Abstract: In this article, we are concerned with the following eigenvalue problem of a linear second order elliptic operator: �egin{equation}

onumber -DDelta phi -2alpha abla m(x)cdot

ablaphi+V(x)phi=lambdaphi hbox{ in }Omega, end{equation} complemented by a general boundary condition including Dirichlet boundary condition and Robin boundary condition: ${\displaystyle }$ frac{partialphi}{partial n}+�eta(x)phi=0 hbox{ on }partialOmega, ${\displaystyle }$ where $$ allows to be positive, sign-changing or negative, and $n(x)$ is the unit exterior normal to $partialOmega$ at $x$. The domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^N$ is bounded and smooth, the constants $D>0$ and $alpha>0$ are, respectively, the diffusive and advection coefficients, and $$ are given functions. We aim to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue of the above eigenvalue problem as the diffusive coefficient $Do0$ or $Doinfty$. Our results, together with those of cite{CL2,DF,Fr} where the Nuemann boundary case (i.e., $$ on $partialOmega$) and Dirichlet boundary case were studied, reveal the important effect of advection and boundary conditions on the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue. We also apply our results to a reaction-diffusion-advection equation which is used to describe the evolution of a single species living in a heterogeneous stream environment and show some interesting behaviors of the species persistence and extinction caused by the buffer zone and small/large diffusion rate.
