Asymptotics of Hadamard type for eigenvalues of the Neumann problem on \(C^1\)-domains for elliptic operators (Q500450)

Let \(\Omega_{1}\) and \(\Omega_{2}\) be bounded open subsets of \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\) such that the spectrum of the Neumann Laplace operator is discrete both in \(\Omega_{1}\) and \(\Omega_{2}\). The author considers an eigenvalue \(\Lambda_{m}(\Omega_{1})\) of the Neumann Laplace operator in \(\Omega_{1}\) and proves an estimate for the difference between \(\Lambda_{m}(\Omega_{1})\) and the eigenvalues \(\Lambda_{k}(\Omega_{2})\) of the Neumann Laplace operator in \(\Omega_{2}\) which are close to \(\Lambda_{m}(\Omega_{1})\) in terms of the Hausdorff distance \(d\) between \(\Omega_{1}\) and \(\Omega_{2}\) under the assumption that \(\Omega_{1}\) is of class \(C^{1}\) and \(\Omega_{2}\) is a Lipschitz perturbation of \(\Omega_{1}\) and under the assumption that \(\Omega_{1}\) is of class \(C^{1,\alpha}\) for some \(\alpha\in]0,1]\) and \(\Omega_{2}\) is a \(C^{1}\) perturbation of \(\Omega_{1}\). The paper extends previous work of the author with \textit{V. Kozlov} [J. Spectr. Theory, Vol. 6, 99--135 (2016)] where Lipschitz and \(C^{1,\alpha}\) domains had been considered. Reviewer's remark: The reviewer likes to point out that \textit{V. Burenkov} and \textit{P. D. Lamberti} [in: Sobolev spaces in mathematics II. Applications in analysis and partial differential equations. New York, NY: Springer; Novosibirsk: Tamara Rozhkovskaya Publisher. 69--102 (2009; Zbl 1219.35154)] had proved related estimates for the eigenvalues of elliptic operators of degree \(2\) and higher for sets of class \(C^{0}\) in terms of a vicinity characteristic akin to the Hausdorff distance, by generalizing previous work of \textit{V. I. Burenkov} and \textit{E. B. Davies} for the Neumann Laplace operator on open sets of class \(C^{0,\alpha}\) [J. Differ. Equations 186, No. 2, 485--508 (2002; Zbl 1042.35035)].
