# MATAIJSELL

“AIJSELL” - A matrix type to be used for sparse matrices. This matrix type is identical to `MATSEQAIJSELL` when constructed with a single process communicator, and `MATMPIAIJSELL` otherwise. As a result, for single process communicators, MatSeqAIJSetPreallocation() is supported, and similarly `MatMPIAIJSetPreallocation()` is supported for communicators controlling multiple processes. It is recommended that you call both of the above preallocation routines for simplicity.

## Options Database Key
