Regularization methods for the construction of preconditioners for saddle point problems

Main Article Content

Abstract

For the iterative solution of saddle point problems one needs efficient preconditioners to achieve a fast convergence. Three types of preconditioners are presented which are based on regularization by use of an augmented matrix. They are applicable also for problems with a highly singular pivot block matrix. One of the methods is applicable also for nonsymmetric saddle point problems.
