Abstract:     
In this paper we consider the parameter dependent class of preconditioners M(a,d,D) defined in the companion paper The latter was constructed by using information from a Krylov subspace method, adopted to solve the large symmetric linear system Ax = b. We first estimate the condition number of the preconditioned matrix M(a,d,D). Then our preconditioners, which are independent of the choice of the Krylov subspace method adopted, proved to be effective also when solving sequences of slowly changing linear systems, in unconstrained optimization and linear algebra frameworks. A numerical experience is provided to give evidence of the performance of M(a,d,D).
