Abstract

We examine the location of the eigenvalues of the generator GG of a semi-group V(t)=etG,t0,V(t) = e^{tG},\: t \geq 0, related to the wave equation in an unbounded domain ΩRd\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^d with dissipative boundary condition νuγ(x)tu=0\partial_{\nu}u - \gamma(x) \partial_t u = 0 on Γ=Ω.\Gamma = \partial \Omega. We study two cases: (A):0<γ(x)<1,xΓ(A): \: 0 < \gamma(x) < 1,\: \forall x \in \Gamma and (B):1<γ(x),xΓ.(B):\: 1 < \gamma(x), \: \forall x \in \Gamma. We prove that for every 0<ϵ1,0 < \epsilon \ll 1, the eigenvalues of GG in the case (A)(A) lie in the region Λϵ={zC:zCϵ(z12+ϵ+1),z<0},\Lambda_{\epsilon} = \{z \in {\mathbb C}:\: |\Re z | \leq C_{\epsilon} (|\Im z|^{\frac{1}{2} + \epsilon} + 1), \: \Re z < 0\}, while in the case (B)(B) for every 0<ϵ10 < \epsilon \ll 1 and every NNN \in {\mathbb N} the eigenvalues lie in ΛϵRN,\Lambda_{\epsilon} \cup {\mathcal R}_N, where RN={zC:zCN(z+1)N,z<0}.{\mathcal R}_N = \{z \in {\mathbb C}:\: |\Im z| \leq C_N (|\Re z| + 1)^{-N},\: \Re z < 0\}.
