With this in mind, problem (8) is convenient to be taken in the operator
fonn A y = A y. The operator A so defined is self-adjoint and nonnegative:
A= A*,
where 6. =Amax= 4(h;^2 + h;^2 ).
Observe that the operators A 1 and A 2 are commuting and self-adjoint
both for the first and second boundary-value problems. The methodology of
the general theory (see Chapter 2, Section 1) guides the choice of a common
system of eigenfunctions coinciding with the system of eigenfunctions for
the operator A = A 1 + A 2 ; in so doing, each eigenvalue of the operator A is
equal to a sum of the appropriate eigenvalues of the operators A 1 and A2:
- The Laplace operator in a domain consisting of rectangles. We now
consider a domain consisting of a finite number of rectangles, whose sides
are parallel to the coordinate axes as shown in Fig. 14.
