[SciPy-user] conjugate gradients solver - operator adjoint

the paper is journal of computational physics 61 (1985) 280-285. in case 
of need/interest i could forward it to you. for obvious reasons i don't 
attach it to this message...

would be glad to know your opinion on this problem... will check also 
the other options. i think the problem is, that in order for the 
algorithm to work (it's newton-raphson + conjugate gradients), it's 
necessary to have the exact adjoint in the solution...

best,
