/** \ingroup IterativeLinearSolvers_Module
  * \brief A conjugate gradient solver for sparse (or dense) least-square problems
  *
  * This class allows to solve for A x = b linear problems using an iterative conjugate gradient algorithm.
  * The matrix A can be non symmetric and rectangular, but the matrix A' A should be positive-definite to guaranty stability.
  * Otherwise, the SparseLU or SparseQR classes might be preferable.
  * The matrix A and the vectors x and b can be either dense or sparse.
  *
  * \tparam _MatrixType the type of the matrix A, can be a dense or a sparse matrix.
  * \tparam _Preconditioner the type of the preconditioner. Default is LeastSquareDiagonalPreconditioner
  *
  * \implsparsesolverconcept
  * 
  * The maximal number of iterations and tolerance value can be controlled via the setMaxIterations()
  * and setTolerance() methods. The defaults are the size of the problem for the maximal number of iterations
  * and NumTraits<Scalar>::epsilon() for the tolerance.
  * 
  * This class can be used as the direct solver classes. Here is a typical usage example:
    \code
    int m=1000000, n = 10000;
    VectorXd x(n), b(m);
    SparseMatrix<double> A(m,n);
    // fill A and b
    LeastSquaresConjugateGradient<SparseMatrix<double> > lscg;
    lscg.compute(A);
    x = lscg.solve(b);
    std::cout << "#iterations:     " << lscg.iterations() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "estimated error: " << lscg.error()      << std::endl;
    // update b, and solve again
    x = lscg.solve(b);
    \endcode
  * 
  * By default the iterations start with x=0 as an initial guess of the solution.
  * One can control the start using the solveWithGuess() method.
  * 
  * \sa class ConjugateGradient, SparseLU, SparseQR
