Stability Estimates and Structural Spectral Properties of Saddle Point Problems

Numerical Analysis 2012-02-16 v1

Abstract

For a general class of saddle point problems sharp estimates for Babu\v{s}ka's inf-sup stability constants are derived in terms of the constants in Brezzi's theory. In the finite-dimensional Hermitian case more detailed spectral properties of preconditioned saddle point matrices are presented, which are helpful for the convergence analysis of common Krylov subspace methods. The theoretical results are applied to two model problems from optimal control with time-periodic state equations. Numerical experiments with the preconditioned minimal residual method are reported.
