# PCGAMGSetReuseInterpolation
Reuse prolongation when rebuilding a `PCGAMG` algebraic multigrid preconditioner 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCGAMGSetReuseInterpolation(PC pc, PetscBool n)
```
Collective on pc


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***n -*** `PETSC_TRUE` or `PETSC_FALSE`



## Options Database Key

- ***-pc_gamg_reuse_interpolation <true,false> -*** reuse the previous interpolation





## Note
May negatively affect the convergence rate of the method on new matrices if the matrix entries change a great deal, but allows
rebuilding the preconditioner quicker.
