A class of iterative methods for solving saddle point problems (Q1825592): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the numerical solution of a class of indefinite systems of linear equations arising in the calculation of saddle points. The main concern is of large sparse systems resulting from certain discretizations of partial differential equations. A two level iterative method is proposed and convergence rates for both inner and outer iterations are provided. The technique is applied to finite element approximations of the Stokes equations.
