We study the location of the spectrum of the Laplacian on compact metric graphs with complex Robin-type vertex conditions, also known as $\delta$ conditions, on some or all of the graph vertices. We classify the eigenvalue asymptotics as…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^2$ be a bounded planar domain, with piecewise smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$. For $\sigma>0$, we consider the Robin boundary value problem \[ -\Delta f =\lambda f, \qquad \frac{\partial f}{\partial n} +…

The first two eigenvalues of the Robin Laplacian are investigated along with their gap and ratio. Conjectures by various authors for arbitrary domains are supported here by new results for rectangular boxes. Results for rectangular domains…

We study the statistics and the arithmetic properties of the Robin spectrum of a rectangle. A number of results are obtained for the multiplicities in the spectrum, depending on the Diophantine nature of the aspect ratio. In particular, it…
