In this paper we study the best constant in a Hardy inequality for the p-Laplace operator on convex domains with Robin boundary conditions. We show, in particular, that the best constant equals $((p-1)/p)^p$ whenever Dirichlet boundary…

Let $(M, g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, where g is $C^1$-smooth metric. Consider the sequence of eigenfunctions $u_k$ of the Laplace operator on M. Let $B$ be a ball on $M$. We prove a sharp estimate of the number of nodal domains of…

We write down a Robin boundary term for general relativity. The construction relies on the Neumann result of arXiv:1605.01603 in an essential way. This is unlike in mechanics and (polynomial) field theory, where two formulations of the…
