Detailed Description

template<typename VectorType = Vector<double>>
class SolverBicgstab< VectorType >

Bicgstab algorithm by van der Vorst.

For the requirements on matrices and vectors in order to work with this class, see the documentation of the Solver base class.

Like all other solver classes, this class has a local structure called AdditionalData which is used to pass additional parameters to the solver, like damping parameters or the number of temporary vectors. We use this additional structure instead of passing these values directly to the constructor because this makes the use of the SolverSelector and other classes much easier and guarantees that these will continue to work even if number or type of the additional parameters for a certain solver changes.

The Bicgstab-method has two additional parameters: the first is a boolean, deciding whether to compute the actual residual in each step (true) or to use the length of the computed orthogonal residual (false). Note that computing the residual causes a third matrix-vector-multiplication, though no additional preconditioning, in each step. The reason for doing this is, that the size of the orthogonalized residual computed during the iteration may be larger by orders of magnitude than the true residual. This is due to numerical instabilities related to badly conditioned matrices. Since this instability results in a bad stopping criterion, the default for this parameter is true. Whenever the user knows that the estimated residual works reasonably as well, the flag should be set to false in order to increase the performance of the solver.

The second parameter is the size of a breakdown criterion. It is difficult to find a general good criterion, so if things do not work for you, try to change this value.

Observing the progress of linear solver iterations

The solve() function of this class uses the mechanism described in the Solver base class to determine convergence. This mechanism can also be used to observe the progress of the iteration.
