Using layer potential techniques, we rigorously find high-order asymptotic expansions of such solutions. We explicitly show the nonlinear interaction of many small absorbing targets. Based on the asymptotic theory for eigenvalue problems developed in \\cite{book}, we also construct high-order asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues of the Laplace and the drifted Laplace operators for mixed boundary conditions on large and small pieces of the boundary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-11T08:36:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B40", "92B05" ], "keywords": [ "layer potential techniques", "asymptotic expansion", "construct high-order asymptotic formulas", "narrow escape problem consists", "neumann boundary condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.2275A" } } }
