We study the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the Laplacian in a $n$-dimensional convex domain. For domains of a fixed inner radius, estimates of Chiti imply that the ratio of the $L^2$-norm and $L^{\infty}$-norm of the eigenfunction is…

This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a bounded domain with periodic perforation in the case of small volume. We obtain the optimal quantitative error estimates independent of the spectral…

We discuss two fourth-order Steklov problems and highlight a Babu\v{s}ka paradox appearing in their approximations on convex domains via sequences of convex polygons. To do so, we prove that the eigenvalues of one of the two problems depend…

The paper deals with the optimal control problem described by second order evolution differential inclusions; to this end first we use an auxiliary problem with second order discrete and discrete-approximate inclusions. Then applying…

We consider the question of giving an upper bound for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Wentzell-Laplace operator of a domain $\Omega$, involving only geometrical informations. We provide such an upper bound, by generalizing Brock's…

Seminal work by Edmonds and Lovasz shows the strong connection between submodularity and convexity. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and subdifferentials in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit poly-time…

We study the counting function of Steklov eigenvalues on compact manifolds with boundary and obtain its upper bound involving the leading term of Weyl's law. Our estimate can be viewed as a weakened version of P\'{o}lya's Conjecture in the…

We study the Steklov eigenvalue problem for the $\infty-$orthotropic Laplace operator defined on convex sets of $\mathbb{R}^N$, with $N\geq2$, considering the limit for $p\to+\infty$ of the Steklov problem for the $p-$orthotropic Laplacian.…

We consider separable nonconvex optimization problems under affine constraints. For these problems, the Shapley-Folkman theorem provides an upper bound on the duality gap as a function of the nonconvexity of the objective functions, but…

Beginning from the resolution of the Dirichlet L function, using the inner product formula between two infinite-dimensional vectors in the complex space, the author proved the baffling problem--Hecke conjecture.

A connection between the semigroup of the Cauchy process killed upon exiting a domain $D$ and a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplacian in one dimension higher known as the "mixed Steklov problem," was established in a previous paper…

We prove a conjecture of H.Widom stated in [W] (math/0108008) about the reality of eigenvalues of certain infinite matrices arising in asymptotic analysis of large Toeplitz determinants. As a byproduct we obtain a new proof of A.Okounkov's…

In this paper we prove existence of (viscosity) solutions of Dirichlet problems concerning fully nonlinear elliptic operator, which are either degenerate or singular when the gradient of the solution is zero. For this class of operators it…

Combining probabilistic and analytic tools from potential theory, we investigate Dirichlet problems associated with the Dunkl Laplacian $\Delta_k$. We establish, under some conditions on the open set $D\subset\R^d$, the existence of a…

We derive Painlev\'e--type expressions for the distribution of the $m^{th}$ largest eigenvalue in the Gaussian Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles in the edge scaling limit. This work generalizes to general $m$ the $m=1$ results of Tracy…

The $k$-Hessian operator $\sigma_k$ is the $k$-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Hessian. It is known that the $k$-Hessian equation $\sigma_k(D^2u)=f$ with Dirichlet boundary condition $u=0$ is variational; indeed,…
