$\delta'$-interaction as a limit of a thin Neumann waveguide with transversal window
Giuseppe Cardone, Andrii Khrabustovskyi · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2018
We consider a waveguide-like domain consisting of two thin straight tubular domains connected through a tiny window. The perpendicular size of this waveguide is of order $\varepsilon$. Under the assumption that the window is appropriately scaled we prove that the Neumann Laplacian on this domain converges in (a kind of) norm resolvent sense as $\varepsilon\to 0$ to a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator corresponding to a $\delta'$-interaction of a non-negative strength. We estimate the rate of this convergence, also we prove the convergence of spectra.
