Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the structure of the Schur complement matrix for the fully-staggered finite-difference discretization of the stationary Stokes equation. Specifically, we demonstrate that the structure of the Schur complement matrix depends qualitatively on a particular characteristic, namely the number of non-unit eigenvalues, and the two limiting cases are of special interest.
