Distant perturbations of the Laplacian in a multi-dimensional space (Q2463351)

For \(i \in \{1,\dots,m\}\), let \(\Omega_{i}\) be bounded non-empty domains of \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\) with infinitely differentiable boundary, \({\mathcal{L}}_{i} \colon W^{2}_{2}(\Omega_{i})\rightarrow L^{2}(\Omega_{i})\) linear bounded operators such that \(\langle {\mathcal{L}}_{i} u_{1}, u_{2}\rangle = \langle u_{1}, {\mathcal{L}}_{i} u_{2} \rangle\), \(\langle {\mathcal{L}}_{i} u, u \rangle \geq -c_{0} | \nabla u| ^{2} - c_{1} | u| ^{2}\) for all \(u, \, u_{1}, \, u_{2} \in W^{2}_{2}(\Omega_{i})\), where \(c_{0} < 1\), \(\langle \; , \; \rangle\) and \(| \; | \) are the scalar product and the norm in \(L^{2}(\Omega)\), respectively. Let \(S(a)u = u(\cdot +a)\), where \(a \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n}\) and \(u \in L^{2}({\mathbb{R}}^{n}), \; X=(X_1, \dots ,X_m), \; X_i \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n}, \; {\mathcal{L}}_X=\sum_{i=1}^{m} S(-X_i){\mathcal{L}}_iS(X_i) \colon W^{2}_{2}(\Omega_X)\rightarrow L^{2}(\Omega_X), \; \Omega_X = \cup_{i=1}^{m} \{x: x-X_i \in \Omega_{i}\}, \; {\mathcal{H}}_X=- \Delta + {\mathcal{L}}_X: W^{2}_{2}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})\rightarrow L^{2}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})\). The author constructs the asymptotic expansions for the isolated eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions of \({\mathcal{H}}_X\) as \(\min \{| X_i-X_j| : i \neq j\} \rightarrow + \infty\).
