Review text

The authors consider a bounded region \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2\) built up by infinitely many squares and rectangles (`rooms and passages'), where the imbedding of the Sobolev space \(H^1(\Omega)\) into \(L_2(\Omega)\) is not compact, and where the (negative) Neumann Laplacian (restricted to the orthogonal complement of the constant functions) exhibits an essential spectrum. The main purpose of this paper is the establishment of a framework for the computational determination of essential spectra using finite-dimensional approximations to both, the operator and the region on which he acts. For seven subregions \(\Omega_1\subset\cdots\subset \Omega_7\subset \Omega\), the 12 lowest eigenvalues together with their eigenfunctions are computed. The numerical results are discussed with respect to a seemingly existing point of accumulation.
