In this paper we consider magnetic Schroedinger operators on the two-dimensional unit disk with a radially symmetric magnetic field which explodes to infinity at the boundary. We prove a bound for the eigenvalue moments and a bound for the…

We prove that the Weinstock inequality for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue holds in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $n\ge 3$, in the class of convex sets with prescribed surface area. The key result is a sharp isoperimetric inequality involving…

We establish new analytic and numerical results on a general class of rational operator Nevanlinna functions that arise e.g. in modelling photonic crystals. The capability of these dielectric nano-structured materials to control the flow of…

In this paper we prove a sharp lower bound for the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_1(\Omega)$ for the $p$-Laplace operator in a Lipschitz, bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\R^n$. Our estimate does not require any convexity assumption on…

We prove a general Mosco convergence theorem for bounded Euclidean domains satisfying a set of mild geometric hypotheses. For bounded domains, this notion implies norm-resolvent convergence for the Dirichlet Laplacian which in turn ensures…

Neumann eigenvalues being non-decreasing with respect to domain inclusion, it makes sense to study the two shape optimization problems $\min\{\mu_k(\Omega):\Omega \mbox{ convex},\Omega \subset D, \}$ (for a given box $D$) and…

We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function $\rho$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. We investigate the minimization and maximization of $\lambda_k(\rho)$, the…

We consider the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on an open, bounded, connected set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^2$ boundary, with a Neumann boundary condition or a Robin boundary condition. We obtain upper bounds for those eigenvalues that have a…

We obtain upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Laplacian associated to a closed potential $1$-form (hence, with zero magnetic field) acting on complex functions of a planar domain $\Omega$, with magnetic Neumann boundary…

For a hyponormal operator, C. R. Putnam's inequality gives an upper bound on the norm of its self-commutator. In the special case of a Toeplitz operator with analytic symbol in the Smirnov space of a domain, there is also a geometric lower…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian with some prescribed boundary condition over collections of convex domains of prescribed perimeter or diameter. It is known that these minimisation problems are…

In this paper, we address the problem of maximizing the Steklov eigenvalues with a diameter constraint. We provide an estimate of the Steklov eigenvalues for a convex domain in terms of its diameter and volume and we show the existence of…

We prove the following sharp upper bound for the gradient of the Neumann semigroup $P_t$ on a $d$-dimensional compact domain $\OO$ with boundary either $C^2$-smooth or convex: $$\|\nn P_t\|_{1\to \infty}\le \ff{c}{t^{(d+1)/2}},\ \ t>0,$$…

For a bounded N-dimensional domain with Lipschitz boundary we extend Korn's first inequality to incompatible tensor fields. For compatible tensor fields our estimate reduces to a non-standard variant of the well known Korn's first…

A theorem of Harald Bohr (1914) states that if f is a holomorphic map from the unit disc into itself, then the sum of absolute values of its Taylor expansion is less than 1 for |z|<1/3. The bound 1/3 is optimal. This result has been…
