3.4 GMRES<br />
The Generalized Minimal RESidual (GMRES) method is a very well known algorithm for solving<br />
linear systems of consi<strong>de</strong>rable size. It was proposed by Saad and Schultz in 1986 [83] in<br />
or<strong>de</strong>r to solve large, sparse and non Hermitian linear systems. GMRES belongs to the class of<br />
Krylov based iterative methods and is composed by the procedures <strong>de</strong>scribed in the previous<br />
sections. Fig. 3.7 shows a scheme in which the GMRES method is summarized.<br />

Figure 3.7: The GMRES Algorithm<br />
GMRES has been chosen to solve the problem of Eq. (3.9) due to its portability, simplicity,<br />
flexibility and efficiency. It is important to emphasize that the fact that GMRES belongs to the<br />
class of Krylov based iterative methods and allows to solve the linear system by using only<br />
matrix-vector products instead of storing the full matrix A.
