# PCGAMGSetThresholdScale
Relative threshold reduction at each level 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCGAMGSetThresholdScale(PC pc, PetscReal v)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***scale -*** the threshold value reduction, usually < 1.0



## Options Database Key

- ***-pc_gamg_threshold_scale <v> -*** set the relative threshold reduction on each level





## Note
The initial threshold (for an arbitrary number of levels starting from the finest) can be set with `PCGAMGSetThreshold()`.
This scaling is used for each subsequent coarsening, but must be called before `PCGAMGSetThreshold()`.
