Let V be a connected, compact, differentiable Riemannian manifold. If V is not closed we denote its boundary by S. In terms of local coordinates (xi), i = 1, 2, … Ν, the line-element dr is given by where gik (x1, x2, … xN) are the components of the metric tensor on V We denote by Δ the Beltrami-Laplace-Operator and we consider on V the differential equation (1) Δu + λu = 0.
