Abstract: In this paper we prove a new abstract stability result for perturbed saddle-point problems based on a norm fitting technique. We derive the stability condition according to Babuska's theory from a small inf-sup condition, similar to the famous Ladyzhenskaya-Babuska-Brezzi (LBB) condition, and the other standard assumptions in Brezzi's theory, in a combined abstract norm. The construction suggests to form the latter from individual fitted norms that are composed from proper seminorms. This abstract framework not only allows for simpler (shorter) proofs of many stability results but also guides the design of parameter-robust norm-equivalent preconditioners. These benefits are demonstrated on mixed variational formulations of generalized Poisson, Stokes, vector Laplace and Biot's equations.
