Abstract

In this paper we present a couple of old and new results related to the problem of large coupling convergence. Several aspects of convergence are discussed, namely norm resolvent convergence as well as convergence within Schatten-von Neumann classes. We also discuss the rate of convergence with a special emphasis on the optimal rate of convergence, for which we give necessary and sufficient conditions. The collected results are then used for the case of Dirichlet operators. Our method is purely analytical and is supported by a wide variety of examples.
