The bicgstab (bi-conjugate gradient stabilized) method is an iterative algorithm used for solving large and sparse systems of linear equations, particularly those that are non-symmetric. It improves upon the standard conjugate gradient method by using two sets of search directions to accelerate convergence, making it suitable for a broader range of problems. The method is particularly advantageous for systems where matrix properties such as symmetry and positive definiteness cannot be guaranteed.
congrats on reading the definition of bicgstab. now let's actually learn it.
