row as the scaling factor, rather than the diagonal
| -pc_jacobi_rowsum | - use the row sums as the scaling factor, rather than the diagonal
| -pc_jacobi_abs | - use the absolute value of the diagaonl entry

Notes: By using KSPSetPCSide(ksp,PC_SYMMETRIC) or -ksp_pc_side symmetric can scale each side of the matrix by the squareroot of the diagonal entries.

Zero entries along the diagonal are replaced with the value 1.0
