Rayleigh quotient for Robin boundary condition

39 Views Asked by At

I'm reading Walter Strauss' PDE book. In section 11.4 he said that the Rayleigh quotient of the following Robin eigenvalue problem

$$ \begin{cases} -\nabla\cdot(p\nabla u) + qu = \lambda mu, & \text{in }D \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial n} + au = 0, & \text{on }\partial D \end{cases} $$

is

$$ Q = \frac{\int_D p|\nabla w|^2+qw^2 dx + \int_{\partial D} aw^2 dS}{\int_D mw^2 dx}. $$

I'm wondering whether there is a typo. I think the numerator should be

$$ \int_D p|\nabla w|^2+qw^2 dx + \int_{\partial D} \color{red}paw^2 dS. $$

Am I right?
