On the eigenvalue of the Laplacian in a domain perforated along the boundary (Q610553): Difference between revisions

From the text: We consider a singularly perturbed eigenvalue problem for the operator \(-\Delta\) in a two-dimensional domain that is periodically perforated along its boundary in the case when the diameter of the cavities, the distance between them, and the distance to the boundary are of the same order of smallness. A Dirichlet boundary condition is set on the boundaries of the cavities, while a Neumann boundary condition is specified on the remaining part of the boundary. For this problem, it can be shown that the homogenized problem is one in a domain without orifices with a Dirichlet boundary condition on that part of the boundary near which the small orifices were situated (a detailed proof of this convergence can be found in [the authors, Differ. Equ. 46, No.~5, 667--680 (2010); translation from Differ. Uravn. 46, No.~5, 665--677 (2010; Zbl 1206.35031)]). Concerning the displacement direction of the eigenvalue in this problem, variational considerations are also ineffective since the Dirichlet boundary conditions on the orifices are replaced in the limit by boundary conditions of the same type on part of the boundary.
