On spectral clustering of HSS preconditioner for generalized saddle-point matrices

For the nonsingular generalized saddle-point matrix of a Hermitian positive definite or semidefinite leading block, we rigorously analyze clustering property for the eigenvalues of the corresponding preconditioned matrix with respect to the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting preconditioner. The result shows that these eigenvalues are clustered around 0(+), 2(-), and a few points located on the unit circle centered at 1, as the iteration parameter is close to 0. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
