In this way we get asymptotic formulae for the eigenvalues of the latter operator even in the case when the underlying domain has an extremely irregular (fractal) boundary. In the case the boundary is not that irregular (e.g., when it is Lipschitz) the estimates we obtain are much better than the ones we can find in the current literature.}, subject = {Stokes-Problem}, language = {en} }
