Abstract

In this work we show that in general there is no Courant-like bound for Neumann domain count. In order to do that we construct a sequence of domains Ωn\Omega^n such that the first Dirichlet eigenfunction for Ωn\Omega^n has at least nn Neumann domains. Also a special case of convex domains is considered and sufficient conditions for existence of Courant-like bound for small eigenvalues are found.
