We study spectral properties of second order elliptic operators with periodic coefficients in dimension two. These operators act in periodic simply-connected waveguides, with either Dirichlet, or Neumann, or the third boundary condition.…
We study the asymptotic behavior of Dirichlet minimizers to the Allen--Cahn equation on manifolds with boundary, and we relate the Neumann data to the geometry of the boundary. We show that Dirichlet minimizers are asymptotically local in…
We derive the unique continuation property of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. The simplest type of equations to which our results apply is given as $-\Delta u = |u|^{\sigma-1} u$ in a domain…
We prove that the double layer potential operator and the gradient of the single layer potential operator are L_2 bounded for general second order divergence form systems. As compared to earlier results, our proof shows that the bounds for…
Take an open domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ whose boundary may be composed of pieces of different dimensions. For instance, $\Omega$ can be a ball on $\mathbb R^3$, minus one of its diameters $D$, or $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ could…
We consider Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps associated with (not necessarily self-adjoint) Schrodinger operators in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$, $n=2,3$, where $\Omega$ is an open set with a compact, nonempty boundary satisfying certain regularity…
We establish two commutator estimates for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated with a second-order elliptic system in divergence form in Lipschitz domains. Our approach is based on Dahlberg's bilinear estimates.
We prove that the realization $A_p$ in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N),\,1<p<\infty$, of the elliptic operator $A=(1+|x|^{\alpha})\Delta+b|x|^{\alpha-1}\frac{x}{|x|}\cdot \nabla-c|x|^{\beta}$ with domain $D(A_p) =\{ u \in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\, |\, Au…
We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…
We establish a nonlinear Calder\'on-Zygmund $L^2$-theory to the Dirichlet problem $$-|Du|^{\gamma}\Delta^N_p u=f\in L^2(\Omega)\quad {\rm in}\quad \Omega; \quad u=0 \ \mbox{on $\partial\Omega$} $$ for $n\ge2$, $ p>1$ and a large range of…
We explore positivity properties of the semigroup generated by the negative of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator with real potential $\lambda$, defined on a subset of the vertices of a quantum graph. We show that for rationally independent…
The Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ has the property that it can explicitly be expressed in terms of $\Lambda$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the unit ball, as…
Given a Schr\"odinger operator with a real-valued potential on a bounded, convex domain or a bounded interval we prove inequalities between the eigenvalues corresponding to Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions, respectively. The…
We establish optimal conditions under which the G-convergence of linear elliptic operators implies the convergence of the corresponding Dirichlet to Neumann maps. As an application we show that the approximate cloaking isotropic materials…
Truncated Toeplitz operators in a model space are C--symmetric with respect to a natural conjugation in that space. We show that this and another conjugation associated to an orthogonal decomposition possess unique properties and we study…

We introduce the $L^p$ Poisson-Neumann problem for an uniformly elliptic operator $L=-\rm{div }A\nabla$ in divergence form in a bounded 1-sided Chord Arc Domain $\Omega$, which considers solutions to $Lu=h-\rm{div}\vec{F}$ in $\Omega$ with…
