/*!\file:  IssmAbsMat.h
 * \brief Main abstract class for the ISSM matrices.  This abstract class defines the pure virtual
 * functions that each of its descendants need to implement, such as contructors, destructors, as well
 * as matrix specific routines, such as SetValue, Assemple, MatMult, etc ...
 * Descendants include among others:
 * IssmDenseMat and IssmMpiDenseMat
