Abstract
Large linear systems of saddle point type arise in a wide variety of
applications including fluid dynamics, constrained and weighted least-squares,
and interior point algorithms. Due to their indefiniteness and often poor
spectral properties, such linear systems represent a significant challenge for
solver developers. In a series of two seminars we will give a detailed
introduction to main concepts and results in the area.
Below we list papers recommended for the preparation to the seminar.
