Abstract The paper deals with the Robin function and eigenvalue problems generated by the Robin operator. First we show that Green's function of an 𝑛-fold connected domain is the Robin function of an appropriate simply connected domain. The main part of the paper deals with eigenvalue problems for the Robin operator: the mixed Stekloff eigenvalue problem and the membrane problem with mixed boundary conditions. Isoperimetric inequalities are proved for the sum of reciprocal eigenvalues.

Let D be a bounded, simply connected domain in the plane R2 that is starlike with respect to the origin and has C2, α boundary, ∂D, described by the equation in polar coordinateswhere C2, α denotes the space of twice Hölder continuously differentiable functions of index α. In this paper, it is shown that any solution of the Helmholtz equationin D can be approximated in the space by an entire Herglotz wave functionwith kernel g ∈ L2[0,2π] having support in an interval [0, η] with η chosen arbitrarily in 0 > η < 2π.
