We study the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n\geq 2$. In particular, we generalize and improve upper bounds for the Riesz means of order $\sigma\geq 3/2$ established in an article by…

We analyze strict positivity at the boundary for nonnegative solutions of Robin problems in general (non-smooth) domains, e.g. open sets with rectifiable topological boundaries having finite Hausdorff measure. This question was raised by…

We consider the semilinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u =\lambda f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $R^{n}$ with Dirichielt boundary condition, where $f$ is a $C^{1}$ positive and nondeccreasing function in $[0,\infty)$ such that…

We obtain upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of warped products $\Omega\times_h\Sigma$, where $\Omega$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and $\Sigma$ is a closed Riemannian manifold. These bounds involve the volume of…

Inspired by the penalization of the domain approach of Lions & Sznitman, we give a sense to Neumann and oblique derivatives boundary value problems for nonlocal, possibly degenerate elliptic equations. Two different cases are considered:…

We prove sharp upper bounds for eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators on quantum graphs with $\delta$-coupling (also known as Robin) conditions at all vertices. The bounds depend on the geometry of the graph, on the potential, and the…

We prove two bounds for the first Robin eigenvalue of the Finsler Laplacian with negative boundary parameter in the planar case. In the constant area problem, we show that the Wulff shape is the maximizer only for values which are close to…

This paper investigates sloshing problems defined by $-\Delta u=0$ in $\Omega$, with mixed boundary conditions: $\partial_{\nu}u=\lambda u$ on $S$, and either $\partial_{\nu}u=0$ or $u=0$ on $W$. Here, $\Omega$ represents a smooth bounded…
