\section{Iterative Methods}
\label{sec:methods}

In this chapter we provide routines for preconditioners and iterative
methods. Their
interfaces are defined in the module \verb|psb_methd_mod|

\subroutine{psb\_cg \label{cg}}{CG Iterative Method}

This subroutine implements the CG method with restarting. The
stopping criterion is the normwise backward error, in the infinity
norm, i.e. the iteration is stopped when 
\[ \frac{\|r\|}{(\|A\|\|x\|+\|b\|)} < eps \]
or
\[ \frac{\|r_i\|}{\|b\|_2} < eps \]
according to the value passed through the  istop argument (see later).
