GMRES

GMRES (Generalized Minimal Residual) is an iterative method for solving large sparse non-symmetric or nonsymmetric linear systems Ax = b, developed by Saad and Schultz in 1986. It builds an orthonormal Krylov basis using Arnoldi's method and solves a least-squares problem to minimize residual at each iteration.
