Let $D$ be a domain of finite Lebesgue measure in $\bR^d$ and let $X^D_t$ be the symmetric $\alpha$-stable process killed upon exiting $D$. Each element of the set $\{\lambda_i^\alpha\}_{i=1}^\infty$ of eigenvalues associated to $X^D_t$,…

We show that the first eigenfunction of the fractional Laplacian ${(-\Delta)}^s$, $s\in(1/2,1)$, is superharmonic in the unitary ball up to dimension $11$. To this aim, we also rely on a computer-assisted step to estimate a rather…

Let $(\mathbb{X} , d, \mu )$ be a proper metric measure space and let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{X}$ be a bounded domain. For each $x\in \Omega$, we choose a radius $0< \varrho (x) \leq \mathrm{dist}(x, \partial \Omega ) $ and let $B_x$ be the…

In this work, we revisit the following estimate due to Dahlberg \cite{Dahl}. Let $\textit{\textbf x}_0$ a fixed point in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$. Then there exists a constant $C > 0$ such that if $u$ is a harmonic function in…

This paper establishes Lipschitz stability for the simultaneous recovery of a variable density coefficient and the initial displacement in a damped biharmonic wave equation. The data consist of the boundary Cauchy data for the Laplacian of…

We investigate symmetry properties of the first nontrivial eigenfunctions of the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$, where $s \in (0,1)$, in an $N$-dimensional ball with nonlocal Neumann boundary conditions. By means of a spectral stability…

The ordered eigenvalues define a Lipschitz map on the real vector space of Hermitian $d \times d$ matrices. We prove that this map acts continuously, but not uniformly continuously, by superposition on the Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}$, for all…

We consider Laplacian eigenfunctions on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Under Neumann boundary conditions, the first eigenfunction is constant and the others have mean value 0. The situation is different for Dirichlet boundary…

We find an asymptotic expression for the first eigenvalue of the biharmonic operator on a long thin rectangle. This is done by finding lower and upper bounds which become increasingly accurate with increasing length. The lower bound is…
