A variational characterization for the shift of eigenvalues caused by a general type of perturbation is derived for second order self-adjoint elliptic differential operators. This result allows the direct extension of asymptotic formulae from simple eigenvalues to repeated ones. Some examples of particular interest are presented theoretically and numerically for the Laplacian operator for the following domain perturbations: excision of a small hole, local change of conductivity, small boundary deformation.

Using the compactness of an imbedding for weighted Sobolev spaces (that is, a Hardy-type inequality), it is shown how the assumption of monotonicity can be weakened still guaranteeing the pseudo-monotonicity of certain nonlinear degenerated or singular elliptic differential operators. The result extends analogous assertions for elliptic operators.

SynopsisThe paper gives asymptotic estimates of the formas λ→∞ for the length l(μ)of a gap, centre μ in the essential spectrum associated with second-order singular differential operators. The integer r will be shown to depend on the differentiability properties of the coefficients in the operators and, in fact, r increases with the increasing differentiability of the coefficients. The results extend to all r ≧ – 2 the long-standing ones of Hartman and Putnam [10], who dealt with r = 0, 1, 2.
