Abstract
We discuss the p- and hp-versions of the virtual element method for the approximation of eigenpairs of elliptic operators with a potential term on polygonal meshes. An application of this model is provided by the Schrödinger equation with a pseudo-potential term. As an interesting byproduct, we present for the first time in literature an explicit construction of the stabilization of the mass matrix. We present in detail the analysis of the p-version of the method, proving exponential convergence in the case of analytic eigenfunctions. The theoretical results are supplied with a wide set of experiments. We also show numerically that, in the case of eigenfunctions with finite Sobolev regularity, an exponential approximation of the eigenvalues in terms of the cubic root of the number of degrees of freedom can be obtained by employing hp-refinements. Importantly, the geometric flexibility of polygonal meshes is exploited in the construction of the hp-spaces.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
