Abstract

In this paper we study spectral stability of the \(\bar{\partial }\)-Neumann Laplacian under the Kohn–Nirenberg elliptic regularization. We obtain quantitative estimates for stability of the spectrum of the \(\bar{\partial }\)-Neumann Laplacian when either the operator or the underlying domain is perturbed.
