## Solve the linear system of equations
## @w{@code{@var{A} * @var{x} = @var{b}}}@ by means of the Bi-Conjugate
## Gradient iterative method.
##
## The input arguments are:
##
## @itemize
##
## @item @var{A} is the matrix of the linear system and it must be square.
## @var{A} can be passed as a matrix, function handle, or inline function
## @code{Afcn} such that @w{@code{Afcn (x, "notransp") = A * x}}@ and
## @w{@code{Afcn (x, "transp") = A' * x}}.  Additional parameters to
## @code{Afcn} may be passed after @var{x0}.
##
## @item @var{b} is the right-hand side vector.  It must be a column vector
## with the same number of rows as @var{A}.
##
## @item
## @var{tol} is the required relative tolerance for the residual error,
## @w{@code{@var{b} - @var{A} * @var{x}}}.  The iteration stops if
## @w{@code{norm (@var{b} - @var{A} * @var{x})} @leq{}
## @w{@code{@var{tol} * norm (@var{b})}}}.
## If @var{tol} is omitted or empty, then a tolerance of 1e-6 is used.
##
## @item
## @var{maxit} is the maximum allowed number of iterations; if @var{maxit}
## is omitted or empty then a value of 20 is used.
##
## @item
## @var{M1}, @var{M2} are the preconditioners.  The preconditioner @var{M} is
## given as @code{@var{M} = @var{M1} * @var{M2}}.  Both @var{M1} and @var{M2}
## can be passed as a matrix or as a function handle or inline function
## @code{g} such that
## @w{@code{g (@var{x}, "notransp") = @var{M1} \ @var{x}}}@ or
## @w{@code{g (@var{x}, "notransp") = @var{M2} \ @var{x}}}@ and
## @w{@code{g (@var{x}, "transp") = @var{M1}' \ @var{x}}}@ or
## @w{@code{g (@var{x}, "transp") = @var{M2}' \ @var{x}}}.
## If @var{M1} is omitted or empty, then preconditioning is not applied.
## The preconditioned system is theoretically equivalent to applying the
## @code{bicg} method to the linear system
## @code{inv (@var{M1}) * A * inv (@var{M2}) * @var{y} = inv
## (@var{M1}) * @var{b}} and
## @code{inv (@var{M2'}) * A' * inv (@var{M1'}) * @var{z} =
## inv (@var{M2'}) * @var{b}} and then setting
## @code{@var{x} = inv (@var{M2}) * @var{y}}.
##
## @item
## @var{x0} is the initial guess.  If @var{x0} is omitted or empty then the
## function sets @var{x0} to a zero vector by default.
## @end itemize
##
## Any arguments which follow @var{x0} are treated as parameters, and passed in
## an appropriate manner to any of the functions (@var{Afcn} or @var{Mfcn}) or
## that have been given to @code{bicg}.
##
## The output parameters are:
##
## @itemize
##
## @item
## @var{x} is the computed approximation to the solution of
## @w{@code{@var{A} * @var{x} = @var{b}}}.  If the algorithm did not converge,
## then @var{x} is the iteration which has the minimum residual.
##
## @item
## @var{flag} indicates the exit status:
##
## @itemize
## @item 0: The algorithm converged to within the prescribed tolerance.
##
## @item 1: The algorithm did not converge and it reached the maximum number of
## iterations.
##
## @item 2: The preconditioner matrix is singular.
##
## @item 3: The algorithm stagnated, i.e., the absolute value of the
## difference between the current iteration @var{x} and the previous is less
## than @code{eps * norm (@var{x},2)}.
##
## @item 4: The algorithm could not continue because intermediate values
## became too small or too large for reliable computation.
## @end itemize
##
## @item
## @var{relres} is the ratio of the final residual to its initial value,
## measured in the Euclidean norm.
##
## @item
## @var{iter} is the iteration which @var{x} is computed.
##
## @item
## @var{resvec} is a vector containing the residual at each iteration.
## The total number of iterations performed is given by
## @code{length (@var{resvec}) - 1}.
## @end itemize
