Abstract

By Birman and Skvortsov it is known that if \Omegasf\Omegasf is a planar curvilinear polygon with nn non-convex corners then the Laplace operator with domain H2(\Omegasf)H01(\Omegasf)H^2(\Omegasf)\cap H^1_0(\Omegasf) is a closed symmetric operator with deficiency indices (n,n)(n,n). Here we provide a Kre\u\i n-type resolvent formula for any self-adjoint extensions of such an operator, i.e. for the set of self-adjoint non-Friedrichs Dirichlet Laplacians on \Omegasf\Omegasf, and show that any element in this set is the norm resolvent limit of a suitable sequence of Friedrichs-Dirichlet Laplacians with nn point interactions.
