We introduce a type of full multigrid method for the nonlinear eigenvalue problem. The main idea is to transform the solution of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem into a series of solutions of the corresponding linear boundary value problems on the sequence of finite element spaces and nonlinear eigenvalue problems on the coarsest finite element space. The linearized boundary value problems are solved by some multigrid iterations.Besides the multigrid iteration, all other efficient iteration methods for solving boundary value problems can serve as the linear problem solver. We prove that the computational work of this new scheme is truly optimal,the same as solving the linear corresponding boundary value problem. In this case, this type of iteration scheme certainly improves the overfull efficiency of solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems. Some numerical experiments are presented to validate the efficiency of the new method.
In this paper,a residual type of a posteriori error estimator for the general second order elliptic eigenpair approximation by the mixed finite element method is derived and analyzed,based on a type of superconvergence result of the eigenfunction approximation.Its efficiency and reliability are proved by both theoretical analysis and numerical experiments.
In this paper,we analyze a nonconforming finite element method for the computation of transmission eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions.The error estimates of the eigenvalue and eigenfunction approximation are given,respectively.Finally,some numerical examples are provided to validate the theoretical results.
