In this paper, we use a weighted isoperimetric inequality to give a lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a bounded domain inside a Euclidean cone. Our bound is sharp, in that only sectors realize it. This result…

We establish lower bounds for the sum of the reciprocals of eigenvalues of the Laplacian. For bounded domains, our result extends the upper bound provided by Bucur and Henrot on the second Neumann eigenvalue and is related to a result by…

In this paper, we will consider generalised eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on some surfaces of infinite area. We will be interested in lower bounds on the number of nodal domains of such eigenfunctions which are included in a given bounded…

Given the Laplacian on a planar, convex domain with piecewise linear boundary subject to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, we provide a sufficient condition for its lowest eigenvalue to dominate the lowest eigenvalue of the…

We consider the sequence of nodal counts for eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in two dimensional domains. It was conjectured recently that this sequence stores some information pertaining to the geometry of the domain, and we…

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…

We investigate new properties of the fractional Dirichlet Laplacian on smooth bounded domains and establish fractional product estimates and nonlinear Poincar\'e inequalities. We also use these tools to study the long-time dynamics of the…

Let X and Y be planar Jordan domains of the same finite connectivity, Y being inner chordarc regular (such are Lipschitz domains). Every homeomorphism h:X->Y in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ extends to a continuous map between closed domains.…

In this paper, we show that equality in Courant's nodal domain theorem can only be reached for a finite number of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian, in the case of an open, bounded and connected set in R n with a C 1,1 boundary. This…

We develop the complex scaling method for the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain with asymptotically cylindrical end. We define resonances as discrete eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint operators, obtained as deformations of the selfadjoint…

We prove two mixed versions of the Discrete Nodal Theorem of Davies et. al. [3] for bounded degree graphs, and for three-connected graphs of fixed genus $g$. Using this we can show that for a three-connected graph satisfying a certain…

The Laplacian matrix of the $n$-dimensional hypercube has $n+1$ distinct eigenvalues $2i$, where $0\leq i\leq n$. In 2004, B\i y\i ko\u{g}lu, Hordijk, Leydold, Pisanski and Stadler initiated the study of eigenfunctions of hypercubes with…
