# KSPMonitorSingularValue
Prints the two norm of the true residual and estimation of the extreme singular values of the preconditioned problem at each iteration. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPMonitorSingularValue(KSP ksp, PetscInt n, PetscReal rnorm, PetscViewerAndFormat *vf)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ksp   -*** the iterative context
- ***n     -*** the iteration
- ***rnorm -*** the two norm of the residual
- ***vf    -*** The viewer context



## Options Database Key

- ***-ksp_monitor_singular_value -*** Activates `KSPMonitorSingularValue()`





## Notes
The `KSPCG` solver uses the Lanczos technique for eigenvalue computation,
while `KSPGMRES` uses the Arnoldi technique; other iterative methods do
not currently compute singular values.

This is not called directly by users, rather one calls `KSPMonitorSet()`, with this function as an argument, to cause the monitor
to be used during the `KSP` solve.

Call `KSPMonitorSingularValueCreate()` to create the context needed by this monitor
