Asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem in a domain with a narrow slit

The Dirichlet problem in a two-dimensional domain with a narrow slit is studied. The width of the slit is a small parameter. The complete asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalue of the perturbed problem converging to a simple eigenvalue of the limiting problem is constructed by means of the method of matched asymptotic expansions. It is shown that the regular perturbation theory can formally be applied in a natural way up to terms of order {epsilon}{sup 2}. However, the result obtained in that way is false. The correct result can be obtained only by means of an inner asymptotic expansion.
