Variable parameter Uzawa method for solving a class of block three-by-three saddle point problems Na Huang1 Received: 12 September 2018 / Accepted: 4 December 2019 / © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020

Abstract In this work, we consider numerical methods for solving a class of block three-bythree saddle point problems, which arise from finite element methods for solving time-dependent Maxwell equations and a class of quadratic programs. We present a variant of Uzawa method with two variable parameters for the saddle point problems. These two parameters can be updated easily in each iteration, similar to the evaluation of the two iteration parameters in the conjugate gradient method. We show that the new iterative method converges to the unique solution of the saddle point problems under a reasonable condition. Numerical experiments highlighting the performance of the proposed method for problems are presented.

The finite element methods for solving time-dependent Maxwell equations with discontinuous coefficients in general three-dimensional Lipschitz polyhedral domains [18]: ε∂t E − curl H μ∂t H + curl E div(ε E) div(μ H)

Numerical solutions for linear systems play an important role in many applications, like diffuse optical tomography, computational fluid dynamics, lattice quantum chromodynamics, molecular scattering, electronic networks, computer graphics, and optimal control, see, e.g., [3, 8, 17, 22, 24, 46]. At present, quite many studies can be found in literature on the iterative methods
