Let Ω⊂ R2 be the exterior of a convex polygon whose side lengths are l1, . . . , lM. For a real constant α , let HαΩ denote the Laplacian in Ω, u → -Δu with the Robin boundary conditions ∂u/∂v = αu at ∂Ω, where v is the outer unit normal. We show that, for any fixed m∈N, the mth eigenvalue EmΩ(α) of HαΩ behaves as EmΩ(α) = -α2 + μmD + O(α-1/2) as α → +∞ where μmD stands for the mth eigenvalue of the operator D1 ⊕ . . . ⊕ DM and Dn denotes the one-dimensional Laplacian f → -f” on (0,ln) with the Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Keywords: eigenvalue asymptotics, Laplacian, Robin boundary condition, Dirichlet boundary condition.
