Abstract
In this work we propose the use of alternating oblique projections (AOP) for the solution of the saddle points systems resulting from the discretization of domain decomposition problems. These systems are called coupled linear systems. The AOP method is a descent method in which the descent direction is defined by using alternating oblique projections onto the search subspaces. We prove that this method is a preconditioned simple gradient (Uzawa) method with a particular preconditioner. Finally, a preconditioned conjugate gradient based version of AOP is proposed.
