Conjugate gradient method

Conjugate gradient method could be summarized as follows

System of equation

For the given system of equation
Ax = b ;
b = source vector
x = solution variable for which we seek the solution
A = coefficient matrix

M = the precondioning matrix constructued by matrix A


Algorithm


Allocate temperary vectors p,z,q
Allocate temerary reals rho_0, rho_1 , alpha, beta

r := b - A\cdotx

for i := 1 step 1 until max_itr do
solve (M\cdotz = r )
beta := rho_0 / rho_1
p := z + beta\cdotp
q := A\bulletp
alpha = rho_0 / ( p\cdotq )
x := x + alpha\cdotp
r := r - alpha\cdotq
rho_1 = rho_0
end (i-loop)

deallocate all temp memory
return TRUE
