[petsc-users] Does PETSc have some functions like A.*B, A./B in Matlab?

[Yujie]

I need do it for many. Actually, we don't consider a vector. Generally, if A
is dense matrix (nonzero entries) and B is sparse matrix, MatGetRow()
doesn't work when doing A.*B or A./B directly, right?
Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Yujie
