Lower bounds for eigenvalues of the Steklov eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients (1908.09087v1)

Abstract: In this paper, using new correction to the Crouzeix-Raviart finite element eigenvalue approximations, we obtain lower eigenvalue bounds for the Steklov eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients on d-dimensional domains (d = 2,3). In addition, we prove that the corrected eigenvalues asymptotically converge to the exact ones from below whether the eigenfunctions are singular or smooth and whether the eigenvalues are large enough or not. Further, we prove that the corrected eigenvalues still maintain the same convergence order as that of uncorrected eigenvalues. Finally, numerical experiments validate our theoretical results.
