The asymptotic behavior (as ε→0) of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a mixed boundary-value problem for the Laplace operator in a plane thick periodic junction with concentrated masses is investigated. This junction consists of the junction's body and a large number N=O(ε-1) of thin rods. The density of the junction is order O(ε-α) on the rods (the concentrated masses if α>0), and O(1) outside. The results depend on the value of the parameter α(α<2, α=2, or α>2). There are three kinds of vibrations, which are present in each of these cases: vibrations, whose energy is concentrated in the junction's body; vibrations, whose energy is concentrated on the thin rods; and vibrations (pseudovibrations), in which each thin rod can have its own frequency. The frequency range, where pseudovibrations can be present, is indicated. The asymptotic estimates for the corresponding eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are proved.

The paper presents the investigation of an eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator with Robin boundary condition in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. The case of boundary condition containing a real parameter is con- sidered. It is proved that multiplicity of the eigenvalue to the Robin problem for all values of the parameter greater than some number does not exceed the mul- tiplicity of the corresponding eigenvalue to the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace operator. For simple eigenvalue of the Dirichlet problem the convergence of eigen- function of the Robin problem to the eigenfunction of the Dirichlet problem for unlimited increase of the parameter is proved. The formula for derivative on the parameter for eigenvalues of the Robin problem is established. This formula is used to justify the asymptotic expansions of eigenvalues of the Robin problem for large positive values of the parameter.
