In this paper, two types of Schur complement based preconditioners are studied for twofold and block tridiagonal saddle point problems. One is based on the nested (or recursive) Schur complement, the other is based on an additive type Schur complement after permuting the original saddle point systems. We discuss different preconditioners incorporating the exact Schur complements. It is shown that some of them will lead to positive stable preconditioned systems. Our theoretical analysis is instructive for devising various exact and inexact preconditioners, as well as iterative solvers for many twofold and block tridiagonal saddle point problems.

We propose new preconditioned iterative solvers for linear systems arising in primal-dual interior point methods for convex quadratic programming problems. These preconditioned conjugate gradient methods operate on an implicit Schur complement of the KKT system at each iteration. In contrast to standard approaches, the Schur complement we consider enables the reuse of the factorization of the Hessian of the equality-constraint Lagrangian across all interior point iterations. Further, the resulting reduced system admits preconditioners that directly alleviate the ill-conditioning associated with the strict complementarity condition in interior point methods. The two preconditioners we propose also provably reduce the number of unique eigenvalues for the coefficient matrix (CG iteration count). One is efficient when the number of equality constraints is small, while the other is efficient when the number of remaining degrees of freedom is small. Numerical experiments with synthetic problems and problems from the Maros-Meszaros QP collection show that our preconditioned inexact interior point solvers are effective at improving conditioning and reducing cost. Across all test problems for which the direct method is not fastest, our preconditioned methods achieve a reduction in cost by a geometric mean of 1.432 relative to the best alternative preconditioned method for each problem.
In this paper we study the linear systems arising from discretized poroelasticity problems. We formulate one block preconditioner for the two-filed Biot model and several preconditioners for the classical three-filed Biot model under the unified rela tionship framework between well-posedness and preconditioners. By the unified theory, we show all the considered preconditioners are uniformly optimal with respect to material and discretization parameters. Numerical tests demonstrate the robustness of these preconditioners.
Using the framework of operator or Cald{e}ron preconditioning, uniform preconditioners are constructed for elliptic operators of order $2s in [0,2]$ discretized with continuous finite (or boundary) elements. The cost of the preconditioner is the cost of the application an elliptic opposite order operator discretized with discontinuous or continuous finite elements on the same mesh, plus minor cost of linear complexity. Herewith the construction of a so-called dual mesh is avoided.
In this paper we prove a new abstract stability result for perturbed saddle-point problems based on a norm fitting technique. We derive the stability condition according to Babuv{s}kas theory from a small inf-sup condition, similar to the famous Lady zhenskaya-Babuv{s}ka-Brezzi (LBB) condition, and the other standard assumptions in Brezzis theory, in a combined abstract norm. The construction suggests to form the latter from individual {it fitted} norms that are composed from proper seminorms. This abstract framework not only allows for simpler (shorter) proofs of many stability results but also guides the design of parameter-robust norm-equivalent preconditioners. These benefits are demonstrated on mixed variational formulations of generalized Poisson, Stokes, vector Laplace and Biots equations.
We propose a multi-level type operator that can be used in the framework of operator (or Cald{e}ron) preconditioning to construct uniform preconditioners for negative order operators discretized by piecewise polynomials on a family of possibly locall y refined partitions. The cost of applying this multi-level operator scales linearly in the number of mesh cells. Therefore, it provides a uniform preconditioner that can be applied in linear complexity when used within the preconditioning framework from our earlier work [Math. of Comp., 322(89) (2020), pp. 645-674].
