We study the regularity in weighted Sobolev spaces of Schrödinger-type eigenvalue problems, and we analyze their approximation via a discontinuous Galerkin (dG) [Formula: see text] finite element method. In particular, we show that, for a class of singular potentials, the eigenfunctions of the operator belong to analytic-type non-homogeneous weighted Sobolev spaces. Using this result, we prove that an isotropically graded [Formula: see text] dG method is spectrally accurate, and that the numerical approximation converges with exponential rate to the exact solution. Numerical tests in two and three dimensions confirm the theoretical results and provide an insight into the behavior of the method for varying discretization parameters.

We discuss the finite element approximation of eigenvalue problems associated with compact operators. While the main emphasis is on symmetric problems, some comments are present for non-self-adjoint operators as well. The topics covered include standard Galerkin approximations, non-conforming approximations, and approximation of eigenvalue problems in mixed form. Some applications of the theory are presented and, in particular, the approximation of the Maxwell eigenvalue problem is discussed in detail. The final part tries to introduce the reader to the fascinating setting of differential forms and homological techniques with the description of the Hodge–Laplace eigenvalue problem and its mixed equivalent formulations. Several examples and numerical computations complete the paper, ranging from very basic exercises to more significant applications of the developed theory.

We consider the effect of numerical integration in finite element  procedures applied to a nonlinear system of two coupled partial differential equations describing the miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous meduim. We consider the use of the numerical quadrature scheme for approximating the pressure and velocity by a mixed method using Raviart - Thomas space of index  and the concentration by a standard Galerkin method. We also give some sufficient conditions on the quadrature scheme to ensure that the order of convergence is unaltered in the presence of numerical integration. Optimal order estimates are derived when the imposed external flows are smoothly distributed.

This paper deals with a posteriori error estimators for the linear finite element approximation of second-order elliptic eigenvalue problems in two or three dimensions. First, we give a simple proof of the equivalence, up to higher order terms, between the error and a residual type error estimator. Second, we prove that the volumetric part of the residual is dominated by a constant times the edge or face residuals, again up to higher order terms. This result was not known for eigenvalue problems.
