# KSPLGMRES

Augments the standard GMRES approximation space with approximations to the error from previous restart cycles.

### Options Database Keys

| -ksp_gmres_restart <restart> | - total approximation space size (Krylov directions + error approximations)
| -ksp_gmres_haptol <tol> | - sets the tolerance for "happy ending" (exact convergence)
| -ksp_gmres_preallocate | - preallocate all the Krylov search directions initially (otherwise groups of vectors are allocated as needed)
| -ksp_gmres_classicalgramschmidt | - use classical (unmodified) Gram-Schmidt to orthogonalize against the Krylov space (fast) (the default)
| -ksp_gmres_modifiedgramschmidt | - use modified Gram-Schmidt in the orthogonalization (more stable, but slower)
| -ksp_gmres_cgs_refinement_type <never,ifneeded,always> | - determine if iterative refinement is used to increase the stability of the classical Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization.
| -ksp_gmres_krylov_monitor | - plot the Krylov space generated
| -ksp_lgmres_augment <k> | - number of error approximations to augment the Krylov space with
| -ksp_lgmres_constant | - use a constant approx. space size (only affects restart cycles < num. error approx.(k), i.e. the first k restarts)

### To run LGMRES(m, k) as described in the above paper, use

-ksp_gmres_restart <m+k> -ksp_lgmres_augment <k>

Notes: Supports both left and right preconditioning, but not symmetric.
