Starting guess for the solution. shift : float Value to apply to the system ``(A - shift * I)x = b``. Default is 0. rtol : float Tolerance to achieve. The algorithm terminates when the relative residual is below ``rtol``. maxiter : integer Maximum number of iterations. Iteration will stop after maxiter steps even if the specified tolerance has not been achieved. M : {sparse array, ndarray, LinearOperator} Preconditioner for A. The preconditioner should approximate the inverse of A. Effective preconditioning dramatically improves the rate of convergence, which implies that fewer iterations are needed to reach a given error tolerance. callback : function User-supplied function to call after each iteration. It is called as callback(xk), where xk is the current solution vector. show : bool If ``True``, print out a summary and metrics related to the solution during iterations. Default is ``False``. check : bool If ``True``, run additional input validation to check that `A` and `M` (if specified) are symmetric. Default is ``False``. Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy.sparse import csc_array >>> from scipy.sparse.linalg import minres >>> A = csc_array([[3, 2, 0], [1, -1, 0], [0, 5, 1]], dtype=float) >>> A = A + A.T >>> b = np.array([2, 4, -1], dtype=float) >>> x, exitCode = minres(A, b) >>> print(exitCode) # 0 indicates successful convergence 0 >>> np.allclose(A.dot(x), b) True References ---------- Solution of sparse indefinite systems of linear equations, C.
