# KSPDGMRES

Implements the deflated GMRES as defined in [1,2]. In this implementation, the adaptive strategy allows to switch to the deflated GMRES when the stagnation occurs.

### Options Database Keys

### GMRES Options (inherited)

| -ksp_gmres_restart <restart> | - the number of Krylov directions to orthogonalize against
| -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

### DGMRES Options Database Keys

| -ksp_dgmres_eigen <neig> | - number of smallest eigenvalues to extract at each restart
| -ksp_dgmres_max_eigen <max_neig> | - maximum number of eigenvalues that can be extracted during the iterative process
| -ksp_dgmres_force | - use the deflation at each restart; switch off the adaptive strategy.
| -ksp_dgmres_view_deflation_vecs <viewerspec> | - View the deflation vectors, where viewerspec is a key that can be parsed by PetscOptionsGetViewer(). If neig > 1, viewerspec should end with ":append". No vectors will be viewed if the adaptive strategy chooses not to deflate, so -ksp_dgmres_force should also be given. The deflation vectors span a subspace that may be a good approximation of the subspace of smallest eigenvectors of the preconditioned operator, so this option can aid in understanding the performance of a preconditioner.

Notes: Left and right preconditioning are supported, but not symmetric preconditioning. Complex arithmetic is not yet supported
