Abstract

A preconditioned minimal residual method for nonsymmetric saddle point problems is analyzed. The proposed preconditioner is of block triangular form. The aim of this article is to show that a rigorous convergence analysis can be performed by using the field of values of the preconditioned linear system. As an example, a saddle point problem obtained from a mixed finite element discretization of the Oseen equations is considered. The convergence estimates obtained by using a field–of–values analysis are independent of the discretization parameter h. Several computational experiments supplement the theoretical results and illustrate the performance of the method.
