The Steklov problem on a compact Lipschitz domain is to find harmonic functions on the interior whose outward normal derivative on the boundary is some multiple (eigenvalue) of its trace on the boundary. These eigenvalues form the Steklov…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N \ge 2$, be a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, divided by a Lipschitz hypersurface $\Sigma$ into two open, disjoint Lipschitz subdomains $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$. We study a nonlinear…

We give an example of a domain in dimension $N \geq 3$, homeomorphic to a ball and with analytic boundary, for which the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian has an eigenfunction with a closed nodal surface. The domain is…

This paper is concerned with the initial value problem for semilinear wave equation with structural damping $u_{tt}+(-\Delta)^{\sigma}u_t -\Delta u =f(u)$, where $\sigma \in (0,\frac{1}{2})$ and $f(u) \sim |u|^p$ or $u |u|^{p-1}$ with $p> 1…

We prove that for a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n$ which is Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the quasihyperbolic metric, especially when $\Omega$ is a finitely connected planar domain, the Sobolev space $W^{1,\,\infty}(\Omega)$…

In this article we study a Bernoulli-type free boundary problem and generalize a work of Henrot and Shahgholian in \cite{HS1} to $\mathcal{A}$-harmonic PDEs. These are quasi-linear elliptic PDEs whose structure is modeled on the $p$-Laplace…

We consider the spaces $H_{F}^{\infty}(\Omega)$ and $\mathcal{A}_{F}(\Omega)$ containing all holomorphic functions $f$ on an open set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{C}$, such that all derivatives $f^{(l)}$, $l\in F \subseteq \mathbb{N}_0=\{…

We consider the problem of describing the traces of functions in $H^2(\Omega)$ on the boundary of a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^N$, $N\geq 2$. We provide a definition of those spaces, in particular of…

We study the effects of a domain deformation to the nodal set of Laplacian eigenfunctions when the eigenvalue is degenerate. In particular, we study deformations of a rectangle that perturb one side and how they change the nodal sets…

If on a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ there is a nonconstant Neumann eigenfunction $u$ that is locally constant on the boundary, must $\Omega$ be a disk or an annulus? This question can be understood as a weaker analog…

In this paper, we study large $m$ asymptotics of the $l^1$ minimal $m$-partition problem for Dirichlet eigenvalue. For any smooth domain $\Omega\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $|\Omega|=1$, we prove that the limit…

In this paper, we first construct a sequence of hyperbolic surfaces with connected geodesic boundary such that the first normalized Steklov eigenvalue $\tilde{\sigma}_1$ tends to infinity. We then prove that as $g\rightarrow \infty$, a…

In this paper, we proved that for a bounded Hopf-symmetric domain $\Omega$ in a noncompact rank one symmetric space $M$, the second Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_2 (\Omega) \leq \lambda_2 (B_1)$ where $B_1$ is a geodesic ball in $M$ such…

This is a continuation of the paper 'Symmetry breaking and other phenomena in the optimization of eigenvalues for composite membranes' by S. Chanillo, D. Grieser, M. Imai, K. Kurata, and I. Ohnishi. Again, we consider the following…

We consider Gaussian random eigenfunctions (Hermite functions) of fixed energy level of the isotropic semi-classical Harmonic Oscillator on ${\bf R}^n$. We calculate the expected density of zeros of a random eigenfunction in the…

In this article, we investigate the weighted Steklov eigenvalue problem and the weighted Schr\"odinger--Steklov eigenvalue problem in outward cuspidal domains. We prove the solvability of these spectral problems in both linear and…

We study a fractional analogue of a plasma problem arising from physics. Specifically, for a fixed bounded domain $\Omega$ we study solutions to the eigenfunction equation \[ (- \Delta)^s u = \lambda(u- \gamma)_+ \] with $u \equiv 0$ on…

This paper highlights an unexpected connection between expansions of real numbers to noninteger bases (so-called {\em $\beta$-expansions}) and the infinite derivatives of a class of self-affine functions. Precisely, we extend Okamoto's…

We consider Laplacian eigenfunctions on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Under Neumann boundary conditions, the first eigenfunction is constant and the others have mean value 0. The situation is different for Dirichlet boundary…
