Templates for the Solution of Linear Systems: Building Blocks for Iterative Methods
Algorithm-first reference presenting each iterative method — CG, GMRES, BiCG, QMR, Chebyshev — as compact pseudocode with notes on convergence, stopping criteria and preconditioner choice. Includes a flowchart for selecting a method from matrix properties.
An Introduction to the Conjugate Gradient Method Without the Agonizing Pain
A 64-page tutorial deriving Steepest Descent, Conjugate Directions and Conjugate Gradients from quadratic forms, with 66 figures. Uses eigenvector analysis to explain convergence rates, then extends to preconditioning and the nonlinear Conjugate Gradient method.
