# MATSEQAIJ
MATSEQAIJ = "seqaij" - A matrix type to be used for sequential sparse matrices, based on compressed sparse row format. 
## Options Database Keys

- ***-mat_type seqaij -*** sets the matrix type to "seqaij" during a call to MatSetFromOptions()





## Notes
`MatSetValues()` may be called for this matrix type with a NULL argument for the numerical values,
in this case the values associated with the rows and columns one passes in are set to zero
in the matrix

`MatSetOptions`(,`MAT_STRUCTURE_ONLY`,`PETSC_TRUE`) may be called for this matrix type. In this no
space is allocated for the nonzero entries and any entries passed with `MatSetValues()` are ignored


## Developer Note
It would be nice if all matrix formats supported passing NULL in for the numerical values
