Abstract
We consider approximation of eigenelements of a two-dimensional compact integral operator with a smooth kernel by discrete Galerkin and iterated discrete Galerkin methods. By choosing numerical quadrature appropriately, we obtain superconvergence rates for eigenvalues and iterated eigenvectors, and for gap between the spectral subspaces. We propose an asymptotic error expansions of the iterated discrete Galerkin method and asymptotic error expansion of approximate eigenvalues. We then apply Richardson extrapolation to obtain improved error bounds for the eigenvalues. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate theoretical estimate.
