Uniform block-diagonal preconditioners for divergence-conforming HDG Methods for the generalized Stokes equations and the linear elasticity equations

Abstract

We propose a uniform block-diagonal preconditioner for condensed $H$(div)-conforming HDG schemes for parameter-dependent saddle point problems, including the generalized Stokes equations and the linear elasticity equations. An optimal preconditioner is obtained for the stiffness matrix on the global velocity/displacement space via the auxiliary space preconditioning (ASP) technique \cite{Xu96}. A spectrally equivalent approximation to the Schur complement on the element-wise constant pressure space is also constructed, and an explicit computable exact inverse is obtained via the Woodbury matrix identity. Finally, the numerical results verify the robustness of our proposed preconditioner with respect to model parameters and mesh size.
