We review recent advances in solving problems of mathematical physics on domains with irregular boundaries in Rn. We distinguish two frameworks: a measure-free approach in the image of the trace operator spaces for extension domains and an…

This paper is concerned with the location of nodal sets of eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet Laplacian in thin tubular neighbourhoods of hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. In the limit when the radius of the…

We discuss possible topological configurations of nodal sets, in particular the number of their components, for spherical harmonics on S^2. We also construct a solution of the equation Delta u=u in R^2 that has only two nodal domains. This…

Let $(M, g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, where g is $C^1$-smooth metric. Consider the sequence of eigenfunctions $u_k$ of the Laplace operator on M. Let $B$ be a ball on $M$. We prove a sharp estimate of the number of nodal domains of…

Given a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, we study the following anisotropic Neumann problem $$ \begin{cases} -\nabla(a(x)\nabla u)+a(x)u=\lambda a(x) u^{p-1}e^{u^p},\,\,\,\, u>0\,\,\,\,\, \textrm{in}\,\,\,\,\,…

Let $H$ be a generalized Schr\"odinger operator on a domain of a non-compact connected Riemannian manifold, and a generalized eigenfunction $u$ for $H$: that is, $u$ satisfies the equation $Hu=\lambda u$ in the weak sense but is not…

On smooth compact manifolds with smooth boundary, we first establish the sharp lower bounds for the restrictions of harmonic functions in terms of their frequency functions, by using a combination of microlocal analysis and frequency…

It is an open problem in general to prove that there exists a sequence of $\Delta_g$-eigenfunctions $\phi_{j_k}$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ for which the number $N(\phi_{j_k}) $ of nodal domains tends to infinity with the eigenvalue.…

We construct a multiply connected domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for which the second eigenfunction of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions has an interior nodal line. In the process, we adapt a bound of Donnelly-Fefferman type to obtain…
