$H^2$-Conforming Methods and Two-Grid Discretizations for the Elastic Transmission Eigenvalue Problem

Abstract

The elastic transmission eigenvalue problem has important applications in the inverse elastic scattering theory. Recently, the numerical computation for this problem has attracted the attention of the researchers. In this paper, we propose the $H^2$-conforming methods including the classical $H^2$-conforming finite element method and the spectral element method, and establish the two-grid discretization scheme. Theoretical analysis and numerical experiments show that the methods presented in this paper can efficiently compute real and complex elastic transmission eigenvalues.
