Extrapolation of Mixed Finite Element Approximations for the Maxwell Eigenvalue Problem

چکیده
In this paper, a general method to derive asymptotic error expansion formulas for the mixed finite element approximations of the Maxwell eigenvalue problem is established. Abstract lemmas for the error of the eigenvalue approximations are obtained. Based on the asymptotic error expansion formulas, the Richardson extrapolation method is employed to improve the accuracy of the approximations for the eigenvalues of the Maxwell system from O (h) to O (h) when applying the lowest order Nédélec mixed finite element and a nonconforming mixed finite element. To our best knowledge, this is the first superconvergence result of the Maxwell eigenvalue problem by the extrapolation of the mixed finite element approximation. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the theoretical results. AMS subject classifications: 65M10, 65N30

Asymptotic Expansions and Extrapolation of Approximate Eigenvalues for Second Order Elliptic Problems by Mixed Finite Element Methods
In this paper, we derive an asymptotic error expansion for the eigenvalue approximations by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element method for the general second order elliptic eigenvalue problems. Extrapolation based on such an expansion is applied to improve the accuracy of the eigenvalue approximations. Furthermore, we also prove the superclose property between the finite elemen...
متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملConvergence analysis for hyperbolic evolution problems in mixed form
In this paper we present a convergence analysis for the space discretization of hyperbolic evolution problems in mixed form. The results of [1] are extended to this situation, showing the relationships between the approximation of the underlying eigenvalue problem and the space discretization of the corresponding evolution problem. The theory is applied to the finite element approximations of t...
متن کاملAnalysis of Natural Frequencies for a Laminated Composite Plate with Piezoelectric Patches using the First and Second Eigenvalue Derivatives
In this paper, the first and second order approximations of Taylor expansion are used for calculating the change of each natural frequency by modifying an arbitrary parameter of a system with a known amount and based on this approximation, the inverse eigenvalue problem is transformed to a solvable algebraic equation. The finite element formulation, based on the classical laminated plate theory...

In this paper we propose a method for improving the convergence rate of the mixed finite element approximations for the Stokes eigenvalue problem. It is based on a postprocessing strategy that consists of solving an additional Stokes source problem on an augmented mixed finite element space which can be constructed either by refining the mesh or by using the same mesh but increasing the order o...
