Body resonances for classical waves

Andrea Mantile, Andrea Posilicano

Abstract

We provide a detailed study of the spectral properties of the linear operator $H(\varepsilon)=-(\varepsilon^{2}χ_{Ω_{\varepsilon}}+χ_{Ω^{c}_{\varepsilon}})Δ$ modeling, through the wave equation $(\partial_{tt}+H(\varepsilon))u=0$, the dynamics of acoustic waves in the presence of a small inhomogeneity of size $\varepsilon$ having high contrast $\varepsilon^{-2}$. In particular, we give precise results on the localization of the resonances of $H(\varepsilon)$ and their first-order $\varepsilon$-expansions; the latter are explicitly expressed in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Newton potential operator of the set $Ω$ whose rescaling of size $\varepsilon$ defines $Ω_{\varepsilon}$.

Key Result

Theorem \oldthetheorem

Let $\lambda_{\circ}\in\sigma_{disc}(N_{0})$ with $\dim(\ker(\lambda_{\circ}-N_{0}))=m$; let $e_{j}^{\circ}$, $1\leq j\leq m$, be the corresponding orthonormal eigenvectors. Then, whenever $\varepsilon$ is sufficiently small, close to $\lambda_{\circ}^{-1}$ there are $m$ (not necessarily distinct) r
