Abstract
Many problems in engineering sciences lead to nonsymmetric and indefinite linear
systems. Such problems arise for example in fluid dynamics, acoustics and advection-diffusion
problems. In this chapter, we discuss preconditioned Krylov subspace methods
for such systems. The preconditioners are based on domain decomposition methods.
We present the known abstract convergence theory for these preconditioners, and
how it is applied to a few problems.
