gmres: Generalized Minimal Residual Method

In pracma: Practical Numerical Math Functions

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.

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!)

Value

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

Author(s)

Based on Matlab code from C. T. Kelley's book, see references.
