  • Abstract

We study the $n$-simplex nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element in approximating the $n$-dimensional second-order elliptic boundary value problems and the associated eigenvalue problems. By using the second Strang Lemma, optimal rate of convergence is established under the discrete energy norm. The error bound is also valid for the eigenfunction approximations. In addition, when eigenfunctions are singular, we prove that the Crouzeix-Raviart element approximates exact eigenvalues from below. Moreover, our numerical experiments demonstrate that the lower bound property is also valid for smooth eigenfunctions, although a theoretical justification is lacking.
