Superconvergent Two-Grid Methods for Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

Some numerical algorithms for elliptic eigenvalue problems are proposed, analyzed, and numerically tested. The methods combine advantages of the two-grid algorithm (Xu and Zhou in Math Comput 70(233):17–25, 2001), the two-space method (Racheva and Andreev in Comput Methods Appl Math 2:171–185, 2002), the shifted inverse power method (Hu and Cheng in Math Comput 80:1287–1301, 2011; Yang and Bi in SIAM J Numer Anal 49:1602–1624, 2011), and the polynomial preserving recovery enhancing technique (Naga et al. in SIAM J Sci Comput 28:1289–1300, 2006). Our new algorithms compare favorably with some existing methods and enjoy superconvergence property.
