Isogeometric spectral approximation for elliptic differential operators

We study the spectral approximation of a second-order elliptic differential eigenvalue problem that arises from structural vibration problems using isogeometric analysis. In this paper, we generalize recent work in this direction. We present optimally blended quadrature rules for the isogeometric spectral approximation of a diffusion-reaction operator with both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The blended rules improve the accuracy and the robustness of the isogeometric approximation. In particular, the optimal blending rules minimize the dispersion error and lead to two extra orders of super-convergence in the eigenvalue error. Various numerical examples (including the Schr$\ddot{\text{o}}$dinger operator for quantum mechanics) in one and three spatial dimensions demonstrate the performance of the blended rules.
