On an augmented Lagrangian-based preconditioning of Oseen type problems

The paper deals with a general framework for constructing preconditioners for saddle point matrices, in particular as arising in the discrete linearized Navier-Stokes equations (Oseen’s problem). We utilize the so-called augmented Lagrangian framework, where the original linear system of equations is first transformed to an equivalent one, which latter is then solved by a preconditioned iterative solution method.
