Augmented Subspace Scheme for Eigenvalue Problem by Weak Galerkin Finite Element Method (2401.04063v1)

Abstract: This study proposes a class of augmented subspace schemes for the weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method used to solve eigenvalue problems. The augmented subspace is built with the conforming linear finite element space defined on the coarse mesh and the eigenfunction approximations in the WG finite element space defined on the fine mesh. Based on this augmented subspace, solving the eigenvalue problem in the fine WG finite element space can be reduced to the solution of the linear boundary value problem in the same WG finite element space and a low dimensional eigenvalue problem in the augmented subspace. The proposed augmented subspace techniques have the second order convergence rate with respect to the coarse mesh size, as demonstrated by the accompanying error estimates. Finally, a few numerical examples are provided to validate the proposed numerical techniques.
