Eigenvalues and Eigenmodes of L-Shaped Membrane

This example shows how to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The eigenvalue problem is $$-\Delta u=\lambda u$$. This example computes all eigenmodes with eigenvalues smaller than 100.

Create a model and include this geometry. The geometry of the L-shaped membrane is described in the file lshapeg.

model = createpde();
geometryFromEdges(model,@lshapeg);

Set zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on all edges.

applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Edge',1:model.Geometry.NumEdges,'u',0);

Specify the coefficients for the problem: d = 1 and c = 1. All other coefficients are equal to zero.

specifyCoefficients(model,'m',0,'d',1,'c',1,'a',0,'f',0);

Set the interval [0 100] as the region for the eigenvalues in the solution.

r = [0 100];

Create a mesh and solve the problem.

generateMesh(model,'Hmax',0.05);
results = solvepdeeig(model,r);

There are 19 eigenvalues smaller than 100.

length(results.Eigenvalues)

ans = 19

Plot the first eigenmode and compare it to the MATLAB's membrane function.

u = results.Eigenvectors;
pdeplot(model,'XYData',u(:,1),'ZData',u(:,1));

figure
membrane(1,20,9,9)

Eigenvectors can be multiplied by any scalar and remain eigenvectors. This explains the difference in scale that you see.

membrane can produce the first 12 eigenfunctions for the L-shaped membrane. Compare the 12th eigenmodes.
