KSPGMRES

Implements the Generalized Minimal Residual method. (Saad and Schultz, 1986) with restart

Options Database Keys

-ksp_gmres_restart <restart> - the number of Krylov directions to orthogonalize against
-ksp_gmres_haptol <tol> - sets the tolerance for "happy ending" (exact convergence)
-ksp_gmres_preallocate - preallocate all the Krylov search directions initially (otherwise groups of vectors are allocated as needed)
-ksp_gmres_classicalgramschmidt - use classical (unmodified) Gram-Schmidt to orthogonalize against the Krylov space (fast) (the default)
-ksp_gmres_modifiedgramschmidt - use modified Gram-Schmidt in the orthogonalization (more stable, but slower)
-ksp_gmres_cgs_refinement_type <never,ifneeded,always> - determine if iterative refinement is used to increase the stability of the classical Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization.
-ksp_gmres_krylov_monitor - plot the Krylov space generated

Notes

Left and right preconditioning are supported, but not symmetric preconditioning.
