Asymptotic behaviour of the scattering phase in linear elasticity. II (Q1269423)

The elasticity operator \(L\) is considered in \(\Omega\) -- the exterior of a strictly convex body with \(C^\infty\) smooth boundary. \(-L_D\) (resp. \(-L_N\)) denote the Dirichlet (resp. Neumann) realization of \(-L\) on \(L^2(\Omega, \mathbb{C}^n)\). Denote by \(s_j(\lambda)\) the scattering phase associated to \(-L_j\), \(j= D,N\). For \(s_D(\lambda)\) it was already obtained a complete asymptotics \[ s_D(\lambda)= \sum^{n-1}_{k= 0} a_k\lambda^{n- k}+ a_n\log\lambda+ O(1),\quad \lambda\to\infty \] and for \(s_N(\lambda)\) it was shown by the authors in a previous paper that \[ s_N(\lambda)= a_0\lambda''+ a_1'\lambda^{n- 1}+ r(\lambda), \] where \(r(\lambda)= O(\log\lambda)\) if \(n= 2\), \(r(\lambda)= O(\lambda^{n- 2})\) if \(n> 2\). The main result of this article is: in case of odd dimension \(n\geq 3\) there exists a function of the form \[ g(\lambda)= \sum^{n-1}_{k= 0} b_k\lambda^{n- k}+ b_n\log\lambda, \] where \(b_0= a_0\), such that for every \(p\gg 1\), \(0<\delta\ll 1\), we have \[ N(\lambda- \lambda^{-p})- O_{p,\delta}(1)- O(\lambda^\delta)\leq s_N(\lambda)- g(\lambda)\leq N(\lambda+ \lambda^{-p})- O_p(1), \] where \(N(\lambda)\) the counting function. The authors also consider the case of a body with analytic boundary.
