We investigate isoperimetric upper bounds for sums of consecutive Steklov eigenvalues of planar domains. The normalization involves the perimeter and scale-invariant geometric factors which measure deviation of the domain from roundness. We…

Let $(M,g)$ be a two-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold with Laplacian, $\Delta_g$. If $e_\lambda$ are the associated eigenfunctions of $\sqrt{-\Delta_g}$ so that $-\Delta_g e_\lambda = \lambda^2 e_\lambda$, then it has…

In this short note, we show the rigidity of a trace estimate for Steklov eigenvalues with respect to functions in our previous work (Trace and inverse trace of Steklov eigenvalues. J. Differential Equations 261 (2016), no. 3, 2026--2040.).…

We study the following class of Steklov eigenvalue problems: \[ \nabla \cdot \bigl( w \nabla u \bigr) = 0 \quad \text{in } \Omega, \qquad \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} = \gamma v u \quad \text{on } \partial \Omega, \] where $w$ and $v$…
