contents This paper studies the eigenvalue problem $K ψ= λψ$ associated with a Fredholm integral operator $K$ defined by a smooth kernel. The focus is on analyzing the convergence behaviour of numerical approximations to eigenvalues and their corresponding spectral subspaces. The interpolatory projection methods are employed on spaces of piecewise polynomials of even degree, using $2r+1$ collocation points that are not restricted to Gauss nodes. Explicit convergence rates are established, and the modified collocation method attains faster convergence of approximation of eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions than the classical collocation scheme. Moreover, it is shown that the iteration yields superconvergent approximations of eigenfunctions. Numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical findings.
