gmres: Generalized Minimal Residual Method

Description

gmres(A,b) attempts to solve the system of linear equations A*x=b for x.

Usage

gmres(A, b, x0 = rep(0, length(b)), 
          errtol = 1e-6, kmax = length(b)+1, reorth = 1)

Arguments

A

square matrix.

b

numerical vector or column vector.

x0

initial iterate.

errtol

relative residual reduction factor.

kmax

maximum number of iterations

reorth

reorthogonalization method, see Details.

Value

• Returns a list with components x the solution, error the vector of residual norms, and niter the number of iterations.

Details

Iterative method for the numerical solution of a system of linear equations. The method approximates the solution by the vector in a Krylov subspace with minimal residual. The Arnoldi iteration is used to find this vector.

Reorthogonalization method: 1 -- Brown/Hindmarsh condition (default) 2 -- Never reorthogonalize (not recommended) 3 -- Always reorthogonalize (not cheap!)
