Abstract
The interior penalty methods using C 0 Lagrange elements ( C 0 IPG ) developed in the last decade for the fourth order problems are an interesting topic in academia at present. In this paper, we apply the methods to the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalue problem which is quadratic and non self-adjoint and has important applications in the inverse scattering theory. We propose a discrete scheme, present a complete error analysis and first prove the C 0 IPG method can capture smooth eigenpairs efficiently. Using the argument in this paper we can prove that the C 0 IPG methods for the fourth order eigenvalue problems in the existing literature can also capture smooth eigenpairs efficiently. Numerical examples confirm our theoretical analysis.
