On the location of the spectrum of a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace equation in a half-disk (Q2371641)

The author consider the following spectral problem \[ \begin{cases} u_{xx}+u_{yy}+\lambda ^{2}u = 0\text{ for }(x,y)\in D,\;u=0\text{ in }AB,\\ ru_{r}-ku_{\varphi }=0 \text{ and }u \in C(\overline{D})\cap C^{1}(\overline{D}\setminus \{A,B\})\cap C^{2}(D),\end{cases} \tag{1} \] where \(D\) is an open domain bounded by the semicircle \(\{(x,y)\in \mathbb R ^{2}\mid x^{2}+y^{2}=1,\) \(y>0\}\) and the segment \(AB\) with \(A=(-1,0)\) and \( B=(1,0)\), \(k\in \mathbb R\setminus 0\mathbb R\), \(\lambda \) is a complex parameter, \((r,\varphi )\) are polar cordinates. He proves that the eigenvalues of problem (1) do not lie in the Carleman parabola. More precisely, there exists a sequence of eigenvalues \(\lambda _{n}=\alpha _{n}+i\beta _{n}\) such that \(\alpha _{n}\) and \(\beta _{n}\) tend to \(+\) \( \infty ,\) and \(\beta _{n}/\alpha _{n}\) tends to \(+\) \(\infty .\)
