In this paper, we establish a new local and parallel finite element discrete scheme based on the shifted-inverse power method for solving the biharmonic eigenvalue problem of plate vibration. We prove the local error estimation of finite element solution for the biharmonic equation/eigenvalue problem and prove the error estimation of approximate solution obtained by the local and parallel scheme. When the diameters of three grids satisfy H 4 = (w 2 ) = (h), the approximate solutions obtained by our schemes can achieve the asymptotically optimal accuracy. The numerical experiments show that the computational schemes proposed in this paper are effective to solve the biharmonic eigenvalue problem of plate vibration.

INTRODUCTIONAs one of the essential aspects of science and engineering computing today, the parallel computing has become a focal point of many scholars. In 2000, Xu and Zhou [1] propose some local and parallel finite element algorithms by combining the two-grid finite element discretization scheme with the local defect correction technique for elliptic boundary value problems. Later, this parallel-computing technique has been developed (see, e.g., [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]). In 2013, Bi et al. [22] propose a local finite element discretization based on the shifted-inverse power method for the second-order elliptic eigenvalue problem. Based on the above studies, this paper discusses the local and parallel finite element discrete Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq. 2019;35:851-869. wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/num
