Let $\mathcal{O} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded domain of class $C^2$. In the Hilbert space $L_2(\mathcal{O};\mathbb{C}^n)$, we consider a matrix elliptic second order differential operator $\mathcal{A}_{D,\varepsilon}$ with the…

In this work, we consider the Sturm-Liouville operator on a finite interval $[0,1]$ with discontinuous conditions at $1/2$. We prove that if the potential is known a priori on a subinterval $[b,1]$ with $b\ge1/2$, then parts of two spectra…

We explore Liouville's theorem and the Strong Liouville Property (SLP) for harmonic functions on Riemannian cones and surfaces. Our approach recasts the classical Liouville property in terms of the growth of radial eigenfunctions (in the…

In this paper we study the Liouville-type properties for solutions to the steady incompressible Euler equations with forces in $\Bbb R^N$. If we assume "single signedness condition" on the force, then we can show that a $C^1 (\Bbb R^N)$…
