On the Robin eigenvalues of the Laplacian in the exterior of a convex polygon
Abstract: Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}2$ be the exterior of a convex polygon whose side lengths are $\ell_1,...,\ell_M$. For $\alpha>0$, let $H\Omega_\alpha$ denote the Laplacian in $\Omega$, $u\mapsto -\Delta u$, with the Robin boundary conditions $\partial u/\partial\nu =\alpha u$, where $\nu$ is the exterior unit normal at the boundary of $\Omega$. We show that, for any fixed $m\in\mathbb{N}$, the $m$th eigenvalue $E\Omega_m(\alpha)$ of $H\Omega_\alpha$ behaves as [ E\Omega_m(\alpha)=-\alpha2+\muD_m +\mathcal{O}\Big(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt\alpha}\Big) \quad {as $\alpha$ tends to $+\infty$}, ] where $\muD_m$ stands for the $m$th eigenvalue of the operator $D_1\oplus...\oplus D_M$ and $D_n$ denotes the one-dimensional Laplacian $f\mapsto -f"$ on $(0,\ell_n)$ with the Dirichlet boundary conditions.
