<div> I am a little puzzled about the "How can I determine the condition number of a matrix?" in the</div>
<div>FAQ. The details are as follows:<br> <br> "...For larger matrices, you can run with <em>-pc_type none -ksp_type gmres -ksp_monitor_singular_value </em></div>
<div><em>-ksp_gmres_restart 1000</em> to get approximations to the condition number of the operator. This will </div>
<div>generally be accurate for the largest singular values, but may overestimate the smallest singular </div>
<div>value unless the method has converged. Make sure to avoid restarts...".<br> <br> Since the command "<em>-pc_type none -ksp_type gmres -ksp_monitor_singular_value</em> </div>
<div><em>-ksp_gmres_restart 1000</em>" using restart parameter, so, what does "Make sure to avoid restarts" mean?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Do not believe the answer after the restart.</div>

<div>Besides, is the parameter "<em>1000</em>" a reference value which will be changed in specific project in order</div>

<div>>The Ritz values are estimates of the eigenvalues that you can obtain using KSPSolve() with ->ksp_compute_eigenvalues or -ksp_plot_eigenvalues. Note that these are estimates for the _preconditioned_ >operator, so you should use -pc_type none if you want estimates for the original operator.</div>
