Abstract We numerically investigate the generalized Steklov problem for the modified Helmholtz equation and focus on the relation between its spectrum and the geometric structure of the domain. We address three distinct aspects: (i) the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues for polygonal domains; (ii) the dependence of the integrals of eigenfunctions on domain symmetries; and (iii) the localization and exponential decay of Steklov eigenfunctions away from the boundary for smooth shapes and in the presence of corners. For this purpose, we implemented two complementary numerical methods to compute the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for planar bounded domains. We also discuss applications of the obtained results in the theory of diffusion-controlled reactions and formulate conjectures with relevance in spectral geometry.
