Hausdorff measure bounds for nodal sets of Steklov eigenfunctions

Analysis of PDEs 2024-05-22 v2 Spectral Theory

Abstract

We study nodal sets of Steklov eigenfunctions in a bounded domain with C2\mathcal{C}^2 boundary. Our first result is a lower bound for the Hausdorff measure of the nodal set: we show that for uλu_{\lambda} a Steklov eigenfunction, with eigenvalue λ0\lambda\neq 0, Hd1({uλ=0})cΩ\mathcal{H}^{d-1}(\{u_{\lambda}=0\})\geq c_{\Omega}, where cΩc_{\Omega} is independent of λ\lambda. We also prove an almost sharp upper bound, namely Hd1({uλ=0})CΩλlog(λ+e)\mathcal{H}^{d-1}(\{u_{\lambda}=0\})\leq C_{\Omega}\lambda\log(\lambda+e).
