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…

This note concerns the nodal sets of eigenfunctions of semiclassical Schr\"odinger operators acting on compact, smooth, Riemannian manifolds, with no boundary. We prove that if H is a separating hypersurface that lies inside the classically…

A Laplacian eigenfunction on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold provides a natural partition into Neumann domains (a.k.a. a Morse--Smale complex). This partition is generated by gradient flow lines of the eigenfunction, which bound the…

It was recently shown that the nodal deficiency of an eigenfunction is encoded in the spectrum of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators for the eigenfunction's positive and negative nodal domains. While originally derived using symplectic…

We study a new link between the Steklov and Neumann eigenvalues of domains in Euclidean space. This is obtained through an homogenisation limit of the Steklov problem on a periodically perforated domain, converging to a family of eigenvalue…

For smooth bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}$, we prove upper and lower $L^2$ bounds on the boundary data of Neumann eigenfunctions, and prove quasi-orthogonality of this boundary data in a spectral window. The bounds are tight in the sense…

Let $\Omega$ be a star-shaped bounded domain in $(\mathbb{S}^{n}, ds^{2})$ with smooth boundary. In this article, we give a sharp lower bound for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov eigenvalue problem in $\Omega.$ This result is…

The Steklov problem is an eigenvalue problem with the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions, which has various applications. Its spectrum coincides with that of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Over the past years, there has been…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^2$ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$, and let $\omega_h$ be the set of points in $\Omega$ whose distance from the boundary is smaller than $h$. We prove that the eigenvalues of the…

In this paper, we consider a generalized polyharmonic eigenvalue problem of the form $A(u)= \lambda h(u)$ in a bounded smooth domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions in the setting of higher-order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Here, $A$ is a…

Let \phi\ be a Dirichlet or Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove lower bounds for the size of the nodal set {\phi=0}.

We construct a bounded $C^{1}$ domain $\Omega$ in $R^{n}$ for which the $H^{3/2}$ regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists $f$ in $C^{\infty}(\overline\Omega)$ such that…

We introduce the class of quasiconvex Lipschitz domains, which covers both $C^1$ and convex domains, to the study of boundary unique continuation for elliptic operators. In particular, we prove the upper bound of the size of nodal sets for…

The study of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and the associated Steklov problem for the Laplace equation has been a central topic in spectral geometry over the past decade. In this survey, we consider a more general framework in which the…

For a domain $\Omega$ contained in a hemisphere of the $n$-dimensional sphere $\SS^n$ we prove the optimal result $\lambda_2/\lambda_1(\Omega) \le \lambda_2/\lambda_1(\Omega^{\star})$ for the ratio of its first two Dirichlet eigenvalues…

We use layer potential to establish that the boundary biharmonic Steklov operators are elliptic pseudo-differential operators. Thus we are able to establish lower bounds on both the measure of boundary nodal sets and interior nodal sets for…

We revisit two papers which appeared in 1999: M.~Hoffmann-Ostenhof, T.~Hoffmann-Ostenhof, and N.~Nadirashvili [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 17 (1999) 43--48] and T.~Hoff\-mann-Ostenhof, P.~Michor, and N.~Nadirashvili [Geom. Funct. Anal. 9 (1999)…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a bounded domain with smooth boundary, whose Bergman projection $B$ maps the Sobolev space $H^{k_{1}}(\Omega)$ (continuously) into $H^{k_{2}}(\Omega)$. We establish two smoothing results: (i) the full…

Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold. We consider the inner radius of a nodal domain for a large eigenvalue \lambda. We give upper and lower bounds on the inner radius of the type C/\lambda^k. Our proof is based on a local behavior of…

In this paper, we study the computational question of whether the Steklov spectrum of smooth simply connected planar domains can be approximated accurately by a boundary-only formulation based on harmonic conjugation. For the unit disk, the…
