# SNESNGMRES
The Nonlinear Generalized Minimum Residual method. 


## Options Database Keys

- ***-snes_ngmres_select_type<difference,none,linesearch> -*** choose the select between candidate and combined solution
- ***-snes_ngmres_restart_type<difference,none,periodic> -*** choose the restart conditions
- ***-snes_ngmres_candidate        -*** Use `SNESNGMRES` variant which combines candidate solutions instead of actual solutions
- ***-snes_ngmres_m                -*** Number of stored previous solutions and residuals
- ***-snes_ngmres_restart_it       -*** Number of iterations the restart conditions hold before restart
- ***-snes_ngmres_gammaA           -*** Residual tolerance for solution select between the candidate and combination
- ***-snes_ngmres_gammaC           -*** Residual tolerance for restart
- ***-snes_ngmres_epsilonB         -*** Difference tolerance between subsequent solutions triggering restart
- ***-snes_ngmres_deltaB           -*** Difference tolerance between residuals triggering restart
- ***-snes_ngmres_restart_fm_rise  -*** Restart on residual rise from x_M step
- ***-snes_ngmres_monitor          -*** Prints relevant information about the ngmres iteration
- ***-snes_linesearch_type <basic,l2,cp> -*** Line search type used for the default smoother
- ***-additive_snes_linesearch_type -*** linesearch type used to select between the candidate and combined solution with additive select type



## Notes
The N-GMRES method combines m previous solutions into a minimum-residual solution by solving a small linearized
optimization problem at each iteration.

Very similar to the `SNESANDERSON` algorithm.
