THE NONCONFORMING CROUZEIX-RAVIART ELEMENT APPROXIMATION AND TWO-GRID DISCRETIZATIONS FOR THE ELASTICEIGENVALUE PROBLEM

In this paper,we extend the work of Brenner and Sung[Math.Comp.59,321–338(1992)]and present a regularity estimate for the elastic equations in concave domains.Based on the regularity estimate we prove that the constants in the error estimates of the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element approximations for the elastic equations/eigenvalue problem are independent of Laméconstant,which means the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element approximations are locking-free.We also establish two kinds of two-grid discretization schemes for the elastic eigenvalue problem,and analyze that when the mesh sizes of coarse grid and fine grid satisfy some relationship,the resulting solutions can achieve the optimal accuracy.Numerical examples are provided to show the efficiency of two-grid schemes for the elastic eigenvalue problem.

The A Priori and A Posteriori Error Estimates for Modified Interior Transmission Eigenvalue Problem in Inverse Scattering

In this paper,we discuss the conforming finite element method for a modified interior transmission eigenvalues problem.We present a complete theoretical analysis for the method,including the a priori and a posteriori error estimates.The theoretical analysis is conducted under the assumption of low regularity on the solution.We prove the reliability and efficiency of the a posteriori error estimators for eigenfunctions up to higher order terms,and we also analyze the reliability of estimators for eigenvalues.Finally,we report numerical experiments to show that our posteriori error estimator is effective and the approximations can reach the optimal convergence order.The numerical results also indicate that the conforming finite element eigenvalues approximate the exact ones from below,and there exists a monotonic relationship between the conforming finite element eigenvalues and the refractive index through numerical experiments.

A Multigrid Discretization of Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Stokes Eigenvalue Problem

In this paper,based on the velocity-pressure formulation of the Stokes eigenvalue problemin d-dimensional case(d=2,3),we propose amultigrid discretization of discontinuous Galerkin method using P_(k)-P_(k)-1 element(k≥1)and prove its a priori error estimate.We also give the a posteriori error estimators for approximate eigenpairs,prove their reliability and efficiency for eigenfunctions,and also analyze their reliability for eigenvalues.We implement adaptive calculation,and the numerical results confirm our theoretical predictions and show that our method is efficient and can achieve the optimal convergence order O(do f-2k/d).

TWO-GRID DISCRETIZATION SCHEMES OF THE NONCONFORMING FEM FOR EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS

This paper extends the two-grid discretization scheme of the conforming finite elements proposed by Xu and Zhou （Math. Comput., 70 （2001）, pp.17-25） to the nonconforming finite elements for eigenvalue problems. In particular, two two-grid discretization schemes based on Rayleigh quotient technique are proposed. By using these new schemes, the solution of an eigenvalue problem on a fine mesh is reduced to that on a much coarser mesh together with the solution of a linear algebraic system on the fine mesh. The resulting solution still maintains an asymptotically optimal accuracy. Comparing with the two-grid discretization scheme of the conforming finite elements, the main advantages of our new schemes are twofold when the mesh size is small enough. First, the lower bounds of the exact eigenvalues in our two-grid discretization schemes can be obtained. Second, the first eigenvalue given by the new schemes has much better accuracy than that obtained by solving the eigenvalue problems on the fine mesh directly.

A NOTE ON RICHARDSON EXTRAPOLATION OF GALERKIN METHODS FOR EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS OF FREDHOLM INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we introduce a new extrapolation formula by combining Richardson extrapolation and Sloan iteration algorithms. Using this extrapolation formula, we obtain some asymptotic expansions of the Galerkin finite element method for semi-simple eigenvalue problems of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and improve the accuracy of the numerical approximations of the corresponding eigenvalues. Some numerical experiments ave carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of our new method and to confirm our theoretical results.

An adaptive C^0IPG method for the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalue problem

The interior penalty methods using C^0 Lagrange elements(C^0 IPG) developed in the recent decade for the fourth order problems are an interesting topic at present. In this paper, we discuss the adaptive proporty of C^0 IPG method for the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalue problem. We give the a posteriori error indicators for primal and dual eigenfunctions, and prove their reliability and efficiency. We also give the a posteriori error indicator for eigenvalues and design a C^0 IPG adaptive algorithm. Numerical experiments show that this algorithm is efficient and can get the optimal convergence rate.

NEW ERROR ESTIMATES FOR LINEAR TRIANGLE FINITE ELEMENTS IN THE STEKLOV EIGENVALUE PROBLEM

This paper is concerned with the finite elements approximation for the Steklov eigen- value problem on concave polygonal domain. We make full use of the regularity estimate and the characteristic of edge average interpolation operator of nonconforming Crouzeix- Raviart element, and prove a new and optimal error estimate in ｜｜ ｜｜o,δΩ for the eigenfunc- tion of linear conforming finite element and the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element. Finally, we present some numerical results to support the theoretical analysis.
