### Constructor Detail

#### IterativeLinearSolverEvent

    public IterativeLinearSolverEvent(Object source,
                              int iterations)

Creates a new instance of this class.

Parameters:
  `source` - the iterative algorithm on which the event initially occurred
  `iterations` - the number of iterations performed at the time `this` event is created

### Method Detail

#### getRightHandSideVector

    public abstract RealVector getRightHandSideVector()

Returns the current right-hand side of the linear system to be solved. This method should return an unmodifiable view, or a deep copy of the actual right-hand side vector, in order not to compromise subsequent iterations of the source `IterativeLinearSolver`.

Returns:
  the right-hand side vector, b

#### getNormOfResidual

    public abstract double getNormOfResidual()

Returns the norm of the residual. The returned value is not required to be exact. Instead, the norm of the so-called updated residual (if available) should be returned. For example, the `conjugate gradient` method computes a sequence of residuals, the norm of which is cheap to compute. However, due to accumulation of round-off errors, this residual might differ from the true residual after some iterations. See e.g. A. Greenbaum and Z. Strakos, Predicting the Behavior of Finite Precision Lanzos and Conjugate Gradient Computations, Technical Report 538, Department of Computer Science, New York University, 1991 (available here).

Returns:
  the norm of the residual, ||r||

#### getResidual

    public RealVector getResidual()

Returns the residual. This is an optional operation, as all iterative linear solvers do not provide cheap estimate of the updated residual vector, in which case

- this method should throw a `MathUnsupportedOperationException`,
- `providesResidual()` returns `false`.

The default implementation throws a `MathUnsupportedOperationException`. If this method is overriden, then `providesResidual()` should be overriden as well.

Returns:
  the updated residual, r

#### getSolution

    public abstract RealVector getSolution()

Returns the current estimate of the solution to the linear system to be solved. This method should return an unmodifiable view, or a deep copy of the actual current solution, in order not to compromise subsequent iterations of the source `IterativeLinearSolver`.

Returns:
  the solution, x

#### providesResidual

    public boolean providesResidual()

Returns `true` if `getResidual()` is supported. The default implementation returns `false`.

Returns:
  `false` if `getResidual()` throws a `MathUnsupportedOperationException`
