A two-grid discretization scheme for the Steklov eigenvalue problem

In the paper, a two-grid discretization scheme is discussed for the Steklov eigenvalue problem. With the scheme, the solution of the Steklov eigenvalue problem on a fine grid is reduced to the solution of the Steklov eigenvalue problem on a much coarser grid and the solution of a linear algebraic system on the fine grid. Using spectral approximation theory, it is shown theoretically that the two-scale scheme is efficient and the approximate solution obtained by the scheme maintains the asymptotically optimal accuracy. Finally, numerical experiments are carried out to confirm the considered theory.
