چکیده

We study spectral properties of a class of block 2× 2 matrices that arise in the solution of saddle point problems. These matrices are obtained by a sign change in the second block equation of the symmetric saddle point linear system. We give conditions for having a (positive) real spectrum and for ensuring diagonalizability of the matrix. In particular, we show that these properties hold for the discrete Stokes operator, and we discuss the implications of our characterization for augmented Lagrangian formulations, for Krylov subspace solvers and for certain types of preconditioners.

The Asymptotic Form of Eigenvalues for a Class of Sturm-Liouville Problem with One Simple Turning Point

The purpose of this paper is to study the higher order asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues associated with a class of Sturm-Liouville problem with equation of the form w??=(?2f(x)?R(x)) (1), on [a,b, where ? is a real parameter and f(x) is a real valued function in C2(a,b which has a single zero (so called turning point) at point 0x=x and R(x) is a continuously differentiable function. ...

Generalized iterative methods for solving double saddle point problem

In this paper, we develop some stationary iterative schemes in block forms for solving double saddle point problem. To this end, we first generalize the Jacobi iterative method and study its convergence under certain condition. Moreover, using a relaxation parameter, the weighted version  of the Jacobi method together with its convergence analysis are considered. Furthermore, we extend a method...

On the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of nonsymmetric saddle point matrices preconditioned by block triangular matrices

Block lower triangular and block upper triangular matrices are popular preconditioners for nonsymmetric saddle point matrices. In this note we show that a block lower triangular preconditioner gives the same spectrum as a block upper triangular preconditioner and that the eigenvectors of the two preconditioned systems are related. Nonsingular saddle point matrices of the form

A mathematically simple method based on denition for computing eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices

In this paper, a fundamentally new method, based on the denition, is introduced for numerical computation of eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices. Some examples are provided to show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method gives other sequences than that of existing methods but they still are convergent to th...
