/-- `Ω` has smooth boundary `Γ = frontier Ω`: near each boundary point, `Ω` is the
sublevel set `{ρ < 0}` of a C^∞ defining function `ρ` whose differential does not
vanish on `{ρ = 0}`. -/

/-- Variational form of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem (6.5) via (6.4)/(6.7):
`φ ∈ H₀¹`, `φ ≠ 0`, and `a(φ, v) = λ (φ, v)` for all `v ∈ H₀¹`, where
`a(u,v) = ∫_Ω ∇u·∇v dx` and `(u,v) = ∫_Ω u v dx`. -/

/-- `lam n` is the `n`-th eigenvalue of (6.5): the eigenvalues listed in nondecreasing
order and repeated according to multiplicity, i.e. there are L²-orthonormal
eigenfunctions `φ n` with eigenvalue `lam n`, and every eigenfunction with eigenvalue
`μ` has a nonzero component along some `φ n` with `lam n = μ` (so the `φ n` with
`lam n = μ` exhaust the eigenspace of `μ`, and every eigenvalue occurs). -/

eigenvalue problem (6.5) on a bounded domain `Ω ⊂ ℝ^d` with smooth boundary,

How to read the formalization

  • Divergence is expressed as a filter limit, rather than a finite lower bound.
