/**
 * \brief Iterative solver of linear systems based on the BICGStab(l) method.
 *
 * BICGStabL implements an iterative solver for non-symmetric linear systems,
 * using the BiCGstab(l) algorithm described in [1] and [2]. It is a
 * generalization of the stabilized biconjugate-gradient (BiCGstab) algorithm
 * proposed by van der Vorst [3]. BiCGstab(1) is equivalent to BiCGstab, and
 * BiCGstab(2) is a slightly more efficient version of the BiCGstab2 algorithm
 * by Gutknecht [4], while BiCGstab(l>2) is a further generalization.
