Abstract: We numerically compute the lowest Laplacian eigenvalues of several two-dimensional shapes with dihedral symmetry at arbitrary precision arithmetic. Our approach is based on the method of particular solutions with domain decomposition. We are particularly interested in asymptotic expansions of the eigenvalues lambda(n) of shapes with n edges that are of the form lambda(n)simxsumk=0inftyfracCk(x)nk where x is the limiting eigenvalue for nightarrowinfty. Expansions of this form have previously only been known for regular polygons with Dirichlet boundary condition and (quite surprisingly) involve Riemann zeta values and single-valued multiple zeta values, which makes them interesting to study. We provide numerical evidence for closed-form expressions of higher order Ck(x) and give more examples of shapes for which such expansions are possible (including regular polygons with Neumann boundary condition, regular star polygons and star shapes with sinusoidal boundary).
