Convergence
Convergence for Eigenvalue Problems with Mesh Adaptivity
This project has been done in collaboration with Prof. Ivan Graham.
Summary:
We prove the convergence of an adaptive linear finite element method for computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of second order symmetric elliptic partial differential operators. Each step of the adaptive procedure refines elements according to a properly designed marking strategy. The error analysis extends the standard theory of convergence of adaptive methods for linear elliptic source problems to the elliptic eigenvalue problem, and in particular deals with various complications which arise essentially from the nonlinearity of the eigenvalue problem.
