Inverse Iteration for the Laplace Eigenvalue Problem with Robin and Mixed Boundary Conditions

STAG 110

Speaker: Nicholas Zitzelberger

Inverse iteration is a tool used in operator theory to investigate the spectral properties of a linear operator. We apply the method of inverse iteration to the Laplace eigenvalue problem with Robin and mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, respectively. For each problem, we prove convergence of the iterates to a non-trivial principal eigenfunction and show that the corresponding Rayleigh quotients converge to the principal eigenvalue. We also propose a related iterative method for an… Read more.
