Abstract

This paper concerns the eigenvalues of the Neumann-Poincaré operator, a boundary integral operator associated with the harmonic double-layer potential. Specifically, we examine how the eigenvalues depend on the support of integration and prove that the map associating the support's shape to the eigenvalues is real-analytic. We then compute its first derivative and present applications of the resulting formula. The proposed method allows for handling infinite-dimensional perturbation parameters for multiple eigenvalues and perturbations that are not necessarily in the normal direction.
