We investigate random Bernoulli convolutions, namely, probability measures given by the infinite convolution \[ \mu_\omega = \mathop{\circledast}_{k=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{\delta_0 + \delta_{\lambda_1 \lambda_2 \ldots \lambda_{k-1}…

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold M endowed with a potential 1-form A and study the magnetic Laplacian associated with those data (with Neumann magnetic boundary condition if the bpoundary of M is not empty). We first establish a…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, smooth domain. Supposing that $\alpha(p) + \beta(p) = p$, $\forall\, p \in \left(\frac{N}{s},\infty\right)$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{p \to \infty} \alpha(p)/{p} = \theta \in (0,1)$, we consider two systems for the…

Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…

The Neumann-Poincar\'e operator on the sphere has $\frac{1}{2(2k+1)}$, $k=0,1,2,\ldots$, as its eigenvalues and the corresponding multiplicity is $2k+1$. We consider the bifurcation of eigenvalues under deformation of domains, and show that…

A new proof of Oka's lemma is given for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$. The method of proof is then also applied to other convexity-like hypotheses on the boundary of $D$.

We provide the estimates for the constant in the weighted Poincar\'e inequality for a special class of planar domains and weights. Based on this, we prove the lower bounds for the first non-zero eigenvalue $\mu_\rho$ of the Neumann…

Lower bounds estimates are proved for the first eigenvalue for the Dirichlet Laplacian on arbitrary triangles using various symmetrization techniques. These results can viewed as a generalization of P\'olya's isoperimetric bounds. It is…

For $ p\in (1, \infty)$, we consider the following weighted Neumann eigenvalue problem on $B_1^c$, the exterior of the closed unit ball in $R^N$: \begin{equation}\label{Neumann eqn} \begin{aligned} -\Delta_p \phi & = \lambda g |\phi|^{p-2}…

In this note we construct smooth bounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$, other than disks, for which the overdetermined problem $$ \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} \Delta u + \lambda u &= 0 &\qquad& \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u &= b…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth, convex, unbounded domain of $\R^N$. Denote by $\mu_1(\Omega)$ the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue of the Hermite operator in $\Omega$; we prove that $\mu_1(\Omega) \ge 1$. The result is sharp since equality…
