## Class PreconditionedIterativeLinearSolver

• Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class PreconditionedIterativeLinearSolver
extends IterativeLinearSolver

This abstract class defines preconditioned iterative solvers. When A is ill-conditioned, instead of solving system A · x = b directly, it is preferable to solve either

(M · A) · x = M · b
(left preconditioning), or
(A · M) · y = b,     followed by M · y = x
(right preconditioning), where M approximates in some way A-1, while matrix-vector products of the type M · y remain comparatively easy to compute. In this library, M (not M-1!) is called the preconditionner.

Concrete implementations of this abstract class must be provided with the preconditioner M, as a RealLinearOperator.
