Spectrum of the weighted Laplace operator in unbounded domains
Alexey V. Filinovskiy · Mathematica Bohemica · 2011
We investigate the spectral properties of the differential operator $-r^s \Delta $, $s\ge 0$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition in unbounded domains whose boundaries satisfy some geometrical condition. Considering this operator as a self-adjoint operator in the space with the norm $\|u\|^2_{L_{2, s} (\Omega )}= \int _{\Omega } r^{-s} |u|^2 {\rm d} x $, we study the structure of the spectrum with respect to the parameter $s$. Further we give an estimate of the rate of condensation of discrete spectra when it changes to continuous.
