We introduce a small slit into a planar domain and study the resulting effect upon the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. In particular, we show that as the length of the slit tends to zero, each real-analytic eigenvalue branch tends to an…
We prove the existence of an optimal domain for minimizing the buckling load among all, possibly unbounded, open subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) with given measure. Our approach is based on the extension of a 2-dimensional existence…
We build new examples of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in some Riemannian manifold with boundary. These domains are close to half balls of small radius centered at a…
The aim of this paper is give a simple proof of some results in \cite{Jun Ling-2006-IJM} and \cite{JunLing-2007-AGAG}, which are very deep studies in the sharp lower bound of the first eigenvalue in the Laplacian operator on compact…

We compute low-lying eigenmodes of the gauge covariant Laplace operator on the lattice at finite temperature. For classical configurations we show how the lowest mode localizes the monopole constituents inside calorons and that it hops upon…
On the unit interval (I), and the Sierpinski Gasket ($\mathcal{SG}$), the spectral decimation function of the Laplacian has similar properties that result in positive minimum spacing of eigenvalues. Other fractals, for example the level-3…
We consider the three-dimensional Laplacian with a magnetic field created by an infinite rectilinear current bearing a constant current. The spectrum of the associated hamiltonian is the positive half-axis as the range of an infinity of…
We discuss isoperimetric inequalities for the magnetic Laplacian on bounded domains of $\mathbb R^2$ endowed with an Aharonov-Bohm potential. When the flux of the potential around the pole is not an integer, the lowest eigenvalue for the…
We study minimizers of the Lawrence--Doniach energy, which describes equilibrium states of superconductors with layered structure, assuming Floquet-periodic boundary conditions. Specifically, we consider the effect of a constant magnetic…

The paper provides new upper and lower bounds for the multivariate Laplace approximation under weak local assumptions. Their range of validity is also given. An application to an integral arising in the extension of the Dixon's identity is…
We explore the use of correlation with simple functions to get lower bounds for arithmetic quantities. In particular, we apply this idea to the power moments of the error term when counting visible lattice points in large spheres.
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
We obtain nontrivial solutions of a $(N,q)$-Laplacian problem with a critical Trudinger-Moser nonlinearity in a bounded domain. In addition to the usual difficulty of the loss of compactness associated with problems involving critical…
Entropy functionals (i.e. convex integral functionals) and extensions of these functionals are minimized on convex sets. This paper is aimed at reducing as much as possible the assumptions on the constraint set. Dual equalities and…
