Recently, \textit{V. Sarin} and \textit{A. Sameh} [SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 19, No. 1, 206-226 (1998; Zbl 0911.76039)] have proposed an iterative solver for finite element and finite difference discretizations of Stokes type problems. The connection between the multilevel factorization method of Sarin and Sameh for solving mixed discretizations of the Stokes equation using a divergence-free finite element formulation, and preconditioners for the Poisson problem is established. For the 2D triangular Taylor-Hood element, a preconditioner is proposed that could be useful in fractional step methods.
