# Part of the docstring common to all iterative solvers
common_doc1 = \
"""
Parameters
----------
A : {sparse matrix, dense matrix, LinearOperator}"""

common_doc2 = \
"""b : {array, matrix}
    Right hand side of the linear system. Has shape (N,) or (N,1).

Returns
-------
x : {array, matrix}
    The converged solution.
info : integer
    Provides convergence information:
        0  : successful exit
        >0 : convergence to tolerance not achieved, number of iterations
        <0 : illegal input or breakdown

Other Parameters
----------------
x0  : {array, matrix}
    Starting guess for the solution.
tol : float
    Tolerance to achieve. The algorithm terminates when either the relative
    or the absolute residual is below `tol`.
maxiter : integer
    Maximum number of iterations.  Iteration will stop after maxiter
    steps even if the specified tolerance has not been achieved.
M : {sparse matrix, dense matrix, 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.
xtype : {'f','d','F','D'}
    This parameter is deprecated -- avoid using it.

    The type of the result.  If None, then it will be determined from
    A.dtype.char and b.  If A does not have a typecode method then it
    will compute A.matvec(x0) to get a typecode.   To save the extra
    computation when A does not have a typecode attribute use xtype=0
    for the same type as b or use xtype='f','d','F',or 'D'.
    This parameter has been superseded by LinearOperator.

    """
    Use Generalized Minimal RESidual iteration to solve A x = b.

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : {sparse matrix, dense matrix, LinearOperator}
        The real or complex N-by-N matrix of the linear system.
    b : {array, matrix}
        Right hand side of the linear system. Has shape (N,) or (N,1).

    Returns
    -------
    x : {array, matrix}
        The converged solution.
    info : int
        Provides convergence information:
          * 0  : successful exit
          * >0 : convergence to tolerance not achieved, number of iterations
          * <0 : illegal input or breakdown

    Other parameters
    ----------------
    x0 : {array, matrix}
        Starting guess for the solution (a vector of zeros by default).
    tol : float
        Tolerance to achieve. The algorithm terminates when either the relative
        or the absolute residual is below `tol`.
    restart : int, optional
        Number of iterations between restarts. Larger values increase
        iteration cost, but may be necessary for convergence.
        Default is 20.
    maxiter : int, optional
        Maximum number of iterations (restart cycles).  Iteration will stop
        after maxiter steps even if the specified tolerance has not been
        achieved.
    xtype : {'f','d','F','D'}
        This parameter is DEPRECATED --- avoid using it.

        The type of the result.  If None, then it will be determined from
        A.dtype.char and b.  If A does not have a typecode method then it
        will compute A.matvec(x0) to get a typecode.   To save the extra
        computation when A does not have a typecode attribute use xtype=0
        for the same type as b or use xtype='f','d','F',or 'D'.
        This parameter has been superseded by LinearOperator.
    M : {sparse matrix, dense matrix, LinearOperator}
        Inverse of the preconditioner of A.  M should approximate the
        inverse of A and be easy to solve for (see Notes).  Effective
        preconditioning dramatically improves the rate of convergence,
        which implies that fewer iterations are needed to reach a given
        error tolerance.  By default, no preconditioner is used.
    callback : function
        User-supplied function to call after each iteration.  It is called
        as callback(rk), where rk is the current residual vector.
    restrt : int, optional
        DEPRECATED - use `restart` instead.

    --------
    LinearOperator

    Notes
    -----
    A preconditioner, P, is chosen such that P is close to A but easy to solve
    for. The preconditioner parameter required by this routine is
    ``M = P^-1``. The inverse should preferably not be calculated
    explicitly.  Rather, use the following template to produce M::

      # Construct a linear operator that computes P^-1 * x.
      import scipy.sparse.linalg as spla
      M_x = lambda x: spla.spsolve(P, x)
      M = spla.LinearOperator((n, n), M_x)
