Spectral asymptotics in eigenvalue problems with nonlinear dependence on the spectral parameter

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study asymptotic distribution of eigen-values omega of a quadratic operator polynomial of the following form (omega2−L(omega))phiomega=0, where L(omega) is a second order differential positive elliptic operator with quadratic dependence on the spectral parameter omega. We derive asymptotics of the spectral density in this problem and show how to compute coefficients of its asymptotic expansion from coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel of L(omega). The leading term in the spectral asymptotics is the same as for a Laplacian in a cavity. The results have a number of physical applications. We illustrate them by examples of field equations in external stationary gravitational and gauge backgrounds.
