Abstract

Consider the Dirichlet-Laplacian in Ω:=(0,L)×(0,H)\Omega:= (0,L)\times (0,H) and choose another open set ωΩ\omega\subset \Omega. The estimate 0<CωRω(u):=uL2(ω)2uL2(Ω)2vol(ω)vol(ω)0<C_{\omega}\leq R_{\omega}(u):=\frac{\Vert u\Vert^{2}_{L^{2}(\omega)}}{\Vert u\Vert^{2}_{L^{2}(\Omega)}}\leq \frac{vol(\omega)}{vol(\omega)}, for all the eigenfunctions, is well known. This is no longer true for an inhomogeneous elliptic selfadjoint operator AA. In this work we create a partition among the set of eigenfunctions: ω\forall \omega, the eigenfunctions satisfy Romega>Cω>0,ω,ωR_{omega}>C_{\omega}>0,\exists \omega, \omega\not=\emptyset, such that infRω(u)=0\inf R_{\omega}(u)=0,and we wish to characterize these two sets. For two patterns we give a sufficient condition, sometimes necessary. As our operator corresponds to a layered media we can give another representation of its spectrum: i.e. a subset of points of R×RR\times R that leads to the suggested partition and others connected results: micro local interpretation, default measures,... Section 4.1 of the previous version was not correct, now it is corrected, many proofs are simplified and a new general result is added.

Comments

in French, 34 pages. Rehandled version of arXiv:1911.09947 since the results of section 4.1 was false. This section becomes section 3.1 with new statement and proof. Others modifications: new Theorems, corollaries and lemmas and new numerotation. As a result, we have profoundly changed the Introduction
