An inverse eigenvalue problem for an arbitrary multiply connected bounded region: an extension to higher dimensions by E. M. E. Zayed

“…The basic problem in this paper is that of detemnining the geometry of an arbitrary multiply connected bounded region in R3 together with the mixed boundary conditions, from the complete knowledge of the eigenvalues {λj}j=1∞ for the negative Laplacian, using the asymptotic expansion of the spectral function θ(t)=∑j=1∞exp(−tλj) as t→0.…”

Regularized sum for eigenfunctions of multi-point problem in the commensurable case by S. A. Saleh

“…The aim of this work is to calculate the regularized sum which is given by the form: ∑(k)∑(s)[ρk,sσHk,s(x,ξ)−Rk,s(σ,x,ξ,ρ)]=Sσ(x,ξ)       (0,3) The above summation can be represented by the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the function G(x,ξ,ρ) in negative powers of k. In series (0.3) σ is an integer, while Rk,s(σ,x,ξ,ρ) is a function of variables x,ξ, and defined in the square [0,π]x[0,π] which ensure the convergence of the series (0.3).…”
