Abstract

In this paper, we first present a local Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (LHSS) iteration method for solving a class of generalized saddle point problems. The new method converges to the solution under suitable restrictions on the preconditioning matrix. Then we give a modified LHSS (MLHSS) iteration method, and further extend it to the generalized saddle point problems, obtaining the so-called generalized MLHSS (GMLHSS) iteration method. Numerical experiments for a model Navier-Stokes problem are given, and the results show that the new methods outperform the classical Uzawa method and the inexact parameterized Uzawa method.
