45 // This class implements the now classical Conjugate Gradients
46 // algorithm of Hestenes & Stiefel for solving postive semidefinite
47 // linear sytems. Optionally it can use a preconditioner also to
48 // reduce the condition number of the linear system and improve the
49 // convergence rate. Modern references for Conjugate Gradients are the
50 // books by Yousef Saad and Trefethen & Bau. This implementation of CG
51 // has been augmented with additional termination tests that are
52 // needed for forcing early termination when used as part of an
53 // inexact Newton solver.

56 // LinearSolver::PerSolveOptions::r_tolerance and
57 // LinearSolver::PerSolveOptions::q_tolerance in linear_solver.h.
