A local and parallel algorithm based on the multilevel discretization is proposed in this paper to solve the eigenvalue problem by the finite element method. With this new scheme, solving the eigenvalue problem in the finest grid is transferred to solutions of the eigenvalue problems on the coarsest mesh and a series of solutions of boundary value problems by using the local and parallel algorithm. The computational work in each processor can reach the optimal order. Therefore, this type of multilevel local and parallel method improves the overall efficiency of solving the eigenvalue problem. Some numerical experiments are presented to validate the efficiency of the new method.
