Comparing Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\Rbb^n$ is a topic that goes back at least to the work of P\'olya \cite{polya}. We study the effect of the isoperimetric ratio of $\Omega$ on…

Plasmonics has attracted much attention not only because it has useful properties such as strong field enhancement, but also because it reveals the quantum nature of matter. To handle quantum plasmonics effects, ab initio packages or…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain. We perturb it to a domain $\Omega^\varepsilon$ attaching a family of small protuberances with "room-and-passage"-like geometry ($\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter). Peculiar spectral…

In this paper we study the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem $$ -\Delta_p u-\Delta_{J,p}u =\lambda|u|^{p-2}u \quad \text{ in } \Omega,\quad u=0 \quad\text{ in } \Omega^c=\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega. $$ Here $\Delta_p u$ is the standard local…

It is widely known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is stable under small perturbations of a domain, while in the case of the Neumann or mixed boundary conditions the spectrum may abruptly change. In this work we discuss an…
