The paper concerns the uniform polynomial approximation of a function $f$, continuous on the unit Euclidean sphere of ${\mathbb R}^3$ and known only at a finite number of points that are somehow uniformly distributed on the sphere. First we…

It is known that, equally well in the unit disc as in the whole complex plane, the growth of the analytic coefficients $A_0,\dotsc,A_{k-2}$ of \begin{equation*} f^{(k)} + A_{k-2} f^{(k-2)} + \dotsb + A_1 f'+ A_0 f = 0, \quad k\geq 2,…

In this work, we study the existence and regularity results of anisotropic elliptic equations with a singular lower order term that grows naturally with respect to the gradient and unbounded coefficients. We take up the following model…

We prove lower bounds for the Hausdorff measure of nodal sets of eigenfunctions.

We study solutions of uniformly elliptic PDE with Lipschitz leading coefficients and bounded lower order coefficients. We extend previous results of A. Logunov concerning nodal sets of harmonic functions and, in particular, prove polynomial…

A. Grothendieck proved at the end of his thesis that the space of slowly increasing functions and the space of rapidly decreasing distributions are bornological. Grothendieck's proof relies on the isomorphy of these spaces to a sequence…

The second part of the Hilbert's sixteenth problem consists in determining the upper bound $\mathcal{H}(n)$ for the number of limit cycles that planar polynomial vector fields of degree $n$ can have. For $n\geq2$, it is still unknown…

We study the growth of degrees in many autonomous and non-autonomous lattice equations defined by quad rules with corner boundary values, some of which are known to be integrable by other characterisations. Subject to an enabling…

We prove Hoelder continuity for n/2-harmonic maps from subsets of Rn into a sphere. This extends a recent one-dimensional result by F. Da Lio and T. Riviere to arbitrary dimensions. The proof relies on compensation effects which we quantify…

This paper estimates the location and the width of the nodal set of the first Neumann eigenfunctions on a smooth convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$, whose length is normalized to be 1 and whose cross-section is contained in a ball…

We establish lower bounds for the sum of the reciprocals of eigenvalues of the Laplacian. For bounded domains, our result extends the upper bound provided by Bucur and Henrot on the second Neumann eigenvalue and is related to a result by…

We prove an asymptotic estimate for the growth of variational eigenvalues of fractional p-Laplacian eigenvalue problems on a smooth bounded domain.

Alexopoulos proved that on a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group, the restriction of a harmonic function of polynomial growth to a torsion-free nilpotent subgroup of finite index is always a polynomial in the Mal'cev coordinates of…

We study oscillations in the eigenfunctions for a fractional Schr\"odinger operator on the real line. An argument in the spirit of Courant's nodal domain theorem applies to an associated local problem in the upper half plane and provides a…

We consider the real eigenfunctions of the Schr\"odinger operator on graphs, and count their nodal domains. The number of nodal domains fluctuates within an interval whose size equals the number of bonds $B$. For well connected graphs, with…

This paper is devoted to the Neumann-Kirchhoff Laplacian on a finite metric graph. We prove an index theorem relating the nodal deficiency of an eigenfunction with (1) the Morse index of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, (2) its positive index…

According to Courant's theorem, an eigenfunction as\-sociated with the $n$-th eigenvalue $\lambda\_n$ has at most $n$ nodal domains. A footnote in the book of Courant and Hilbert, states that the same assertion is true for any linear…

In the case of the sphere and the square, Antonie Stern (1925) claimed in her PhD thesis the existence of an infinite sequence of eigenvalues whose corresponding eigenspaces contain an eigenfunction with two nodal domains. These two…

We prove that the nodal set (zero set) of a solution of a generalized Dirac equation on a Riemannian manifold has codimension 2 at least. If the underlying manifold is a surface, then the nodal set is discrete. We obtain a quick proof of…

Let $\mathbb{M}$ be a compact $C^\infty$-smooth Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, $n\geq 3$, and let $\varphi_\lambda: \Delta_M \varphi_\lambda + \lambda \varphi_\lambda = 0$ denote the Laplace eigenfunction on $\mathbb{M}$…
