Uniform convergence of solutions to elliptic equations on domains with shrinking holes (Q2344307)

In this article, solutions of the Poisson equation on a variety of domains including holes shrinking to a point are considered. The authors prescribe on the boundary either Robin or Neumann conditions and prove that the solution converges uniformly to the solution of the Poisson equation on the same domain but without the holes. This is very surprising, since this uniform convergence is not valid for the case with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The given results improve earlier results dealing with \(L^p\)-convergence. Hence, they might be applicable to semi-linear problems.
