The weak Galerkin finite element method for the Steklov eigenvalue problem
This paper introduces the application of the weak Galerkin (WG) finite element method to solve the Steklov eigenvalue problem, focusing on obtaining lower bounds of the eigenvalues. The noncomforming finite element space of the weak Galerkin finite element method is the key to obtain lower bounds of the eigenvalues. The arbitary high order lower bound estimates are given and the guaranteed lower bounds of the eigenvalues are also discussed. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and lower bound property of the numerical scheme.
