Abstract

This paper deals with the very interesting problem about the influence of piecewise smooth boundary conditions on the distribution of the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian in R$^3$. The asymptotic expansion of the trace of the wave operator (equation omitted) for small |t| and i=√-1, where (equation omitted) are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian (equation omitted) in the (x$^1$, x$^2$, x$^3$)-space, is studied for an annular vibrating membrane $\Omega$ in R$^3$together with its smooth inner boundary surface S$_1$and its smooth outer boundary surface S$_2$. In the present paper, a finite number of Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions on the piecewise smooth components (equation omitted)(i = 1,...,m) of S$_1$and on the piecewise smooth components (equation omitted)(i = m +1,...,n) of S$_2$such that S$_1$= (equation omitted) and S$_2$= (equation omitted) are considered. The basic problem is to extract information on the geometry of the annular vibrating membrane $\Omega$ from complete knowledge of its eigenvalues by analysing the asymptotic expansions of the spectral function (equation omitted) for small |t|.
