On the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of a Robin problem. (Q636913)

The authors prove that every eigenvalue of a Robin problem \(-\Delta u=\lambda u\) in \(\Omega \), \(\frac {\partial u}{\partial \nu }=\alpha u\) on \(\partial \Omega ,\) where \(\alpha \) is a positive boundary parameter and \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\) is a bounded domain of class \(C^1,\) behaves asymptotically like \(-\alpha ^2\) as \(\alpha \rightarrow \infty \). This generalizes an existing result for the first eigenvalue.
