# PCHYPRESetAlphaPoissonMatrix
Set vector Poisson matrix for `PCHYPRE` of type ams 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCHYPRESetAlphaPoissonMatrix(PC pc, Mat A)
```
Collective on pc


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioning context
- ***A -*** the matrix





## Note
A should be obtained by discretizing the vector valued Poisson problem with linear finite elements


## Developer Note
This automatically converts the matrix to `MATHYPRE` if it is not already of that type

If this is only for  `PCHYPRE` type of ams it should be called `PCHYPREAMSSetAlphaPoissonMatrix()`


## See Also
 `PCHYPRE`, `PCHYPRESetDiscreteGradient()`, `PCHYPRESetDiscreteCurl()`, `PCHYPRESetBetaPoissonMatrix()`

## Level
intermediate
