Courant-sharp Robin eigenvalues for the square -- the case with small Robin parameter--

Abstract

This article is the continuation of our first work on the determination of the cases where there is equality in Courant's Nodal Domain theorem in the case of a Robin boundary condition (with Robin parameter hh). For the square, our first paper focused on the case where hh is large and extended results that were obtained by Pleijel, B\'erard--Helffer, for the problem with a Dirichlet boundary condition. There, we also obtained some general results about the behaviour of the nodal structure (for planar domains) under a small deformation of hh, where hh is positive and not close to 00. In this second paper, we extend results that were obtained by Helffer--Persson-Sundqvist for the Neumann problem to the case where h>0h>0 is small.
