Convergence of p-FEM for Maxwell eigenvalue problems

by Z. Chen and R. Hiptmair

(Report number 2004-02)

Abstract
The paper considers the solution of Maxwell eigenvalue problems by the p-version of curl-conforming finite elements on tetrahedral meshes. The asymptotic quasi-optimal convergence of discrete eigenvalues and eigenvectors as p -> \infty is proved. The proof relies on a novel technique combining tools from the calculus of differential forms with techniques for simplicial complexes.

Keywords: Maxwell eigenvalue problem, p-version of edge elements, discrete Poincaré-Friedrichs inequality, Poincaré map
