We consider the discrete spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a manifold consisting of two adjacent parallel strips or planar layers coupled by a finite number N of windows in the common boundary. If the windows are small enough, there is…

Homogenization of a spectral problem in a bounded domain with a high contrast in both stiffness and density is considered. For a special critical scaling, two-scale asymptotic expansions for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are constructed.…

We give sufficient conditions on planar domains for polynomials to be dense in the algebras A and A-infinity of the product of these domains, endowed with their natural topologies. We also characterize the uniform limits, with respect to…

The main result of this paper is that one cannot hear orientability of a surface with boundary. More precisely, we construct two isospectral flat surfaces with boundary with the same Neumann spectrum, one orientable, the other…

We present a technique novel in numerical methods. It compiles the domain of the numerical methods as a discretized volume. Congruent elements are glued together to compile the domain over which the solution of a boundary value problem of a…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplace operator on open, quasi-bounded domains of infinite volume. For such domains semiclassical spectral estimates based on the phase-space volume - and therefore on the volume of the domain - must fail. Here we…

Two graphs are co-spectral if their respective adjacency matrices have the same multi-set of eigenvalues. A graph is said to be determined by its spectrum if all graphs that are co-spectral with it are isomorphic to it. We consider these…

While the existence of conformal mappings between doubly connected domains is characterized by their conformal moduli, no such characterization is available for harmonic diffeomorphisms. Intuitively, one expects their existence if the…

We show that the fundamental tone of the bilaplacian with Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions on radially symmetric domains is always simple in dimension $N\ge3$. In dimension $N=2$ we show that it is simple if the inner radius is big…

We construct sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings which map the unit disk onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, but with varying dilatation. Also, we obtain minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic…

We construct the new one-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonians that are spectrally isomorphic (not isospectral) with the known exactly solvable models. Explicit formulas for their spectra and eigenstates are provided. The operators are utilized…

Let $\Om$ be a domain in the complex plane $\C$ whose complement $E=\OC\setminus \Om$, where $\OC=\C\cup\{\infty\}$ is a subset of the real line (i.e. $\Om$ is a Denjoy domain). If each point of $E$ is regular for the Dirichlet problem in…

We use two of the most fruitful methods for constructing isospectral manifolds, the Sunada method and the torus action method, to construct manifolds whose Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators are isospectral at all frequencies. The manifolds are…

We generalize a classical inequality between the eigenvalues of the Laplacians with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded, planar domains: in 1955, Payne proved that below the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian…

We prove the uniqueness of solutions to Dirichlet problem for p-harmonic maps with images in a small geodesic ball of the target manifold. As a consequence, we show that such maps have Hoelder continuous derivatives. This gives an extension…

We present examples of bounded planar domains with one single hole for which the nodal line of a second Dirichlet eigenfunction is closed and does not touch the boundary. This shows that Payne's nodal line conjecture can at most hold for…

A number of questions related to the length spectrum of surfaces are discussed and in particular the existence of pairs of surfaces which though not isometric are isospectral. Here by isospectral we mean that a pair of bodies have the same…

We study isospectrality on p-forms of compact flat manifolds by using the equivariant spectrum of the Hodge-Laplacian on the torus. We give an explicit formula for the multiplicity of eigenvalues and a criterion for isospectrality. We…

The object of this paper is to characterize the third order moments (cumulants) and bispectra of a homogeneous isotropic field defined on a plane. We establish a one to one correspondence between the third order cumulants and the bispectra…

In [3] the authors studied the 4-parameter family of isospectral flat 4-tori T^\pm(a,b,c,d) discovered by Conway and Sloane. With a particular method of counting nodal domains they were able to distinguish these tori (numerically) by…
