Abstract
I consider Dirichlet eigenvalues for an elliptic system in a region that consists of two domains joined by a thin tube. Under quite general conditions, I am able to give a rate on the convergence of the eigenvalues as the tube shrinks away. I make no assumption on the smoothness of the coefficients and only mild assumptions on the boundary of the domain.
Also, I consider the Green function associated with the mixed problem on a Lipschitz domain with a general decomposition of the boundary. I show that the Green function is Hölder continuous, which shows how a solution to the mixed problem behaves.
