The paper gives estimates for the variation of eigenvalues of Dirichlet problem for semielliptic operators with homogeneous boundary conditions upon variation of the boundary of the domain on which the problem is considered. Operators of arbitrary even order in each direction and open sets with Lipschitz smooth boundary are considered.

The paper proves that for any ε > 0 there exists ameasurable set E ⊂ [0, 1] with measure |E| > 1 − ε such that for each f ∈ L¹[0, 1] there is a function \(\tilde f \in {L^1}\left[ {0,1} \right]\) coinciding with f on E whose Fourier-Walsh series converges to \(\tilde f\) in L¹[0, 1]-norm, and the sequence \(\left\{ {\left| {{c_k}\left( {\tilde f} \right)} \right|} \right\}_{n = 0}^\infty \) is monotonically decreasing, where \(\left\{ {{c_k}\left( {\tilde f} \right)} \right\}\) is the sequence of Fourier-Walsh coefficients of \(\left\{ {\left| {{c_k}\left( {\tilde f} \right)} \right|} \right\}_{n = 0}^\infty \).

A simple proof of the proposition, stated in ([2], p. 346), asserting that in Hilbert spaces a Riesz basis is greedy, is given. Also, greedy approximant for frames in Hilbert spaces is defined and it is shown that frames satisfy the quasi greedy and almost greedy conditions. Finally, we give the characterizations of approximation spaces A^s(Ψ), A_q^s(Ψ) by means of weak-l_p and Lorentz sequence spaces for frames.
