Abstract

In this paper we present a numerical approach to a nonstandard second-order elliptic eigenvalue problem defined on two overlapping rectangular domains with a nonlocal (integral) boundary condition. Usually, for this class of problems error estimates are suboptimal. By introducing suitable degrees of freedom and a corresponding interpolation operator we derive optimal order finite element approximation. Numerical results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
