Abstract: We investigate the spectral properties of the differential operator $-r^s \Delta$, $s\ge0$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition in unbounded domains whose boundaries satisfy some geometrical condition. Considering this operator as a self-adjoint operator in the space with the norm $\|u\|^2_{L_{2, s} (\Omega)}= \int_{\Omega} r^{-s} |u|^2   d x $, we study the structure of the spectrum with respect to the parameter $s$. Further we give an estimate of the rate of condensation of discrete spectra when it changes to continuous.

Keywords: Laplace operator, multiplicative perturbation, Dirichlet problem, Friedrichs extension, purely discrete spectra, purely continuous spectra
