  * work even if number or type of the additional parameters for a certain
  * solver changes.
  *
- * However, since the BiCGStab method does not need additional data, the respective
- * structure is empty and does not offer any functionality. The constructor
- * has a default argument, so you may call it without the additional
- * parameter.
+ * The Bicgstab-method has two additional parameters: the first is a
+ * boolean, deciding whether to compute the actual residual in each
+ * step (@p{true}) or to use the length of the computed orthogonal
+ * residual (@{false} , not implemented yet). Remark, that computing
+ * the residual causes a third matrix-vector-multiplication, though no
+ * additional preconditioning, in each step.
+ *
+ * The second parameter is the size of a breakdown criterion. It is
+ * difficult to find a general good criterion, so if things do not
+ * work for you, try to change this value.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
