Leal, C.; Sanchez-Hubert, J. Perturbation of the eigenvalues of a membrane with a concentrated mass. (English) Zbl 0685.73025 Q. Appl. Math. 47, No. 1, 93-103 (1989). Summary: We study a vibrating membrane with a distribution of density depending on \(\epsilon\), which converges, as \(\epsilon\) \(\searrow 0\), to a uniform density, plus a point mass at the origin. We establish local vibrations at the vicinity of the origin and global vibrations of the membrane. The asymptotic study for \(\epsilon\) \(\searrow 0\) is performed using the method of matched asymptotic expansions.
