Weyl formula for the eigenvalues of the dissipative acoustic operator

Abstract: We study the wave equation in the exterior of a bounded domain

K

with dissipative boundary condition

p a r t i a l_{u} u - g a m m a (x) p a r t i a l_{t} u = 0

on the boundary

G a m m a

and

g a m m a (x) > 0.

The solutions are described by a contraction semigroup

V (t) = e^{t G}, : t g e q 0.

The eigenvalues

l a m b d a_{k}

of

G

with

m R e : l a m b d a_{k} < 0

yield asymptotically disappearing solutions

u (t, x) = e^{l a m b d a_{k} t} f (x)

having exponentially decreasing global energy. We establish a Weyl formula for these eigenvalues in the case

m i n_{x i n G a m m a} g a m m a (x) > 1.

For strictly convex obstacles

K

this formula concerns all eigenvalues of

G .
