We address the question of determining the eigenvalues $\lambda\_n$ (listed in nondecreasing order, with multiplicities) for which Courant's nodal domain theorem is sharp i.e., for which there exists an associated eigenfunction with $n$…

This paper is devoted to the Neumann-Kirchhoff Laplacian on a finite metric graph. We prove an index theorem relating the nodal deficiency of an eigenfunction with (1) the Morse index of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, (2) its positive index…

Generalizing Courant's nodal domain theorem, the "Extended Courant property" is the statement that a linear combination of the first $n$ eigenfunctions has at most $n$ nodal domains. In a previous paper (Documenta Mathematica, 2018, Vol.…
