Function File: x = bicg (A, b, rtol, maxit, M1, M2, x0)
Function File: x = bicg (A, b, rtol, maxit, P)
Function File: [x, flag, relres, iter, resvec] = bicg (A, b, …)

Solve A x = b using the Bi-conjugate gradient iterative method.

A can be passed as a matrix or as a function handle or inline function f such that f(x, "notransp") = A*x and f(x, "transp") = A'*x.

The preconditioner P is given as P = M1 * M2. Both M1 and M2 can be passed as a matrix or as a function handle or inline function g such that g(x, "notransp") = M1 \ x or g(x, "notransp") = M2 \ x and g(x, "transp") = M1' \ x or g(x, "transp") = M2' \ x.
