Abstract: Let $V$ be a {em periodic} potential on $R{R}^3$ that is smooth everywhere except at a discrete set $maS$ of points, where it has singularities of the form $Z/h{o}^2$, with $ho(x)=|x-p|$ for $x$ close to $p$ and $Z$ is continuous, $Z(p)>-1/4$ for $pinmaS$. We also assume that $ho$ and $Z$ are smooth outside $maS$ and $Z$ is smooth in polar coordinates around each singular point. Let us denote by $Lambda$ the periodicity lattice and set $TT:=R{R}^3/Lambda$. In the first paper of this series cite{HLNU1}, we obtained regularity results in weighted Sobolev space for the eigenfunctions of the Schr"odinger-type operator $H=-Delta+V$ acting on $L^2(TT)$, as well as for the induced $vtk$--Hamiltonians $Hk$ obtained by resticting the action of $H$ to Bloch waves. In this paper we present two related applications: one to the Finite Element approximation of the solution of $(L+Hk)v=f$ and one to the numerical approximation of the eigenvalues, $lambda$, and eigenfunctions, $u$, of $Hk$. We give optimal, higher order convergence results for approximation spaces defined piecewise polynomials. Our numerical tests are in good agreement with the theoretical results.
