We propose a class of preconditioners for symmetric linear systems arising from numerical analysis and nonconvex optimization frameworks. Our preconditioners are specifically suited for large indefinite linear systems and may be obtained as by-product of Krylov-subspace solvers, as well as by...

We propose a class of preconditioners, which are also tailored for symmetric linear systems from linear algebra and nonconvex optimization. Our preconditioners are specifically suited for large linear systems and may be obtained as by-product of Krylov subspace solvers. Each preconditioner in...

In this paper we consider the parameter dependent class of preconditioners M(a,d,D) defined in the companion paper The latter was constructed by using information from a Krylov subspace method, adopted to solve the large symmetric linear system Ax = b. We first estimate the condition number of...

We consider an iterative preconditioning technique for non-convex large scale optimization. First, we refer to the solution of large scale indefinite linear systems by using a Krylov subspace method, and describe the iterative construction of a preconditioner which does not involve matrices...
