# BVTensorGetFactors

Returns the two factors involved in the definition of the tensor basis vectors object, V = (I otimes U) S.

### Synopsis

    #include "slepcbv.h"
    PetscErrorCode BVTensorGetFactors(BV V,BV *U,Mat *S)

Logically Collective

### Input Parameter

| V | - the basis vectors context

### Output Parameters

| U | - the BV factor
| S | - the Mat factor

### Notes

The returned factors are references (not copies) of the internal factors, so modifying them will change the tensor BV as well. Some operations of the tensor BV assume that U has orthonormal columns, so if the user modifies U this restriction must be taken into account.

The returned factors must not be destroyed. BVTensorRestoreFactors() must be called when they are no longer needed.

Pass a NULL vector for any of the arguments that is not needed.
