%         max_it   INTEGER maximum number of iterations
%         tol      REAL error tolerance
%
% output  x        REAL solution vector
%         error    REAL error norm
%         iter     INTEGER number of iterations performed
%         flag     INTEGER: 0 = solution found to tolerance
%                           1 = no convergence given max_it
