# PCFieldSplitSetGKBDelay
Sets the delay in the lower bound error estimate in the generalized Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization in `PCFIELDSPLIT` preconditioner.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h"
PetscErrorCode PCFieldSplitSetGKBDelay(PC pc, PetscInt delay)
```
Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***delay -*** the delay window in the lower bound estimate
## Options Database Key
- ***-pc_fieldsplit_gkb_delay -*** default is 5
## Note
The algorithm uses a lower bound estimate of the error in energy norm as stopping criterion. The lower bound of the error ||u-u^k||_H
is expressed as a truncated sum. The error at iteration k can only be measured at iteration (k + delay), and thus the algorithm needs
at least (delay + 1) iterations to stop. For more details on the generalized Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization method and its lower bound stopping criterion, please refer to
