solve: standard method

+1 vote

Hello,

I have just a general question.
If I want to solve an equation and write the following:

solve(A, y.vector(), l)

which solver will be used?
LU? CG? GMRES?

I know that, I can change it, but what is used as the standard method?

Hi, I assume that by standard you mean the default method. In that case it is the LU solver, see here.
