Connection of eigenspace of finite Hilbert matrix and its continuous operator counterpart
I am trying to understand the connection between the eigenspace of the continuous operator
$$
H(x,y) = \frac{1}{x+y}
$$
which is nothing but the square of the Laplace operator, and its discrete ...

Why $M_1 \subset M_2 \not \Rightarrow N_{M_1} (\lambda) \leq N_{M_2} (\lambda)$ for eigenvalue problem? (EDIT)
We know that for a direct problem with Dirichlet Boundary Condition (with Laplacian operator) that if two domains $M_1$ and $M_2$ are such that $M_1 \subset M_2$, then $\lambda(M_2) \leq \lambda(M_1)$,...
