Il a été démontré par Sylvester (2011) [10] que l'ensemble des valeurs propres intérieures de transmission constitue un ensemble discret si le contraste ne change pas de signe dans un voisinage du bord. Nous donnons une preuve plus élémentaire de ce fait en utilisant les conditions classiques « inf–sup » de Babuška–Brezzi.

It has been shown by Sylvester (2011) [10] that the set of interior transmission eigenvalues forms a discrete set if the contrast does not change its sign in a neighborhood of the boundary. In this short note, we give a more elementary proof of this fact using the classical inf–sup conditions of Babuška–Brezzi.
