# PCFieldSplitSetGKBDelay
Sets the delay in the lower bound error estimate in the generalized Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization in `PCFIELDSPLIT` preconditioner. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCFieldSplitSetGKBDelay(PC pc, PetscInt delay)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc     -*** the preconditioner context
- ***delay  -*** the delay window in the lower bound estimate



## Options Database Key

- ***-pc_fieldsplit_gkb_delay -*** default is 5





## Note
The algorithm uses a lower bound estimate of the error in energy norm as stopping criterion. The lower bound of the error ||u-u^k||_H
is expressed as a truncated sum. The error at iteration k can only be measured at iteration (k + delay), and thus the algorithm needs
at least (delay + 1) iterations to stop. For more details on the generalized Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization method and its lower bound stopping criterion, please refer to
