Hi,
I was trying to use LSQR algorithm for solving a least squares problem of
size 2683x1274. I notice that if I allow the iterative method to run for a
large number of iterations
after it has converged (i.e. output of -ksp_monitor KSPresidualnorm seems
constant upto the 4th digit) , some numbers in the answer vector seem to get
inordinately large.
I seem to get my answer comparable to Matlab after 951 iterations, but when
I increase the number of iterations to 10000 some numbers seem very large.
Is this expected? Also, how do I terminate my iteration when my residual
norm seems constant?
Thanks
