Abstract:
We consider the eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian (Neumann B.C.) in the domain which has a very thin subregion. We give an elaborate characterization of the asymptotics of theeigenvalues and the eigenfunctions. The perturbation formulas take various forms depending on the type of the eigenvalue and geometric situations (dimension, shape).

Keywords: Singularly perturbed domain, Laplacian, eigenvalues, asymptotic behavior
