Abstract

To design a conjugate-gradient type method for a given linear system one has to choose an inner product space and to compute residual polynomials which minimize the induced norm. Here we propose a unified treatment of this approach for symmetric linear systems. We mainly focus on indefinite and/or inconsistent systems.
