Asymptotic Expansions and Extrapolation of Approximate Eigenvalues for Second Order Elliptic Problems by Mixed Finite Element Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
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 element projection with the finite element approximation of the eigenvalue problems by mixed finite element methods. In order to prove the full order of the eigenvalue extrapolation, we first propose “ the auxiliary equation method”. The result of this paper provides a general procedure to produce an asymptotic expansions for eigenvalue approximations by mixed finite elements.

Asymptotic Distributions of Estimators of Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions in Functional Data
Functional data analysis is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of statistics. This is partly due to technological advancements which have made it possible to generate new types of data that are in the form of curves. Because the data are functions, they lie in function spaces, which are of infinite dimension. To analyse functional data, one way, which is widely used, is to employ princip...
متن کاملSuperconvergence and Extrapolation for Mixed Finite Element Methods on Rectangular Domains
Asymptotic expansions for the RT (Raviart-Thomas) mixed finite element approximation by the lowest-order rectangular element associated with a second-order elliptic equation on a rectangular domain are derived. Superconvergence for the vector field along the Gauss lines is obtained as a result of the expansion. A procedure of postprocessed extrapolation is presented for the scalar field, as wel...
