The lecture course deals with spectral properties of differential operators in domains with very complicated geometry (see the figures). Our tools are the methods of asymptotic analysis and perturbation theory allowing to reduce initial complicated problems to more simple ones.
In the first part of the course we treat some abstract topics:
- Various types of resolvent convergence and their properties,
- Spectral convergence
- Convergence in varying Hilbert spaces
- Min-max principle and its applications.
Then, in the second part, we apply these methods to the main object of our interest – eigenvalue problems in domains with complicated geometry. The following topics will be treated:
- Eigenvalue problems in varying domains: general results.
- Laplace operator in a domain with a hole. Capacity.
- Homogenization in perforated domains.
- Eigenvalue problems in thin domains. Dumbbell-shape domains. Quantum graphs.
Requirements: Basic knowledges in functional analysis (Banach and Hilbert spaces, linear operators, weak and strong convergences etc.) and partial differential equations (Sobolev spaces, weak solutions etc.)
