# BV_ORTHOG_REFINE_IFNEEDED

In the orthogonalization of vectors, do iterative refinement only if a certain criterion is satisfied.

## Note

This is the default. One step of iterative refinement will be done if a certain numerical criterion holds. In ill-conditioned cases, a third orthogonalization can also be done. The criterion is similar to the one proposed in [Daniel et al., 1976]. The parameter \(\eta\) for the criterion can be set in `BVSetOrthogonalization()`.
