“…For more recent papers we refer to, e.g., [3,5,11,29,38,25]. Incidentally, we note that in [24] Lamberti and the second named author have considered the eigenvalues of problem (3) with fixed and constant permittivity ε = I 3 on a variable domain and proved a real analytic dependence upon variation of the shape of the domain. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the dependence of the eigenvalues λ j [ε] upon perturbation of ε has not yet been investigated.…”
