Aa. Kiselev et Bs. Pavlov, ESSENTIAL SPECTRUM OF THE LAPLACIAN FOR THE NEUMANN PROBLEM IN A MODEL REGION OF COMPLICATED STRUCTURE, Theoretical and mathematical physics, 99(1), 1994, pp. 383-395
A class of regions in which the Laplacian for the Neumann problem has
an essential spectrum is considered. The connection between the geomet
rical characteristics of the region and spectral properties of the Lap
lacian for the Neumann problem is studied in specific examples.
