# KSPSetInitialGuessNonzero

Tells the iterative solver that the initial guess is nonzero; otherwise KSP assumes the initial guess is to be zero (and thus zeros it out before solving).

### Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode  KSPSetInitialGuessNonzero(KSP ksp,PetscBool flg)

Logically Collective on ksp

### Input Parameters

| ksp | - iterative context obtained from KSPCreate()
| flg | - PETSC_TRUE indicates the guess is non-zero, PETSC_FALSE indicates the guess is zero

### Options database keys

| -ksp_initial_guess_nonzero : use nonzero initial guess; this takes an optional truth value (0/1/no/yes/true/false)

### Notes

If this is not called the X vector is zeroed in the call to KSPSolve().
