The Department of Mathematical Sciences is pleased to share the recent publication by Jinguang Sun, Endowed Professor of Mathematics. Dr. Sun, along with co-author Aihui Zhou, published the 2nd Edition of “Finite Element Methods for Eignevalue Problems” on May 10, 2026 through CRC Press.
“Finite Element Methods for Eigenvalue Problems” covers finite element methods for several typical eigenvalues that arise from science and engineering. Both theory and implementation are covered in depth at the graduate level. The background for typical eigenvalue problems is included along with functional analysis tools, finite element discretization methods, convergence analysis, techniques for matrix evaluation problems, and computer implementation. The book also presents new methods, such as the discontinuous Galerkin method, and new problems, such as the transmission eigenvalue problem.
A big congratulations to Dr. Sun!
