Abstract

We consider the approximation of elliptic eigenvalue problem with an interface. The main aim of this paper is to prove the stability and convergence of an immersed finite element method (IFEM) for eigenvalues using Crouzeix–Raviart P1-nonconforming approximation. We show that spectral analysis for the classical eigenvalue problem can be easily applied to our model problem. We analyze the IFEM for elliptic eigenvalue problems with an interface and derive the optimal convergence of eigenvalues. Numerical experiments demonstrate our theoretical results.
