Abstract

An estimate confirming the supercloseness between the Ritz projection and the corresponding eigenvectors, obtained by finite element method, is hereby proved. This result is true for a large class of self-adjoint 2m–order elliptic operators. An application of this theorem to the superconvergence postprocessing patch-recovery technique for finite element eigenvalue problems is also presented. Finally, the theoretical investigations are supported by numerical experiments.
