# KSPSetComputeSingularValues

Sets a flag so that the extreme singular values will be calculated via a Lanczos or Arnoldi process as the linear system is solved.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscksp.h"
    PetscErrorCode PETSCKSP_DLLEXPORT KSPSetComputeSingularValues(KSP ksp,PetscTruth flg)

Collective on KSP

### Input Parameters

| ksp | - iterative context obtained from KSPCreate()
| flg | - PETSC_TRUE or PETSC_FALSE

### Options Database Key

-ksp_monitor_singular_value -Activates KSPSetComputeSingularValues()

### Notes

Currently this option is not valid for all iterative methods.

Many users may just want to use the monitoring routine KSPMonitorSingularValue() (which can be set with option -ksp_monitor_singular_value) to print the singular values at each iteration of the linear solve.
