Can you suggest me a reference (besides Wikipedia) where the GMRES (Generalized minimal residual method) algorithm is explained in full detail, in a nice and easy way to understand? A clearly written, easy to follow resource would be wonderful.

Thank you very much for your time!

It was developed by Yousef Saad and Martin Schultz. It can be found in Saad's book, chapter 6.5.

Bau and Trefethen's Numerical linear algebra is a very enjoyable read.

    But this book doesn't appear to have a good handle on GMRES. I couldn't understand how to form $Q_n$ out of $Q_{n-1}$ at the $n$-th step of Arnoldi iteration.2018-12-07
