# PCShellSetApplyRichardson
Sets routine to use as preconditioner in Richardson iteration.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h"
PetscErrorCode PCShellSetApplyRichardson(PC pc, PetscErrorCode (*apply)(PC, Vec, Vec, Vec, PetscReal, PetscReal, PetscReal, PetscInt, PetscBool, PetscInt *, PCRichardsonConvergedReason *))
```
Logically Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***apply -*** the application-provided preconditioning routine
## Calling sequence of `apply`
```none
PetscErrorCode apply(PC pc, Vec b, Vec x, Vec r, PetscReal rtol, PetscReal abstol, PetscReal dtol, PetscInt maxits)
```
- ***pc -*** the preconditioner, get the application context with `PCShellGetContext()`
- ***b -*** right-hand-side
- ***x -*** current iterate
- ***r -*** work space
- ***rtol -*** relative tolerance of residual norm to stop at
- ***abstol -*** absolute tolerance of residual norm to stop at
- ***dtol -*** if residual norm increases by this factor than return
- ***maxits -*** number of iterations to run
