Minimal residual method

The Minimal Residual Method or MINRES is a Krylov subspace method for the iterative solution of symmetric linear equation systems. It was proposed by mathematicians Christopher Conway Paige and Michael Alan Saunders in 1975.

In contrast to the popular CG method, the MINRES method does not assume that the matrix is positive definite, only the symmetry of the matrix is mandatory.
