Matrix Iterations and Saddle-Point Systems: from Optimization to Navier-Stokes and back

Abstract Iterative methods can be the only feasible way to tackle linear(ized) problems of very large size. We will give a brief description of candidate methods and then focus on the specific but widely arising case of saddle-point systems: systems which arise in any problem with constraints. We will show similar approaches for constrained optimization and incompressible Navier-Stokes problems and indicate how they can be combined for design problems involving fluid flows.
