Abstract: This purpose of this write-up is to share an idea for accurate computation of Laplace eigenvalues on a broad class of smooth domains. We represent the eigenfunction $u$ as a linear combination of eigenfunctions corresponding to the common eigenvalue $h{o}^2$:EQN{6}{1}{}{0}{RD{CELL{u(r, heta) =sum_{n=0}^{N}P_{n}J_{n}( ho) cos n heta,}}{1}{}{}{}}We adjust the coefficients $P_n$ and the parameter $ho$ so that the zero level set of $u$ approximates the domain of interest. For some domains, such as ellipses of modest eccentricity, the coefficients $P_n$ decay exponentially and the proposed method can be used to compute eigenvalues with arbitrarily high accuracy.
