Precise asymptotics known for the Green's function of the Laplace operator have found their analogs for periodic elliptic operators of the second order at and below the bottom of the spectrum. Due to the band-gap structure of the spectra of…
In this paper we present a proof of a Neumann type maximum principle for the Laplace operator on compact Riemannian manifolds. A key p oint is the simple geometric nature of the constant in the a priori estimate of this maximum principle.…
We study a discrete model of the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that preserves the geometric structure of the original continual object. This means that, speaking of a discrete model, we do not mean just the direct replacement of differential…
It is well known that for higher order elliptic equations the positivity preserving property (PPP) may fail. In striking contrast to what happens under Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove that the PPP holds for the biharmonic operator…
