{{AFC comment|1=Thanks for your submission! I'm going to have to decline this for now as the draft is essentially just a statement of the algorithm with no explanation. This is not useful as an encyclopedic reference, as the [[WP:MTAU|significant technical language]] makes it difficult to read for anyone other than people familiar with the subject. Let me know if you have any questions! <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|TechnoSquirrel69]]</span> ([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|sigh]]) 20:01, 4 November 2023 (UTC)}}

In [[numerical linear algebra]], the '''conjugate gradient squared method (CGS)''' is an [[iterative method|iterative]] algorithm for solving [[systems of linear equations]] of the form <math>A{\bold x} = {\bold b}</math>, particularly in cases where computing the [[transpose]] <math>A^T</math> is impractical.<ref name="mathworld">{{cite web|title=Conjugate Gradient Squared Method|author1=Noel Black|author2=Shirley Moore|publisher=[[MathWorld|Wolfram Mathworld]]|url=https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ConjugateGradientSquaredMethod.html}}</ref> The CGS method was developed as an improvement to the [[Biconjugatebiconjugate gradient method]].<ref name="matlab">{{cite web|title=cgs|author=[[Mathworks]]|website=[[Matlab]] documentation|url=https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/cgs.html}}</ref><ref name="vorst03">{{cite book|author=[[Henk van der Vorst]]|title=Iterative Krylov Methods for Large Linear Systems|chapter=Bi-Conjugate Gradients|year=2003|publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=0-521-81828-1}}</ref><ref name="SIAM">{{cite journal|title=CGS, A Fast Lanczos-Type Solver for Nonsymmetric Linear systems|author=Peter Sonneveld|journal=SIAM Journal on Scientific and Statistical Computing|volume=10|issue=1|pages=36–52|date=1989|url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/921988114|url-access=limited|doi=10.1137/0910004|id={{ProQuest|921988114}} }}</ref>

== Background ==

A [[system of linear equations]] <math>A{\bold x} = {\bold b}</math> consists of a known [[Matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] <math>A</math> and a known [[Vector (mathematics)|vector]] <math>{\bold b}</math>. To solve the system is to find the value of the unknown vector <math>{\bold x}</math>.<ref name="vorst03" /><ref>{{Citation |title=Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra |pages=1–40 |access-date=2023-12-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040610221137/http://www.matrixanalysis.com/Chapter1.pdf |chapter=Linear equations |date=2000 |chapter-url=http://www.matrixanalysis.com/Chapter1.pdf |place= Philadelphia, PA |publisher=SIAM |doi=10.1137/1.9780898719512.ch1 |doi-broken-date=11 July 2025|isbn=978-0-89871-454-8 |archive-date=2004-06-10 }}</ref> A direct method for solving a system of linear equations is to take the inverse of the matrix <math>A</math>, then calculate <math>\bold x = A^{-1}\bold b</math>. However, computing the inverse is computationally expensive. Hence, iterative methods are commonly used. Iterative methods begin with a guess <math>\bold x^{(0)}</math>, and on each iteration the guess is improved. Once the difference between successive guesses is sufficiently small, the method has converged to a solution.<ref>{{cite web|title=Iterative Methods for Linear Systems|publisher=[[Mathworks]]|url=https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/iterative-methods-for-linear-systems.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Iterative Methods for Solving Linear Systems|author=Jean Gallier|publisher=[[UPenn]]|url=https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis5150/cis515-12-sl5.pdf}}</ref>

As with otherthe [[conjugate gradient method]], [[biconjugate gradient method]], and similar iterative methods for solving matrix-vectorsystems of linear equations, the CGS method can be used to find solutions to multi-variable [[optimisation problems]], such as [[power-flow study|power-flow analysis]], [[hyperparameter optimisation]], and [[facial recognition system|facial recognition]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Conjugate gradient methods|author1=Alexandra Roberts|author2=Anye Shi|author3=Yue Sun|access-date=2023-12-26|publisher=[[Cornell University]]|url=https://optimization.cbe.cornell.edu/index.php?title=Conjugate_gradient_methods}}</ref>
