Approximation of variational eigenvalue problems
Sergey I. Solov’ev · Differential Equations · 2010
A variational eigenvalue problem in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is approximated by a problem in a finite-dimensional subspace. We analyze the convergence and accuracy of the approximate solutions. The general results are illustrated by a scheme of the finite element method with numerical integration for a one-dimensional second-order differential eigenvalue problem. For this approximation, we obtain optimal estimates for the accuracy of the approximate solutions.
