We study a shape optimization problem associated with the first eigenvalue of a nonlinear spectral problem involving a mixed operator ($p-$Laplacian and Laplacian) with a constraint on the volume. First, we prove the existence of a…

In this paper, we use a weighted isoperimetric inequality to give a lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a bounded domain inside a Euclidean cone. Our bound is sharp, in that only sectors realize it. This result…

We study the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian operator in a two-dimensional twisted strip embedded in $\mathbb R^d$ with $d \geq 2$. It is shown that a local twisting perturbation can create discrete eigenvalues for the operator. In…

Could the location of the maximum point for a positive solution of a semilinear Poisson equation on a convex domain be independent of the form of the nonlinearity? Cima and Derrick found certain evidence for this surprising conjecture. We…

We improve upon the local bound in the depth aspect for sup-norms of newforms on $D^\times$ where $D$ is an indefinite quaternion division algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. Our sup-norm bound implies a depth-aspect subconvexity bound for $L(1/2, f…

We generalize a classical inequality between the eigenvalues of the Laplacians with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded, planar domains: in 1955, Payne proved that below the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian…

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We…

We study sublevel set and superlevel set persistent homology on discrete functions through the perspective of finite ordered sets of both linearly ordered and cyclically ordered domains. Finite ordered sets also serve as the codomain of our…

In this paper, we deal with the Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian in annular domains. More precisely, we consider $\Omega_r = \Omega_0 \setminus \overline{B}_r$, where $\Omega_0 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 2$, is an…

We study the second order elliptic equations of non-divergence form in a planar domain with complicated geometry. In this case the domain winds around a fixed circle infinitely many times and converges to it when the rotating angle goes to…
