# KSPConvergedSkip
Convergence test that do not return as converged until the maximum number of iterations is reached. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPConvergedSkip(KSP ksp, PetscInt n, PetscReal rnorm, KSPConvergedReason *reason, void *dummy)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ksp   -*** iterative context
- ***n     -*** iteration number
- ***rnorm -*** 2-norm residual value (may be estimated)
- ***dummy -*** unused convergence context



## Returns

- ***reason -*** `KSP_CONVERGED_ITERATING`, `KSP_CONVERGED_ITS`



## Notes
This should be used as the convergence test with the option
`KSPSetNormType`(ksp,`KSP_NORM_NONE`), since norms of the residual are
not computed. Convergence is then declared after the maximum number
of iterations have been reached. Useful when one is using `KSPCG` or
`KSPBCGS`. [](sec_flexibleksp)
