Das Ausstrahlungsproblem für elliptische Differentialgleichungen in Gebieten mit unbeschränkten Rand.
After introducing the notion of capacity in a general Hilbert space setting we look at the spectral bound of an arbitrary self-adjoint and semi-bounded operator . If is subjected to a domain perturbation the spectrum is shifted to the right. We show that the magnitude of this shift can be estimated in terms of the capacity. We improve the upper bound on the shift which was given in Capacity in abstract Hilbert spaces and applications to higher order differential operators (Comm. P. D. E., 24:759–775,...
