Error estimates for both the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of elliptic eigenvalue problems are derived, including the case of multiple exact eigenvalues. The error estimates are derived including the discretization error (a linear triangular or bilinear rectangular finite element method) as well as the error arising from the application of quadrature formulae. It is found out that the numerical quadrature formula used does not affect the order of convergence of the finite element method.
