Abstract
The behaviour of the eigenvalues of the spectral second-order differentiation operator is studied and the results are used to investigate the boundary observability of the one dimensional wave equation approximated with a spectral Galerkin method. New explicit estimates of the discrete eigenvalues are given. These estimates improve the previous results on the subject especially for the portion of eigenvalues converging exponentially to those of the continuous problem. Although the boundary observability property of the discretized wave equation is not uniform with respect to the discretization parameter, we show that a uniform observability estimate can be obtained by filtering out the highest eigenmodes.
