Convergent adaptive finite element methods for photonic crystal applications

We prove the convergence of an adaptive finite element method for computing the band structure of 2D periodic photonic crystals with or without compact defects in both the TM and TE polarization cases. These eigenvalue problems involve non-coercive elliptic operators with discontinuous coefficie...
