Abstract
We consider a self-adjoint differential operator in the Hilbert space. The domain of the operator is changed by the perturbation of the boundary conditions so that a given neighborhood “there are no eigenvalues on neighborhood of zero” from the points of the spectrum of the perturbed operator. For the Sturm-Liouville operator on the segment and the Laplace operator on the square such a possibility is achieved through integral perturbations of boundary conditions. These statements are given with full proofs, and with a possible extension.
