Abstract

In this paper, the eigenvalues for Schr\(\ddot{\text {o}}\)dinger operator with singularity are analyzed. A special piecewise uniform rectangular partition is constructed and it has been proven that, under this partition, the tri-linear rectangular finite element method has the highest possible superconvergence rate for eigenvalue.
