TLDR
The problem of finding good preconditioners for the numerical solution of indefinite linear systems is considered and special emphasis is put on preconditionsers that have a 2 × 2 block structure and that incorporate the (1,2 and (2,1) blocks of the original matrix.
Abstract
The problem of finding good preconditioners for the numerical solution of indefinite linear systems is considered. Special emphasis is put on preconditioners that have a 2 × 2 block structure and that incorporate the (1,2) and (2,1) blocks of the original matrix. Results concerning the spectrum and form of the eigenvectors of the preconditioned matrix and its minimum polynomial are given. The consequences of these results are considered for a variety of Krylov subspace methods. Numerical experiments validate these conclusions.

Interior point methods 25 years later

TL;DR: Interior point methods for linear and (convex) quadratic programming display several features which make them particularly attractive for very large scale optimization as mentioned in this paper, including low-degree polynomial worst-case complexity and an unrivalled ability to deliver optimal solutions in an almost constant number of iterations which depends very little, if at all, on the problem dimension.
