We study the nodal sets of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard d-dimensional flat torus. The question we address is: Can a fixed hypersurface lie on the nodal sets of eigenfunctions with arbitrarily large eigenvalue? In…

Given a length function on the edge set of a finite graph, we define a vertex-weight and an edge-weight in terms of it and consider the corresponding graph Laplacian. In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the first nonzero…

We study the number of intersections of the nodal lines of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on the standard torus with a fixed reference curve, that is, the number of zeros of the eigenfunction restricted to the curve. An upper bound is…
