Based on extensive research by Henk van der Vorst, this book presents an
overview of a number of Krylov projection methods for the solution of
linear systems of equations. Van der Vorst demonstrates how these
methods can be derived from basic iteration formulas and how they are
related. Focusing on the ideas behind the methods rather than a complete
presentation of the theory, the volume includes a substantial amount of
references for further reading as well as exercises to help students
initially encountering the material.
