Let
be an open set in
d (d > 1) and let h(
) be the Fréchet space of harmonic functions on
. Given a bounded linear operator L : h (
)
h(
), we show that its eigenvalues
n, arranged in decreasing order and counting multiplicities, satisfy |
n|
K exp(–cn1/(d–1)), where K and c are two explicitly computable positive constants.
