-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

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.
