Keywords:
Laplace operator; multiplicative perturbation; Dirichlet problem; Friedrichs extension; purely discrete spectra; purely continuous spectra
Summary:
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.
