We prove three theorems about the asymptotic behavior of solutions $u$ to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation at boundary points with tangent cones. First, under very mild hypotheses, we show that the doubling index…
We present first results on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator associated with the $1$-Laplace operator in $L^1$. In particular, we show that this operator can be realized as a sub-differential operator in $L^1\times L^{\infty}$ of a…
We consider an operator $\Delta^2 + A(x)\cdot D+q(x)$ with the Navier boundary conditions on a bounded domain in $R^n$, $n\ge 3$. We show that a first order perturbation $A(x)\cdot D+q$ can be determined uniquely by measuring the…
Consider the Dirichlet Laplacian operator $-\Delta^D$ in a periodic waveguide $\Omega$. On the condition that $\Omega$ is sufficiently thin, we show that its spectrum $\sigma(-\Delta^D)$ is absolutely continuous (in each finite region). In…
In this paper, we study the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem concerning general semilinear elliptic equations in divergence form. We establish that the boundary Lipschitz regularity of solutions under some more weaker conditions on the…
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight three dimensional waveguide with non-rotationally invariant cross section, perturbed by a twisting of small amplitude. It is well known that such a perturbation does not create eigenvalues…
The Laplace operator is considered for waveguides perturbed by a periodic structure consisting of N congruent obstacles spanning the waveguide. Neumann boundary conditions are imposed on the periodic structure, and either Neumann or…
A classical pseudodifferential operator $P$ on $R^n$ satisfies the $\mu$-transmission condition relative to a smooth open subset $\Omega $, when the symbol terms have a certain twisted parity on the normal to $\partial\Omega $. As shown…
Motivated by recent results regarding the equivalence of the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplace operator in the case of simply connected regions, the present paper takes a step further and provides a similar equivalence between…
Laplace operators on finite compact metric graphs are considered under the assumption that matching conditions at graph vertices are of $\delta$ and $\delta'$ types. Assuming rational independence of edge lengths, necessary and sufficient…
Bound states of the Hamiltonian describing a quantum particle living on three dimensional straight strip of width $d$ are investigated. We impose the Neumann boundary condition on the two concentric windows of the radii $a$ and $ b$ located…
