The purpose of the present paper is to show that the components of the unit normal of any minimal surface with free boundary in the unit ball, are eigenfunctions associated with the eigenvalue $-2$, for some (new) natural eigenvalue problem…

This paper deals with eigenelements of the Laplacian in bounded domains, under Robin boundary conditions, without any assumption on the sign of the Robin parameter. We quantify the asymptotics of the variation of simple eigenvalues under…

This paper is concerned with an optimisation problem of Robin Laplacian eigenvalue with respect to an indefinite weight, which is formulated as a shape optimisation problem thanks to the known bang-bang distribution of the optimal weight…

In the first of two papers, we study the initial boundary-value problem that underlies the theory of the Boltzmann equation for general non-spherical hard particles. In this work, for two congruent ellipses and for a large class of…

We prove existence and regularity of metrics on a surface with boundary which maximize sigma_1 L where sigma_1 is the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue and L the boundary length. We show that such metrics arise as the induced metrics on free…

We write down a Robin boundary term for general relativity. The construction relies on the Neumann result of arXiv:1605.01603 in an essential way. This is unlike in mechanics and (polynomial) field theory, where two formulations of the…

We prove several optimal-order error estimates for a finite-element method applied to an inhomogeneous Robin boundary value problem (BVP) for the Poisson equation defined in a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n=2,3$. The boundary…

Neumann eigenvalues being non-decreasing with respect to domain inclusion, it makes sense to study the two shape optimization problems $\min\{\mu_k(\Omega):\Omega \mbox{ convex},\Omega \subset D, \}$ (for a given box $D$) and…

We initiate the study of a bulk-boundary eigenvalue problem for the Bilaplacian with a particular third order boundary condition that arises from the study of dynamical boundary conditions for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. First we consider…

We study the inverse Robin problem for the Schr\"odinger equation in a half-space. The potential is assumed to be compactly supported. We first solve the direct problem for dimensions two and three. We then show that the Robin-to-Robin map…
