We consider the problem of minimising the $k$th eigenvalue, $k \geq 2$, of the ($p$-)Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions with respect to all domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$ of given volume $M$. When $k=2$, we prove that the second eigenvalue…

This paper gives a framework to produce the lower bound of eigenvalues defined in a Hilbert space by the eigenvalues defined in another Hilbert space. The method is based on using the max-min principle for the eigenvalue problems.

We define the minimum energy state while the expectation value of the field, evolves in time. We obtain the relation between the n-point functions in such a state, and the external field for all the moments. We obtain an equation of motion…

We discuss two optimization problems related to the fractional $p$-Laplacian. First, we prove the existence of at least one minimizer for the principal eigenvalue of the fractional $p$-Laplacian with Dirichlet conditions, with a bounded…

We show that eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on certain non-compact domains with finite area may localize at infinity--provided there is no extreme level clustering--and thus rule out quantum unique ergodicity for such systems. The…

We describe the solutions to the problem of identifying the continuum in the complex plane that minimizes the logarithmic capacity among all the continuum that contain a prefixed finite set of points. This description can be implemented…

We study the magnetic Laplacian in a two-dimensional exterior domain with Neumann boundary condition and uniform magnetic field. For the exterior of the disk we establish accurate asymptotics of the low-lying eigenvalues in the weak…

Given a convex domain and its convex sub-domain we prove a variant of domain monotonicity for the Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian. As an application of our method we also obtain an upper bound for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian…

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of convergence for the Laplace eigenfunctions in the semiclassical limit, the local weak convergence. This allows us to give a rigorous statement of Berry's random wave conjecture. Using recent…

We study the Robin Laplacian in a domain with two corners of the same opening, and we calculate the asymptotics of the two lowest eigenvalues as the distance between the corners increases to infinity.

In this paper we present an approximation result concerning the first eigenvalue of the 1-Laplacian operator. More precisely, for $\Omega$ a bounded regular open domain, we consider a minimisation of the functional ${\ds \int_\Omega}|\nabla…

We prove that any weakly differentiable function with square integrable gradient can be extended to a capacitary boundary of any simply connected plane domain $\Omega\ne\mathbb R^2$ except a set of a conformal capacity zero. For locally…

The present paper describes a way to relate Martin boundaries on spaces of varying topology. This enables us to approach some detailed inductive analysis of the eigenfunctions of conformal Laplacians on minimal hypersurfaces near their…

In this paper we deal with the existence, regularity and Beltrami field property of magnetic energy minimisers under a helicity constraint. We in particular tackle the problem of characterising local as well as global minimisers of the…

We show that low-lying eigenmodes of the Laplace operator are suitable to represent properties of the underlying SU(2) lattice configurations. We study this for the case of finite temperature background fields, yet in the confinement phase.…

We investigate how the lowest eigenvalue of a magnetic Laplacian depends on the geometry of a planar domain with a disk shaped hole, where the magnetic field is generated by a singular flux. Under Dirichlet boundary conditions on the inner…
