We explore the Steklov eigenvalue problem on convex polygons, focusing mainly on the inverse Steklov problem. Our primary finding reveals that, for almost all convex polygonal domains, there exist at most finitely many non-congruent domains…

Let $\Omega$ be a compact surface with smooth boundary and the geodesic curvature $k_g \ge {c > 0}$ along $\partial \Omega$ for some constant $c \in \mathbb{R}$. We prove that, if the Gaussian curvature satisfies $K \ge -\alpha$ for a…
