Abstract: This paper deals with the finite element approximation of the spectral problem for the Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions on a curved nonconvex domain $\Omega$. Convergence and optimal order error estimates are proved for standard piecewise linear continuous elements on a discrete polygonal domain $\Omega_h\not\subset\Omega$ in the framework of the abstract spectral approximation theory.
