Abstract Recently, Li and Wu (2015) proposed the single-step Hermitian and skewHermitian splitting (SHSS) method for solving the non-Hermitian positive definite linear systems. Based on the single-step Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting of the (1,1) part of the saddle-point coefficient matrix, a new Uzawa-type method is proposed for solving a class of saddle-point problems with non-Hermitian positive definite (1,1) parts. Convergence (Semi-convergence) properties of this new method for nonsingular (singular) are derived under suitable conditions. Numerical examples are implemented to confirm the theoretical results and verify that this new method is more feasibility and robustness than the new HSSlike (NHSS-like), the Uzawa-HSS and the parameterized Uzawa-skew-Hermitian triangular splitting (PU-STS) methods for solving both the nonsingular and the singular saddle-point problems with non-Hermitian positive definite and Hermitian dominant (1,1) parts.

1 Introduction Consider the following large and sparse saddle-point problem  Au =

A B −B ∗ 0

    x f = ≡ b, y −g

where A ∈ Cm×m is a non-Hermitian positive definite matrix, B ∈ Cm×n , f ∈ Cm and g ∈ Cn with m ≥ n. Here, B ∗ denotes the conjugate transpose of B. Linear system (1) arises in a number of scientific and engineering applications, such as computational fluid dynamics, mixed finite element approximations of elliptic partial differential equations, constrained optimizations, Navier–Stokes equations and so forth; see Benzi et al. (2005), Bai (2006), Bai et al. (2005), Brezzi and Fortin (1991), Golub and Wathen (1998), Haber and Modersitzki (2004) and the references therein. When B is of full column rank, the saddle-point problem (1) is nonsingular. A number of effective iterative methods based on matrix splitting have been proposed for solving nonsingular saddle-point problem (1), including the Uzawa-type methods (Bramble et al. 1997; Elman and Golub 1994; Bai and Wang 2008; Cao et al. 2011), the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS
