We consider the torsional rigidity and the principal eigenvalue related to the Laplace operator with Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions. The goal is to find upper and lower bounds to products of suitable powers of the quantities above…
In this paper, we study an eigenvalue problem with piecewise constant coefficients on thin domains with Neumann boundary condition, and we analyze the asymptotic behavior of each eigenvalue as the domain degenerates into a certain…
We consider the cases where there is equality in Courant's nodal domain theorem for the Laplacian with a Robin boundary condition on the square. In our previous two papers, we treated the cases where the Robin parameter $h>0$ is large,…
We prove a Faber-Krahn inequality for the Laplacian with drift under Robin boundary condition, provided that the $\beta$ parameter in the Robin condition is large enough. The proof relies on a compactness argument, on the convergence of…
We consider weighted p-Laplace type equations with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in convex domains, where the weight is a log-concave function which may degenerate at the boundary. In the case of bounded domains, we provide sharp…
We introduce Robin boundary conditions for biharmonic operators, which are a model for elastically supported plates and are closely related to the study of spaces of traces of Sobolev functions. We study the dependence of the operator, its…
We give an example of a pseudoconvex domain in a complex manifold whose $L^2$-Dolbeault cohomology is non-Hausdorff, yet the domain is Stein. The domain is a smoothly bounded Levi-flat domain in a two complex-dimensional compact complex…
We introduce an analogue of Payne's nodal line conjecture, which asserts that the nodal (zero) set of any eigenfunction associated with the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded planar domain should reach the boundary of…
We give simple new proofs of two well-known results for the Schr\"odinger operator: first, the Brunn--Minkowski inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues and, second, the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction. Our proof of the first…
The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for the ball among domains of fixed volume, for negative values of the Robin parameter $\alpha$ in the regime connecting the first nontrivial Neumann and Steklov…
The paper is devoted to the study of some properties of the first eigenvalue of the anisotropic $p$-Laplace operator with Robin boundary condition involving a function $\beta$ which in general is not constant. In particular we obtain sharp…
This paper considers how the eigenvalues of the Neumann problem for an elliptic operator depend on the domain. The proximity of two domains is measured in terms of the norm of the difference between the two resolvents corresponding to the…
We present a new and direct proof of the local Neumann isoperimetric inequality on convex domains of a Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below.
The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for a spherical cap among simply connected Jordan domains on the 2-sphere, for substantial intervals of positive and negative Robin parameters and areas. Geodesic disks in…
We prove that the first (nontrivial) Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator $$ L(u)=\Delta u-\langle\nabla u,x\rangle\,, $$ as a function of the domain, is convex with respect to the Minkowski addition, and we characterize…
We study the eigenvalues of the Laplacian with a strong attractive Robin boundary condition in curvilinear polygons. It was known from previous works that the asymptotics of several first eigenvalues is essentially determined by the corner…
It is an observation due to J.J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain D in $C^n$ there exists s>0 such that the dbar-Neumann operator on D maps $W^s_{(0,1)}(D)$ (the space of $(0,1)$-forms with coefficient functions in…
We obtain a new upper bound for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded convex domain in Euclidean space. As an application of the upper bound we derive universal inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian.
The present paper establishes that the Robin harmonic measure is quantitatively mutually absolutely continuous with respect to the surface measure on any Ahlfors regular set in any (quantifiably) connected domain for any elliptic operator.…
We prove a two-term asymptotic expansion of eigenvalue sums of the Laplacian on a bounded domain with Neumann, or more generally, Robin boundary conditions. We formulate and prove the asymptotics in terms of semi-classical analysis. In this…
