[petsc-users] How to get values from a matrix and set again?

Hi,

I am trying to apply a function on each element of a matrix. The function
is the sigmoid function which transforms each element of the matrix.

I am trying to approach it like this but get error. What could be the
problem? Or is there a better way to do this?

int sigmoid(Mat x){
printf("in sigmoid\n");

PetscErrorCode ierr;
PetscInt       Istart, Iend, Ii, Ji, rows, cols;

PetscScalar     v = 0.0;
ierr = MatGetOwnershipRange(x,&Istart,&Iend);CHKERRQ(ierr);
MatGetSize(x,&rows,&cols);

for (Ii=Istart; Ii<Iend; Ii++) {
     for (Ji=0; Ji<cols; Ji++){
    ierr = MatGetValues(x,1,&Ii,1,&Ji,&v);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    v = mysigmoid(v);
    ierr = MatSetValues(x,1,&Ii,1,&Ji,&v,INSERT_VALUES);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    }
  }

MatAssemblyBegin(x,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);
MatAssemblyEnd(x,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);


MatView(x,PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD);
}


error msg is:

[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message
