# SNESAnderson

Anderson Mixing method.

### Options Database

| -snes_anderson_m | - Number of stored previous solutions and residuals
| -snes_anderson_beta | - Relaxation parameter; X_{update} = X + \beta F
| -snes_anderson_restart_type | - Type of restart (see SNESNGMRES)
| -snes_anderson_restart_it | - Number of iterations of restart conditions before restart
| -snes_anderson_restart | - Number of iterations before periodic restart
| -snes_anderson_monitor | - Prints relevant information about the ngmres iteration

### Notes

The Anderson Mixing method combines m previous solutions into a minimum-residual solution by solving a small linearized optimization problem at each iteration.
