# MatSetTransposeNullSpace
attaches the null space of a transpose of a matrix to the matrix 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatSetTransposeNullSpace(Mat mat, MatNullSpace nullsp)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***mat -*** the matrix
- ***nullsp -*** the null space object





## Notes
This allows solving singular linear systems defined by the transpose of the matrix using `KSP` solvers with left preconditioning.

See `MatSetNullSpace()`
