A note on preconditioning for indefinite linear systems

Preconditioners are often conceived as approximate inverses. For nonsingular indefinite matrices of saddle-point (or KKT) form, we show how preconditioners incorporating an exact Schur complement lead to preconditioned matrices with exactly two or exactly three distinct eigenvalues. Thus approximati...
