# MatInvertVariableBlockDiagonal

Inverts the point block diagonal entries.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatInvertVariableBlockDiagonal(Mat mat, PetscInt nblocks, const PetscInt bsizes[], PetscScalar values[])

Collective; No Fortran Support

## Input Parameters

- mat - the matrix

- nblocks - the number of blocks on the process, set with `MatSetVariableBlockSizes()`

- bsizes - the size of each block on the process, set with `MatSetVariableBlockSizes()`

## Output Parameter

- values - the block inverses in column major order (FORTRAN-like)

## Notes

Use `MatInvertBlockDiagonal()` if all blocks have the same size

The blocks never overlap between two MPI processes, use `MatInvertVariableBlockEnvelope()` for that case
