摘要
We consider a positive definite block preconditioner for solving saddle point linear systems. An approach based on augmenting the (1,1) block while keeping its condition number small is described, and algebraic analysis is performed. Ways of selecting the parameters involved are discussed, and analytical and numerical observations are given.
