It is known that any $n$-point set in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d = O(1)$, admits: 1) a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner with maximum degree $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d+1})$ and with lightness $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d})$; 2)…

Consider the Dirichlet Laplacian operator $-\Delta^D$ in a periodic waveguide $\Omega$. On the condition that $\Omega$ is sufficiently thin, we show that its spectrum $\sigma(-\Delta^D)$ is absolutely continuous (in each finite region). In…

Consider the Laplacian in a bounded domain in R^d with general (mixed) homogeneous boundary conditions. We prove that its eigenfunctions are `quasi-orthogonal' on the boundary with respect to a certain norm. Boundary orthogonality is proved…

A bounded measurable set $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ is called a spectral set if it admits some exponential orthonormal basis $\{e^{2\pi i \langle\lambda,x\rangle}: \lambda\in\Lambda\}$ for $L^2(\Omega)$. In this paper, we show that in…

We use the averaged variational principle introduced in a recent article on graph spectra [7] to obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of several partial differential operators of interest in geometric analysis, which are analogues of…

In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for real-valued second order divergence form elliptic operators with boundary data in H\"{o}lder spaces. Our context is that of open sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \ge 2$, satisfying…

We discuss the spectral subspace perturbation problem for a self-adjoint operator. Assuming that the convex hull of a part of its spectrum does not intersect the remainder of the spectrum, we establish an \textit{a priori} sharp bound on…

On a fairly general class of Riemannian manifolds M, we prove lower estimates in terms of the Ricci curvature for the spectral bound (when M has infinite volume) and for the spectral gap (when M has finite volume) for the Laplace-Beltrami…

A classical theorem of Colin de Verdi\`ere shows that on a closed manifold of fixed topology one can prescribe an arbitrary finite portion of the Laplace-Beltrami spectrum (including multiplicities, subject to the usual topological…

We study the space complexity of sketching cuts and Laplacian quadratic forms of graphs. We show that any data structure which approximately stores the sizes of all cuts in an undirected graph on $n$ vertices up to a $1+\epsilon$ error must…

This work deals with the system $(-\Delta)^m u= a(x) v^p$, $(-\Delta)^m v=b(x) u^q$ with Dirichlet boundary condition in a domain $\Omega\subset\RR^n$, where $\Omega$ is a ball if $n\ge 3$ or a smooth perturbation of a ball when $n=2$. We…
