GMRESR and BiCGstab(ell)

Here you may find Fortran77 subroutines for the iterative methods GMRESR and BiCGstab(ell). These are methods for the iterative solution of large and typically sparse systems of linear equations with a nonsymmetric matrix. The methods have been introduced in the following papers:

H.A. Van der Vorst and C. Vuik, GMRESR: a Family of Nested GMRES Methods, Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Vol.1(4), pp. 369-386, 1994.
G.L.G. Sleijpen and D.R. Fokkema, BiCGstab(ell) for Linear Equations involving Unsymmetric Matrices with Complex Spectrum, ETNA, 1 (1993), pp. 11-32.

If you are a user of the Bi-CGSTAB iterative method, please note that BiCGstab(ell=1) will give you the Bi-CGSTAB algorithm. Moreover, this implementation is the so-called "vanilla version" of Bi-CGSTAB/BiCGstab(ell), i.e. it includes two recent important enhancements for improvement of stability and robustness:

G.L.G. Sleijpen and H.A. van der Vorst, Reliable updated residuals in hybrid Bi-CG methods, Computing 56 (1996), pp. 141-163.
