# MatCreateMPISBAIJWithArrays

creates a MPI SBAIJ matrix using arrays that contain in standard CSR format the local rows.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode  MatCreateMPISBAIJWithArrays(MPI_Comm comm,PetscInt bs,PetscInt m,PetscInt n,PetscInt M,PetscInt N,const PetscInt i[],const PetscInt j[],const PetscScalar a[],Mat *mat)

Collective on MPI_Comm

### Input Parameters

| comm | - MPI communicator
| bs | - the block size, only a block size of 1 is supported
| m | - number of local rows (Cannot be PETSC_DECIDE)
| n | - This value should be the same as the local size used in creating the x vector for the matrix-vector product y = Ax. (or PETSC_DECIDE to have calculated if N is given) For square matrices n is almost always m.
| M | - number of global rows (or PETSC_DETERMINE to have calculated if m is given)
| N | - number of global columns (or PETSC_DETERMINE to have calculated if n is given)
| i | - row indices
| j | - column indices
| a | - matrix values

### Output Parameter

mat -the matrix

### Notes

The i, j, and a arrays ARE copied by this routine into the internal format used by PETSc; thus you CANNOT change the matrix entries by changing the values of a[] after you have called this routine. Use MatCreateMPIAIJWithSplitArrays() to avoid needing to copy the arrays.

The i and j indices are 0 based, and i indices are indices corresponding to the local j array.

### Keywords

matrix, aij, compressed row, sparse, parallel
