Spectral convergence of Neumann Laplacian perturbed by an infinite set of curved holes

Abstract

We propose the novel spectral properties of the Neumann Laplacian in a two-dimensional bounded domain perturbed by an infinite number of compact sets with zero Lebesgue measure, so-called curved holes. These holes consist of segments or parts of curves enclosed in small spheres such that the diameters of holes tend to zero as the number of holes approaches infinity. Specifically, we rigorously demonstrate that the spectrum of the Neumann Laplacian on the perturbed domain converges to that of the original operator on the domain without holes under specific geometric assumptions and an appropriate selection of hole sizes. Furthermore, we derive sophisticated estimates on the convergence rate in terms of operator norms and estimate the Hausdorff distance between the spectra of the Laplacians.
