Comput. Appl. Math. 220, No. 1-2, 8-12 (2008).} \itemab The authors consider nonsymmetric saddle point matrices of the form $M = [A B^T; -B C ]$, where $A$ is symmetric and positive definite, $B$ is full rank and $C$ is symmetric and positive semidefinite. For such systems they provide a new sufficient condition such that $M$ is diagonalizable, with real positive eigenvalues. \itemrv{Constantin Popa (Constan\c ta)} \itemcc{} \itemut{Saddle point matrix; eigenvalue; spectral condition number; diagonalization} \itemli{doi:10.1016/j.cam.2007.07.014} \end
