Abstract: This paper proposes a two-parameter block triangular splitting (TPTS) preconditioner for the general block two-by-two linear systems. The eigenvalues of the corresponding preconditioned matrix are proved to cluster around 0 or 1 under mild conditions. The limited numerical results show that the TPTS preconditioner is more efficient than the classic block-diagonal and block-triangular preconditioners when applied to the flexible generalized minimal residual (FGMRES) method.

Key words: Block triangular splitting, Block two-by-two linear systems, Eigenvalues, Preconditioner, flexible generalized minimal residual(FGMRES)
