On semi-convergence of generalized skew-Hermitian triangular splitting iteration methods for singular saddle-point problems (1402.5480v1)

Abstract: Recently, Krukier et al. [Generalized skew-Hermitian triangular splitting iteration methods for saddle-point linear systems, Numer. Linear Algebra Appl. 21 (2014) 152-170] proposed an efficient generalized skew-Hermitian triangular splitting (GSTS) iteration method for nonsingular saddle-point linear systems with strong skew-Hermitian parts. In this work, we further use the GSTS method to solve singular saddle-point problems. The semi-convergence properties of GSTS method are analyzed by using singular value decomposition and Moore-Penrose inverse, under suitable restrictions on the involved iteration parameters. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the GSTS iteration methods, both used as solvers and preconditioners for GMRES method.
