# BVMultColumn

Computes y = beta*y + alpha*X*q, where y is the j-th column of X.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepcbv.h"
    PetscErrorCode BVMultColumn(BV X,PetscScalar alpha,PetscScalar beta,PetscInt j,PetscScalar *q)

Logically Collective on BV

### Input Parameters

| X | - a basis vectors object
| alpha,beta | - scalars
| j | - the column index
| q | - an array of scalars

### Notes

This operation is equivalent to BVMultVec() but it uses column j of X rather than taking a Vec as an argument. The number of active columns of X is set to j before the computation, and restored afterwards. If X has leading columns specified, then these columns do not participate in the computation. Therefore, the length of array q must be equal to j minus the number of leading columns.
