PyKrylov Documentation¶

This is the general documentation for PyKrylov, a pure Python implementation of common Krylov methods for the solution of systems of linear equations. The aim of this document is to cover usage of the package and how it can serve to benchmark solvers or preconditioners. Because the framework is very general and does not concern any specific application, the style is light and examples keep things simple. This is intentional so users have as much freedom as possible in modifying the example scripts.

Some examples use the efficient Pysparse sparse matrix library to simulate functions that return matrix-vector products.
