# KSPGMRESClassicalGramSchmidtOrthogonalization

This is the basic orthogonalization routine using classical Gram-Schmidt with possible iterative refinement to improve the stability

## Synopsis

    PetscErrorCode KSPGMRESClassicalGramSchmidtOrthogonalization(KSP ksp, PetscInt it)

Collective, No Fortran Support

## Input Parameters

- ksp - `KSP` object, must be associated with `KSPGMRES`, `KSPFGMRES`, or `KSPLGMRES` Krylov method

- it - one less than the current GMRES restart iteration, i.e. the size of the Krylov space

## Options Database Keys

- -ksp_gmres_classicalgramschmidt - Activates `KSPGMRESClassicalGramSchmidtOrthogonalization()`

- -ksp_gmres_cgs_refinement_type <refine_never,refine_ifneeded,refine_always> - determine if iterative refinement is used to increase the stability of the classical Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization.

## Note

Use `KSPGMRESSetCGSRefinementType()` to determine if iterative refinement is to be used. This is much faster than `KSPGMRESModifiedGramSchmidtOrthogonalization()` but has the small possibility of stability issues that can usually be handled by using a single step of iterative refinement with `KSPGMRESSetCGSRefinementType()`
