Abstract

A method of estimating all eigenvalues of a preconditioned discretized scalar diffusion operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions has been recently introduced in T. Gergelits, K.A. Mardal, B.F. Nielsen, Z. Strako\v{s}: Laplacian preconditioning of elliptic PDEs: Localization of the eigenvalues of the discretized operator, SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis 57(3) (2019), 1369-1394. Motivated by this paper, we offer a slightly different approach that extends the previous results in some directions. Namely, we provide bounds on all increasingly ordered eigenvalues of a general diffusion or elasticity operator with tensor data, discretized with the conforming finite element method, preconditioned by the inverse of a matrix of the same operator with different data. Our results hold for mixed Dirichlet and Robin or periodic boundary conditions applied to the original and preconditioning problems. The bounds are two-sided, guaranteed, easily accessible, and depend solely on the material data.
