Discontinuous Galerkin computation of the Maxwell eigenvalues on simplicial meshes (Q883455)

This paper is concerned with the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximation of the Maxwell eigenproblem. The authors recall the article [\textit{A. Buffa} and \textit{I. Perugia}, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 44, No. 5, 2198--2226 (2006; Zbl 1344.65110)], where the analysis of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximations to the Maxwell eigenproblem with discontinuous material coefficients was developed. In that article, necessary and sufficient conditions which the underlying DG method must satisfy in order to yield a spurious- free approximation were identified. Authors provide in the present article a thorough testing of DG approximations of the eigenproblem, in smooth and singular cases, with continuous and discontinuous coefficients, carried out with conforming and non-conforming meshes, with symmetric and non-symmetric DG methods.
