Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the upper bounds for the Hausdorff measures of nodal sets of eigenfunctions with the Robin boundary conditions, i.e., \begin{equation*} {\left\{\begin{array}{l} \triangle u+\lambda u=0,\quad in\quad \Omega,\\ u_{\nu}+\mu u=0,\quad on\quad\partial\Omega, \end{array} \right.} \end{equation*} where the domain ΩRn\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n, uνu_{\nu} means the derivative of uu along the outer normal direction of Ω\partial\Omega. We show that, if Ω\Omega is bounded and analytic, and the corresponding eigenvalue λ\lambda is large enough,then the measure upper bounds for the nodal sets of eigenfunctions are CλC\sqrt{\lambda}, where CC is a positive constant depending only on nn and Ω\Omega but not on μ\mu We also show that, if Ω\partial\Omega is CC^{\infty} smooth and ΩΓ\partial\Omega\setminus\Gamma is piecewise analytic, where ΓΩ\Gamma\subseteq\partial\Omega is a union of some n2n-2 dimensional submanifolds of Ω\partial\Omega, μ>0\mu>0, and λ\lambda is large enough, then the corresponding measure upper bounds for the nodal sets of uu are C(λ+μα+μcα)C(\sqrt{\lambda}+\mu^{\alpha}+\mu^{-c\alpha}) for some positive number α\alpha, where cc is a positive constant depending only on nn, and CC is a positive constant depending on nn, Ω\Omega, Γ\Gamma and α\alpha.
