Stability and approximations of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the Neumann Laplacian, part I

Rodrigo Bañuelos, Michael M. H. Pang

Abstract:
We investigate stability and approximation properties of the lowest nonzero eigenvalue and corresponding eigenfunction of the Neumann Laplacian on domains satisfying a heat kernel bound condition. The results and proofs in this paper will be used and extended in a sequel paper to obtain stability results for domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with a snowflake type boundary.
