# VecAXPY

Computes y = alpha x + y.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscvec.h"
    PetscErrorCode  VecAXPY(Vec y,PetscScalar alpha,Vec x)

Logically Collective on Vec

### Input Parameters

| alpha | - the scalar
| x, y | - the vectors

### Output Parameter

y -output vector

### Notes

x and y MUST be different vectors This routine is optimized for alpha of 0.0, otherwise it calls the BLAS routine

       VecAXPY(y,alpha,x)                   y = alpha x           +      y

       VecAYPX(y,beta,x)                    y =       x           + beta y

       VecAXPBY(y,alpha,beta,x)             y = alpha x           + beta y

       VecWAXPY(w,alpha,x,y)                w = alpha x           +      y

       VecAXPBYPCZ(w,alpha,beta,gamma,x,y)  z = alpha x           + beta y + gamma z

       VecMAXPY(y,nv,alpha[],x[])           y = sum alpha[i] x[i] +      y
