Stabilizing randomized GMRES through flexible GMRES (2506.18408v1)

Abstract: We explore the use of flexible GMRES as an outer wrapper for sketched GMRES. Building on a new bound for the residual of FGMRES in terms of the residual of the preconditioner, we derive a practical randomized solver that requires very little parameter tuning, while still being efficient and robust in the sense of generating non-increasing residual norms.
