Chaigneau's asymptotic conjecture for curvilinear polygons

Let a curvilinear polygon have nn vertices with interior angles α1,,αn\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_n. For α(0,2π)\alpha\in(0,2\pi), define

k(α):=max{k{0}N:2k1<πα}\overline{k}(\alpha):=\max\left\{k\in\{0\}\cup\mathbb{N}:2k-1<\frac{\pi}{\alpha}\right\}

and

C(α):={if απ,{sinα2,sin3α2,,sin(2k(α)1)α2}if k(α)>0.\mathcal{C}(\alpha):=\begin{cases} \varnothing&\text{if }\alpha\ge\pi,\\ \left\{\sin\frac{\alpha}{2},\sin\frac{3\alpha}{2},\dots,\sin\frac{(2\overline{k}(\alpha)-1)\alpha}{2}\right\}&\text{if }\overline{k}(\alpha)>0. \end{cases}

Form the multiset C~=i=1nC(αi)\widetilde{\mathcal{C}}=\bigcup_{i=1}^n\mathcal{C}(\alpha_i), let K:=i=1nk(αi)K:=\sum_{i=1}^n\overline{k}(\alpha_i), arrange its positive elements as c~1c~K\widetilde{c}_1\le\dots\le\widetilde{c}_K, and set c~k:=1\widetilde{c}_k:=1 for k>Kk>K. Chaigneau's asymptotic conjecture. For any curvilinear polygon, the asymptotics of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalues hold with

ck=c~k,kN.c_k=\widetilde{c}_k,\qquad k\in\mathbb{N}.

This conjecture extends the known asymptotic description to all eigenvalues of an arbitrary curvilinear polygon; the source identifies it as an open question.
