Abstract:  Lower bounds for the condition numbers of the preconditioned
           systems are obtained for the Bramble-Pasciak-Schatz 
           substruturing preconditioner and the Neumann-Neumann 
           preconditioner in two dimensions. They show that the known 
           upper bounds are sharp.
