On Solving Block-Structured Indefinite Linear Systems

From MaRDI portal





The authors discuss indefinite linear systems with a \(2 \times 2\) block structure, possibly having a singular \((1,1)\) block. They are focusing theirs attention on how to modify the linear system in a way that may make it easier to solve it. Mainly some aspects of a technique called `augmented Lagrangian' are investigated, consisting in modifying the \((1,1)\) block of the system without changing the system size. The choice of the parameter involved and the spectrum of the linear system are discussed. The condition number of the \((1,1)\) block, the indefinite matrix and Schur complement depend on the parameter in different ways. There seems to be a range of values of the parameter where at least two, and possibly all three, are close to their minimal value. Numerical experiments are performed that confirm the theoretical analysis.
