# PCQR

Uses a direct solver, based on QR factorization, as a preconditioner

## Notes

This is usually used as a preconditioner for `KSPLSQR`

If the matrix used to construct the preconditioner is a `MATNORMAL` or `MATNORMALHERMITIAN` matrix, then the QR is performed on the inner matrix to provide the preconditioner.
