On the asymptotics of a Robin eigenvalue problem

Abstract

The considered Robin problem can formally be seen as a small perturbation of a Dirichlet problem. However, due to the sign of the impedance value, its associated eigenvalues converge point-wise to $-\infty$ as the perturbation goes to zero. We prove that in this case, Dirichlet eigenpairs are the only accumulation points of the Robin eigenpairs with normalized eigenvectors. We then provide a criteria to select accumulating sequences of eigenvalues and eigenvectors and exhibit their full asymptotic with respect to the small parameter.
