Two-term Spectral Asymptotics for the Dirichlet Laplacian on a Bounded Domain

چکیده
Let −∆ denote the Dirichlet Laplace operator on a bounded open set in Rd. We study the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the operator −h∆− 1 in the semiclassical limit h → 0+. We give a new proof that yields not only the first term of the asymptotic formula but also the second term involving the surface area of the boundary of the set. The proof is valid under weak smoothness assumptions on the boundary.

On the Spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a Narrow Strip
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian ∆ in a family of bounded domains {−a < x < b, 0 < y < h(x)}. The main assumption is that x = 0 is the only point of global maximum of the positive, continuous function h(x). We find the two-term asymptotics in → 0 of the eigenvalues and the one-term asymptotics of the corresponding eigenfunctions. The asymptotic formulae obtained involve the eigenvalues and e...

Let Ω be a C∞-smooth bounded domain of R, n ≥ 1, and let the matrix a ∈ C(Ω;R 2 ) be symmetric and uniformly elliptic. We consider the L(Ω)-realization A of the operator −div(a∇·) with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We perturb A by some real valued potential V ∈ C∞ 0 (Ω) and note AV = A + V . We compute the asymptotic expansion of tr ( eV − e ) as t ↓ 0 for any matrix a whose coefficients are h...
متن کاملSpectral asymptotics of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a conical layer
The spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on conical layers is analysed through two aspects: the infiniteness of the discrete eigenvalues and their expansions in the small aperture limit. On the one hand, we prove that, for any aperture, the eigenvalues accumulate below the threshold of the essential spectrum: For a small distance from the essential spectrum, the number of eigenvalues farther fro...
متن کاملOn the Spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a Narrow Infinite Strip
This is a continuation of the paper [3]. We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a family of unbounded domains {x ∈ R, 0 < y < h(x)}. The main assumption is that x = 0 is the only point of global maximum of the positive, continuous function h(x). We show that the number of eigenvalues lying below the essential spectrum indefinitely grows as → 0, and find the two-term asymptotics in → 0 of each e...
متن کاملON THE SPECTRUM OF THE DIRICHLET LAPLACIAN IN A NARROW STRIP, by Leonid Friedlander and Michael Solomyak
There are several reasons why the study of the spectrum of the Laplacian in a narrow neighborhood of an embedded graph is interesting. The graph can be embedded into a Euclidean space or it can be embedded into a manifold. In his pioneering work [3], Colin de Verdière used Riemannian metrics concentrated in a small neighborhood of a graph to prove that for every manifold M of dimension greater ...
