### Synopsis

    #include "slepcpep.h"
    PetscErrorCode PEPSetScale(PEP pep,PEPScale scale,PetscReal alpha,Vec Dl,Vec Dr,PetscInt its,PetscReal lambda)

Collective

### Input Parameters

| pep | - the eigensolver context
| scale | - scaling strategy
| alpha | - the scaling factor used in the scalar strategy
| Dl | - the left diagonal matrix of the diagonal scaling algorithm
| Dr | - the right diagonal matrix of the diagonal scaling algorithm
| its | - number of iterations of the diagonal scaling algorithm
| lambda | - approximation to wanted eigenvalues (modulus)

### Options Database Keys

| -pep_scale <type> | - scaling type, one of <none,scalar,diagonal,both>
| -pep_scale_factor <alpha> | - the scaling factor
| -pep_scale_its <its> | - number of iterations
| -pep_scale_lambda <lambda> | - approximation to eigenvalues

### Notes

There are two non-exclusive scaling strategies, scalar and diagonal.

In the scalar strategy, scaling is applied to the eigenvalue, that is, mu = lambda/alpha is the new eigenvalue and all matrices are scaled accordingly. After solving the scaled problem, the original lambda is recovered. Parameter 'alpha' must be positive. Use PETSC_DEFAULT to let the solver compute a reasonable scaling factor.

In the diagonal strategy, the solver works implicitly with matrix Dl*A*Dr, where Dl and Dr are appropriate diagonal matrices. This improves the accuracy of the computed results in some cases. The user may provide the Dr and Dl matrices represented as Vec objects storing diagonal elements. If not provided, these matrices are computed internally. This option requires that the polynomial coefficient matrices are of MATAIJ type. The parameter 'its' is the number of iterations performed by the method. Parameter 'lambda' must be positive. Use PETSC_DEFAULT or set lambda = 1.0 if no information about eigenvalues is available.
