Introduction:
TheLaplaceequationisoneofthemostimportantpartialdifferentialequationsinmathematicalphysicsandengineering.Itisusedtodescribethesteady-statebehaviorofclassicalfieldssuchaselectrostatics,fluiddynamics,heattransfer,andelasticity.OneofthekeyfeaturesoftheLaplaceequationisthatitislinearandhomogenous,whichmakesitamenabletospectralanalysistechniquessuchasFourieranalysis.TheLaplaceoperatorisdefinedasfollows:
Δu=∇²u=∑ᵢ∂²u/∂xᵢ²
whereΔistheLaplaceoperator,uisthefunctionofinterest,and∇isthegradientoperator.Inthispaper,weconsidertheLaplaceoperatorwithmixedboundaryconditions.
MixedBoundaryConditions:

SpectrumoftheLaplaceOperatorwithMixedBoundaryConditions:
ThespectralanalysisoftheLaplaceoperatorwithmixedboundaryconditionsinvolvesfindingtheeigenvaluesandeigenfunctionsoftheoperator.Theeigenvalueproblemisdefinedasfollows:
