# PCMGSetGalerkin

Causes the coarser grid matrices to be computed from the finest grid via the Galerkin process: A_i-1 = r_i * A_i * p_i

## Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    PetscErrorCode PCMGSetGalerkin(PC pc, PCMGGalerkinType use)

Logically Collective

## Input Parameters

- pc - the multigrid context

- use - one of `PC_MG_GALERKIN_BOTH`, `PC_MG_GALERKIN_PMAT`, `PC_MG_GALERKIN_MAT`, or `PC_MG_GALERKIN_NONE`

## Options Database Key

- -pc_mg_galerkin <both,pmat,mat,none> - set the matrices to form via the Galerkin process

## Note

Some codes that use `PCMG` such as `PCGAMG` use Galerkin internally while constructing the hierarchy and thus do not use the `PCMG` construction of the coarser grids.
