## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{x}, @var{flag}, @var{relres}, @var{iter}, @var{resvec}] =} pcr (@dots{})
## 
## Solves the linear system of equations @code{@var{a} * @var{x} =
## @var{b}} by means of the  Preconditioned Conjugate Residuals iterative
## method. The input arguments are
##
## @itemize
## @item
## @var{a} can be either a square (preferably sparse) matrix or a
## function handle, inline function or string containing the name
## of a function which computes @code{@var{a} * @var{x}}. In principle
## @var{a} should be symmetric and non-singular; if @code{pcr}
## finds @var{a} to be numerically singular, you will get a warning
## message and the @var{flag} output parameter will be set.
## 
## @item
## @var{b} is the right hand side vector.
## 
## @item
## @var{tol} is the required relative tolerance for the residual error,
## @code{@var{b} - @var{a} * @var{x}}. The iteration stops if @code{norm
## (@var{b} - @var{a} * @var{x}) <= @var{tol} * norm (@var{b} - @var{a} *
## @var{x0})}. If @var{tol} is empty or is omitted, the function sets
## @code{@var{tol} = 1e-6} by default.
## 
## @item
## @var{maxit} is the maximum allowable number of iterations; if
## @code{[]} is supplied for @code{maxit}, or @code{pcr} has less
## arguments, a default value equal to 20 is used.
##
## @item
## @var{m} is the (left) preconditioning matrix, so that the iteration is
## (theoretically) equivalent to solving by @code{pcr} @code{@var{P} *
## @var{x} = @var{m} \ @var{b}}, with @code{@var{P} = @var{m} \ @var{a}}.
## Note that a proper choice of the preconditioner may dramatically
## improve the overall performance of the method. Instead of matrix
## @var{m}, the user may pass a function which returns the results of 
## applying the inverse of @var{m} to a vector (usually this is the
## preferred way of using the preconditioner). If @code{[]} is supplied
## for @var{m}, or @var{m} is omitted, no preconditioning is applied.
## 
## @item
## @var{x0} is the initial guess. If @var{x0} is empty or omitted, the 
## function sets @var{x0} to a zero vector by default.
## @end itemize
## 
## The arguments which follow @var{x0} are treated as parameters, and
## passed in a proper way to any of the functions (@var{a} or @var{m})
## which are passed to @code{pcr}. See the examples below for further
## details. The output arguments are
##
## @itemize
## @item
## @var{x} is the computed approximation to the solution of
## @code{@var{a} * @var{x} = @var{b}}.
## 
## @item
## @var{flag} reports on the convergence. @code{@var{flag} = 0} means
## the solution converged and the tolerance criterion given by @var{tol}
## is satisfied. @code{@var{flag} = 1} means that the @var{maxit} limit
## for the iteration count was reached. @code{@var{flag} = 3} reports t
## @code{pcr} breakdown, see [1] for details.
## 
## @item
## @var{relres} is the ratio of the final residual to its initial value,
## measured in the Euclidean norm.
## 
## @item
## @var{iter} is the actual number of iterations performed.
##
## @item 
## @var{resvec} describes the convergence history of the method,
## so that @code{@var{resvec} (i)} contains the Euclidean norms of the 
## residual after the (@var{i}-1)-th iteration, @code{@var{i} =
## 1,2, @dots{}, @var{iter}+1}.
## @end itemize
## 
## Let us consider a trivial problem with a diagonal matrix (we exploit the
## sparsity of A) 
## 
## @example
## @group
## 	n = 10; 
## 	a = sparse (diag (1:n));
## 	b = rand (N, 1);
## @end group
## @end example
## 
## @sc{Example 1:} Simplest use of @code{pcr}
## 
## @example
##   x = pcr(A, b)
## @end example
## 
## @sc{Example 2:} @code{pcr} with a function which computes
## @code{@var{a} * @var{x}}.
##
## @example
## @group
##   function y = apply_a (x) 
##     y = [1:10]'.*x; 
##   endfunction
## 
##   x = pcr ("apply_a", b)
## @end group
## @end example
## 
## @sc{Example 3:}  Preconditioned iteration, with full diagnostics. The
## preconditioner (quite strange, because even the original matrix
## @var{a} is trivial) is defined as a function
## 
## @example
## @group
##   function y = apply_m (x)		
##     k = floor (length(x)-2); 
##     y = x; 
##     y(1:k) = x(1:k)./[1:k]';	
##   endfunction
## 
##   [x, flag, relres, iter, resvec] = ...
##                      pcr (a, b, [], [], "apply_m")
##   semilogy([1:iter+1], resvec);
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @sc{Example 4:} Finally, a preconditioner which depends on a
## parameter @var{k}.
## 
## @example
## @group
##   function y = apply_m (x, varargin)
##     k = varargin@{1@}; 
##     y = x; y(1:k) = x(1:k)./[1:k]';	 
##   endfunction
## 
##   [x, flag, relres, iter, resvec] = ...
##                      pcr (a, b, [], [], "apply_m"', [], 3)
