We consider minimal graphs u(x,y)>0 over unbounded domains D (with u vanishing on the boundary of D). Assuming D contains a sector properly containing a halfplane, we obtain estimates on growth and provide examples illustrating a range of…

Sequences of nodal counts store information on the geometry (metric) of the domain where the wave equation is considered. To demonstrate this statement, we consider the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on surfaces of…

We study eigenvalues of general scalar Dirichlet polyharmonic problems in domains in $\mathbb R^{d}$. We first prove a number of inequalities satisfied by the eigenvalues on general domains, depending on the relations between the orders of…

The nodal edge count of an eigenvector of the Laplacian of a graph is the number of edges on which it changes sign. This quantity extends to any real symmetric $n\times n$ matrix supported on a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. The average nodal…
