The inexact Newton method developed earlier for computing deflating subspaces associated with separated groups of finite eigenvalues of regular linear large sparse non-Hermitian matrix pencils is specialized to solve eigenproblems arising in the hydrodynamic temporal stability analysis. To this end, for linear systems to be solved at each step of the Newton method, a new efficient MLILU2 preconditioner based on the multilevel 2nd order incomplete LU-factorization is proposed. A special variant of Krylov subspace method IDR2 with right preconditioning is developed. In comparison with GMRES it requires much smaller workspace while may converge considerably faster than BiCGStab. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is illustrated with matrix pencils of order up to 3.1 ⋅ 10 6 arising in the temporal linear stability analysis of a typical hydrodinamic flow.

This paper introduces and analyzes an original class of Krylov subspace methods that provide an efficient alternative to many well-known conjugate-gradient-like (CG-like) Krylov solvers for square nonsymmetric linear systems arising from discretizations of inverse ill-posed problems. The main idea underlying the new methods is to consider some rank-deficient approximations of the transpose of the system matrix, obtained by running the (transpose-free) Arnoldi algorithm, and then apply some Krylov solvers to a formally right-preconditioned system of equations. Theoretical insight is given, and many numerical tests show that the new solvers outperform classical Arnoldi-based or CG-like methods in a variety of situations.

A decoupled finite element method with different time steps for the nonstationary Darcy--Brinkman problem is considered in this paper. Moreover, for the presented method, the stability analysis and error estimates are deduced. Finally, numerical tests are provided that demonstrate the efficiency of the method. It is found the presented method can save lots of computational time compared with standard coupled method.
