Abstract

In [J.H. Bramble, I.E. Pasciak, A.T. Vassilev, Analysis of the inexact Uzawa algorithm for saddle point problems, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 34 (1997) 1072–1092], a nonlinear Uzawa algorithm for solving generalized saddle point problems iteratively was considered. In [Z. Cao, Fast Uzawa algorithm for generalized saddle point problems, Appl. Numer. Math. 46 (2003) 157–171], Cao gave another nonlinear Uzawa algorithm in order to accelerate convergence. In this paper, a new nonlinear Uzawa method, which is defined by two nonlinear approximate inverses, is proposed and its convergence result is deduced. At the same time, we analyze convergence results of three nonlinear Uzawa methods. The results of numerical experiments are presented when we apply them to Stokes equations discretized by mixed finite element.
