contents We present new convergence estimates for the iterated penalty method applied to structure-preserving discretizations of linear generalized saddle point systems. The method may be viewed as an Uzawa iteration on an augmented Lagrangian formulation of the system. As a by-product, we obtain sharper stability estimates for penalized/perturbed saddle point problems. Three model finite element applications show agreement with the theory.
