We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a two-dimensional strip composed of segments translated along a straight line with respect to a rotation angle with velocity diverging at infinity. We show that this model exhibits a "raise of…

In this paper we analyse the spectrum of nonlocal Dirichlet problems with non-singular kernels in bounded open sets. The novelty is the continuity of eigenvalues with respect to domain perturbation via Lebesgue measure. Also, under…

The eigenvectors for graph $1$-Laplacian possess some sort of localization property: On one hand, any nodal domain of an eigenvector is again an eigenvector with the same eigenvalue; on the other hand, one can pack up an eigenvector for a…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a family of narrow unbounded domains. As the width of these domains goes to 0, we study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues that lie below the essential spectrum and the asymptotic behavior of…

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,…
