چکیده

The eigenvalues and eigenspaces of some discrete divand curl-related operators are investigated. The discrete operators give some good discrete analogues of the continuous counterparts and play an important role in developing finite volume schemes for solving div-curl equations and electromagnetic systems. Knowledge of the eigenvalues and eigenspaces is very useful in the numerical analysis of finite volume methods for electromagetic systems in nonhomogeneous media.

A Discrete Duality Finite Volume Approach to Hodge Decomposition and div-curl Problems on Almost Arbitrary Two-Dimensional Meshes

Abstract. We define discrete differential operators such as grad, div and curl, on general two-dimensional non-orthogonal meshes. These discrete operators verify discrete analogues of usual continuous theorems: discrete Green formulae, discrete Hodge decomposition of vector fields, vector curls have a vanishing divergence and gradients have a vanishing curl. We apply these ideas to discretize d...

The approximation of the Maxwell eigenvalue problem using a least-squares method

In this paper, we consider an approximation to the Maxwell’s eigenvalue problem based on a very weak formulation of two div-curl systems with complementary boundary conditions. We formulate each of these div-curl systems as a general variational problem with different test and trial spaces as done in [12], i.e., the solution space is L(Ω) ≡ (L(Ω)) and components in the test spaces are in subspa...

The Second Order Spectrum and Optimal Convergence

The method of second order relative spectra has been shown to reliably approximate the discrete spectrum for a self-adjoint operator. We extend the method to normal operators and find optimal convergence rates for eigenvalues and eigenspaces. The convergence to eigenspaces is new, while the convergence rate for eigenvalues improves on the previous estimate by an order of magnitude.

Discreteness of Transmission Eigenvalues via Upper Triangular Compact Operators

Transmission eigenvalues are points in the spectrum of the interior transmission operator, a coupled 2x2 system of elliptic partial differential equations, where one unknown function must satisfy two boundary conditions and the other must satisfy none. We show that the interior transmission eigenvalues are discrete and depend continuously on the contrast by proving that the interior transmissio...

New estimates for the div-curl-grad operators and elliptic problems with L1-data in the whole space and in the half-space

In this paper, we study the div-curl-grad operators and some elliptic problems in the whole space R and in the half-space R+, with n ≥ 2. We consider data in weighted Sobolev spaces and in L.
