A posteriori error estimates for nonconforming finite element methods for fourth-order problems on rectangles

The a posteriori error analysis of conforming finite element discretisations of the biharmonic problem for plates is well established, but nonconforming discretisations are more easy to implement in practice. The a posteriori error analysis for the Morley plate element appears very particular because two edge contributions from an integration by parts vanish simultaneously. This crucial property is lacking for popular rectangular nonconforming finite element schemes like the nonconforming rectangular Morley finite element, the incomplete biquadratic finite element, and the Adini finite element. This paper introduces a novel methodology and utilises some conforming discrete space on macro elements to prove reliability and efficiency of an explicit residual-based a posteriori error estimator. An application to the Morley triangular finite element shows the surprising result that all averaging techniques yield reliable error bounds. Numerical experiments confirm the reliability and efficiency for the established a posteriori error control on uniform and graded tensor-product meshes.     

On the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on forms

We study a Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalue problem for differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. This problem is a natural generalization of the classical Dirichlet-to-Neumann (or Steklov) problem on functions. We derive a number of upper and lower bounds for the first eigenvalue in several contexts: many of these estimates will be sharp, and for some of them we characterize equality. We also relate these new eigenvalues with those of other operators, like the Hodge Laplacian or the biharmonic Steklov operator.     

ESTIMATES ON EIGENVALUES FOR THE BIHARMONIC OPERATOR ON A BOUNDED DOMAIN IN H~n(-1)

In this paper, we consider eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on a bounded domain in a hyperbolic space. We obtain universal bounds on the (k + 1)th eigenvalue in terms of the first kth eigenvalues independent of the domains.     

Universal bounds for eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator on Riemannian manifolds

In this paper we consider eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and prove a general inequality for them. By using this inequality, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on compact domains in a Euclidean space or a minimal submanifold of it and a unit sphere. We obtain universal bounds on the (k+1)th eigenvalue on such objects in terms of the first k eigenvalues independent of the domains. The estimate for the (k+1)th eigenvalue of bounded domains in a Euclidean space improves an important inequality obtained recently by Cheng and Yang.

Spectral bounds of the difference Laplace operator in non-rectangular regions

We consider the eigenvalue problem for a two-dimensional difference Laplace operator in non-rectangular regions (a curvilinear triangle, a curvilinear trapezoid, a circular segment). The dependence of the eigenvalues on the parameters of the regions is elucidated. The main result is the derivation of the spectral bounds of the difference operator. A lower bound for the minimum eigenvalue and an upper bound for the maximum eigenvalue are determined. The spectral bound is determined numerically for a series of non-rectangular regions. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 23, pp. 94–113, 2006.

Lower Bounds for the Nodal Length of Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian

We prove lower bounds for the length of the zero set of aneigenfunction of the Laplace operator on a Riemann surface; inparticular, in non-negative curvature, or when the associated eigenvalueis large, we give a lower bound which involves only the square root ofthe eigenvalue and the area of the manifold (modulo a numericalconstant, this lower bound is sharp).

THE SHIFTED-INVERSE POWER WEAK GALERKIN METHOD FOR EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS

This paper proposes and analyzes a new weak Galerkin method for the eigenvalue problem by using the shifted-inverse power technique. A high order lower bound can be obtained at a relatively low cost via the proposed method. The error estimates for both eigenvalue and eigenfunction are provided and asymptotic lower bounds are shown as well under some conditions. Numerical examples are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

Asymptotic Analysis of Localized Solutions to Some Linear and Nonlinear Biharmonic Eigenvalue Problems

In an arbitrary bounded 2‐D domain, a singular perturbation approach is developed to analyze the asymptotic behavior of several biharmonic linear and nonlinear eigenvalue problems for which the solution exhibits a concentration behavior either due to a hole in the domain, or as a result of a nonlinearity that is nonnegligible only in some localized region in the domain. The specific form for the biharmonic nonlinear eigenvalue problem is motivated by the study of the steady‐state deflection of one of the two surfaces in a Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical System capacitor. The linear eigenvalue problem that is considered is to calculate the spectrum of the biharmonic operator in a domain with an interior hole of asymptotically small radius. One key novel feature in the analysis of our singularly perturbed biharmonic problems, which is absent in related second‐order elliptic problems, is that a point constraint must be imposed on the leading order outer solution to asymptotically match inner and outer representations of the solution. Our asymptotic analysis also relies heavily on the use of logarithmic switchback terms, notorious in the study of Low Reynolds number fluid flow, and on detailed properties of the biharmonic Green’s function and its associated regular part near the singularity. For a few simple domains, full numerical solutions to the biharmonic problems are computed to verify the asymptotic results obtained from the analysis.     

Local and parallel finite element method for solving the biharmonic eigenvalue problem of plate vibration

In this paper, we establish a new local and parallel finite element discrete scheme based on the shifted‐inverse power method for solving the biharmonic eigenvalue problem of plate vibration. We prove the local error estimation of finite element solution for the biharmonic equation/eigenvalue problem and prove the error estimation of approximate solution obtained by the local and parallel scheme. When the diameters of three grids satisfy H⁴ = ?(w²) = ?(h), the approximate solutions obtained by our schemes can achieve the asymptotically optimal accuracy. The numerical experiments show that the computational schemes proposed in this paper are effective to solve the biharmonic eigenvalue problem of plate vibration.

It applies to manifolds with harmonic curvature tensor and depends on the Ricci tensor. Examples show how it behaves compared to other known bounds.

A New Boundary Element Method for the Biharmonic Equation with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions

We consider a scalar boundary integral formulation for the biharmonic equation based on the Almansi representation. This formulation was derived by the first author in an earlier paper. Our aim here is to prove the ellipticity of the integral operator and hence establish convergence of and error bounds for Galerkin boundary element methods. The theory applies both in two and three dimensions, but only for star-shaped domains. Numerical results in two dimensions confirm our analysis.     

Sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalues of the bi-drifting Laplacian

In the present paper we study some kinds of the problems for the bi-drifting Laplacian operator and get some sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalue for these eigenvalue problems on compact manifolds with boundary (also called a smooth metric measure space) and weighted Ricci curvature bounded inferiorly.     

The Morley element for fourth order elliptic equations in any dimensions

In this paper, the well-known nonconforming Morley element for biharmonic equations in two spatial dimensions is extended to any higher dimensions in a canonical fashion. The general n-dimensional Morley element consists of all quadratic polynomials defined on each n-simplex with degrees of freedom given by the integral average of the normal derivative on each (n-1)-subsimplex and the integral average of the function value on each (n-2)-subsimplex. Explicit expressions of nodal basis functions are also obtained for this element on general n-simplicial grids. Convergence analysis is given for this element when it is applied as a nonconforming finite element discretization for the biharmonic equation.

Upper bounds for the first zeros of Bessel functions

An upper bound for the first positive zero of the Bessel functions of first kind J_μ(z) for μ > −1 is given. This upper bound is better than a number of upper bounds found recently by several authors. The upper bound given in this paper follows from a step of the Ritz's approximation method, applied to the eigenvalue problem of a compact self-adjoint operator, defined on an abstract separable Hilbert space. Some advantages of this method in comparison with other approximation methods are presented.
