چکیده

The transmission eigenvalue problem plays a critical role in the theory of qualitative methods for inhomogeneous media in inverse scattering theory. Efficient computational tools for transmission eigenvalues are needed to motivate improvements to theory, and, more importantly as part of inverse algorithms for estimating material properties. In this paper, we propose two finite element methods to compute a few lowest Maxwell’s transmission eigenvalues which are of interest in applications. Since the discrete matrix eigenvalue problem is large, sparse, and, in particular, non-Hermitian due to the fact that the problem is neither elliptic nor self-adjoint, we devise an adaptive method which combines the Arnoldi iteration and estimation of transmission eigenvalues. Exact transmission eigenvalues for balls are derived and used as a benchmark. Numerical examples are provided to show the viability of the proposed methods and to test the accuracy of recently derived inequalities for transmission eigenvalues.

Iterative Methods for Transmission Eigenvalues

Transmission eigenvalues have important applications in inverse scattering theory. They can be used to obtain useful information of the physical properties, such as the index of refraction, of the scattering target. Despite considerable effort devoted to the existence and estimation for the transmission eigenvalues, the numerical treatment is limited. Since the problem is non-standard, classica...

Simulation and Experimental Study of Vibration and Noise of Pure Electric Bus Transmission based on Finite Element and Boundary Element Methods

Since the electric motor of pure electric vehicle replaced the engine, the "masking effect" disappears, and the problem of vibration and noise of the transmission becomes prominent. This is generated during the gear meshing and is transmitted to the housing through the shaft and bearing. Thereby, radiation noise of the housing are generated. The prediction and analysis...

Error Analysis for the Finite Element Approximation of Transmission Eigenvalues

In this paper we consider the transmission eigenvalue problem corresponding to acoustic scattering by a bounded isotropic inhomogeneous object in two dimensions. This is a non self-adjoint eigenvalue problem for a quadratic pencil of operators. In particular we are concerned with theoretical error analysis of a finite element method for computing the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions...

Lower Bounds for Eigenvalues of Elliptic Operators: By Nonconforming Finite Element Methods

The aim of the paper is to introduce a new systematic method that can produce lower bounds for eigenvalues. The main idea is to use nonconforming finite element methods. The general conclusion herein is that if local approximation properties of nonconforming finite element spaces Vh are better than global continuity properties of Vh, corresponding methods will produce lower bounds for eigenvalu...
