In　this　study,　a　multilevel　local　defect-correction　method　is　designed　for　solving　nonsymmetric　eigenvalue　problems.　The　main　feature　of　our　approach　is　the　transformation　of　the　nonsymmetric　eigenvalue　problems　into　several　symmetric　boundary　value　problems　defined　in　a　multilevel　finite　element　space　sequence　and　some　low-dimensional　nonsymmetric　eigenvalue　problems　defined　in　a　specially　designed　correction　space.　Moreover,　the　symmetric　boundary　value　problems　involved　in　our　algorithm　are　solved　by　the　local　defect-correction　strategy　that　divides　the　computing　domain　into　small-scale　subdomains.　Since　solving　the　high-dimensional　nonsymmetric　eigenvalue　problems　is　avoided　which　is　quite　time-consuming　compared　with　that　of　solving　boundary　value　problems,　the　presented　algorithm　greatly　improves　the　solving　efficiency　for　nonsymmetric　eigenvalue　problems.　Rigorous　theoretical　analysis　and　several　numerical　experiments　are　given　to　demonstrate　the　efficiency　of　our　algorithm.
