Eigenvalue asymptotics for potential type operators on Lipschitz surfaces of codimension greater than 1

Grigori Rozenblum
Grigory Tashchiyan

Abstract. For potential type integral operators on a Lipschitz submanifold the asymptotic formula for eigenvalues is proved. The reasoning is based upon the study of the rate of operator convergence as smooth surfaces approximate the Lipschitz one.

Keywords: integral operators, potential theory, eigenvalue asymptotics.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 47G40, 35P20.
