Abstract: We use the refined isogeometric analysis (rIGA) to solve generalized Hermitian eigenproblems (Ku=lambdaMu). The rIGA framework conserves the desirable properties of maximum-continuity isogeometric analysis (IGA) discretizations while reducing the computation cost of the solution through partitioning the computational domain by adding zero-continuity basis functions. As a result, rIGA enriches the approximation space and decreases the interconnection between degrees of freedom. We compare computational costs of rIGA versus those of IGA when employing a Lanczos eigensolver with a shift-and-invert spectral transformation. When all eigenpairs within a given interval [lambdas,lambdae] are of interest, we select several shifts sigmakin[lambdas,lambdae] using a spectrum slicing technique. For each shift sigmak, the cost of factorization of the spectral transformation matrix K−sigmakM drives the total computational cost of the eigensolution. Several multiplications of the operator matrices (K−sigmakM)−1M by vectors follow this factorization. Let p be the polynomial degree of basis functions and assume that IGA has maximum continuity of p−1, while rIGA introduces C0 separators to minimize the factorization cost. For this setup, our theoretical estimates predict computational savings to compute a fixed number of eigenpairs of up to O(p2) in the asymptotic regime, that is, large problem sizes. Yet, our numerical tests show that for moderately-sized eigenproblems, the total computational cost reduction is O(p). Nevertheless, rIGA improves the accuracy of every eigenpair of the first N0 eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Here, we allow N0 to be as large as the total number of eigenmodes of the original maximum-continuity IGA discretization.
