Numerical analysis of difference schemes often reveals the presence of eigenmodes which do not feature in the continuum solution. An examination of the dispersion relation shows how the spurious and physical modes interact. The behaviour of certain wave-profiles was predicted using this analysis and
The reasons for the presence of spurious modes in plane isoparametric elements are examined. Eigenvalue and eigenvector analyses of stiffness matrices for single elements and unconstrained and constrained meshes reveal the types of mechanisms and near-mechanisms that can be expected when reduced or
Spurious states arise naturally in the description of molecular vibrational excitations. In the harmonic approximation such states can be projected out from the physical space exactly. This is in general not the case when anharmonic interactions are considered. We show that within the framework of t
