We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincar\'e constant for the embedding of $W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $1<q<2$. Namely, this can be…

We prove upper bounds on the graph diameters of polytopes in two settings. The first is a worst-case bound for polytopes defined by integer constraints in terms of the height of the integers and certain subdeterminants of the constraint…

Maximization and minimization problems of the principle eigenvalue for divergence form second order elliptic operators with the Dirichlet boundary condition are considered. The principal eigen map of such elliptic operators is introduced…

In the following we are interested in the spectral gaps of discrete quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators when the frequency is Diophantine, the potential is analytic, and in the subcritical regime. The gap-labelling theorem asserts in this…

For a real-valued non-negative and log-concave function we introduce a notion of difference function; the difference function represents a functional analog on the difference body of a convex body. We prove a sharp inequality which bounds…

Seminal work by Edmonds and Lovasz shows the strong connection between submodularity and convexity. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and subdifferentials in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit poly-time…

We prove a generalization of the well-known theorems by Borg and Hochstadt for periodic self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators without a spectral gap, respectively, one gap in their spectrum, in the matrix-valued context. Our extension of the…

By using quasi--derivatives we develop a Fourier method for studying the spectral gaps of one dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with periodic singular potentials $v.$ Our results reveal a close relationship between smoothness of…

We prove an explicit formula for the dependence of the exponent in the fractal uncertainty principle of Bourgain-Dyatlov on the dimension and on the regularity constant for the regular set. In particular, this implies an explicit essential…

We consider magnetic Schr\"{o}dinger operators on a bounded region $\Omega$ with the smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$ in Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^d$. In reference to the result from Weyl's asymptotic law and P\'{o}lya's conjecture, P.…

We study the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the Laplacian in a $n$-dimensional convex domain. For domains of a fixed inner radius, estimates of Chiti imply that the ratio of the $L^2$-norm and $L^{\infty}$-norm of the eigenfunction is…

We thoroughly analyse the double-layer potential's role in approaches to spectral sets in the spirit of Delyon--Delyon, Crouzeix and Crouzeix--Palencia. While the potential is well-studied, we aim to clarify on several of its aspects in…

We obtain an essential spectral gap for a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface $M=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb H^2$ which depends only on the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set. More precisely, we show that when $\delta>0$ there exists…

A weak version of Birkhoff's generalization of the Perron-Frobenius theorem states that every endomorphism of a finite-dimensional real vector that leaves invariant a non-degenerate closed convex cone has an eigenvector in that cone. Here,…

We prove a uniform spectral gap for complex transfer operators near the critical line associated to overlapping $C^2$ iterated function systems on the real line satisfying a Uniform Non-Integrability (UNI) condition. Our work extends that…

We study sharp \(L^2\) bounds for the interior Cauchy transform \(C_D\) on a bounded planar domain \(D\) and clarify its connection with the Dirichlet spectrum. We analyze an approach that replaces fractional Dirichlet powers on \(D\) by…

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…

Let q and v be symmetric sesquilinear forms such that v is a form perturbation of q. Then we can associate a unique self-adjoint operator B to q+ v. Assuming that B has a gap (a, b) in the essential spectrum, we prove a minimax principle…

The Dirac operator enters into zero curvature representation for the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We introduce and study a conformal map from the upper half-plane of the spectral parameter of the Dirac operator into itself. The…

We present a variational study of employing the trigonometric basis functions satisfying periodic boundary condition for the accurate calculation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of quartic double-well oscillators. Contrary to usual…
