Abstract: An analytical perturbative method is suggested for solving the Helmholtz equation (�igtriangledown^{2} + k^{2}){psi} = 0 in two dimensions where {psi} vanishes on an irregular closed curve. We can thus find the energy levels of a quantum mechanical particle confined in an infinitely deep potential well in two dimensions having an irregular boundary or the vibration frequencies of a membrane whose edge is an irregular closed curve. The method is tested by calculating the energy levels for an elliptical and a supercircular boundary and comparing with the results obtained numerically. Further, the phenomenon of level crossing due to shape variation is also discussed.
