Praise for the previous edition

“I highly recommend the book, especially for the curious graduate student."

—Joe Coyle, Mathematical Reviews

Finite Element Methods for Eigenvalue Problems covers finite element methods for several typical eigenvalues that arise from science and engineering. Both theory and implementation are covered in depth at the graduate level. The background for typical eigenvalue problems is included along with functional analysis tools, finite element discretization methods, convergence analysis, techniques for matrix evaluation problems, and computer implementation. The book also presents new methods, such as the discontinuous Galerkin method, and new problems, such as the transmission eigenvalue problem.
