# KSPConvergedDefaultSetUIRNorm
makes the default convergence test use || B*(b - A*(initial guess))|| instead of || B*b ||. In the case of right preconditioner or if `KSPSetNormType`(ksp,`KSP_NORM_UNPRECONDITIONED`) is used there is no B in the above formula. UIRNorm is short for Use Initial Residual Norm. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPConvergedDefaultSetUIRNorm(KSP ksp)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ksp   -*** iterative context



## Options Database Key

- ***-ksp_converged_use_initial_residual_norm <bool> -*** Use initial residual norm for computing relative convergence



## Notes
Use `KSPSetTolerances()` to alter the defaults for rtol, abstol, dtol.

The precise values of reason are macros such as `KSP_CONVERGED_RTOL`, which
are defined in petscksp.h.

If the convergence test is not `KSPConvergedDefault()` then this is ignored.

If right preconditioning is being used then B does not appear in the above formula.
