The Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ has the property that it can explicitly be expressed in terms of $\Lambda$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the unit ball, as…

Consider the class of optimal partition problems with long range interactions \[ \inf \left\{ \sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_1(\omega_i):\ (\omega_1,\ldots, \omega_k) \in \mathcal{P}_r(\Omega) \right\}, \] where $\lambda_1(\cdot)$ denotes the first…

We revisit the problem of characterizing the eigenvalue distribution of the Dirichlet-Laplacian on bounded open sets $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}$ with fractal boundaries. It is well-known from the results of Lapidus and Pomerance \cite{LapPo1}…

We consider the problem of optimal location of a Dirichlet region in a $d$-dimensional domain $\Omega$ subjected to a given right-hand side $f$ in order to minimize some given functional of the configuration. While in the literature the…

An explicit Dirichlet series is obtained, which represents an analytic function of $s$ in the half-plane $\Re s>1/2$ except for having simple poles at points $s_j$ that correspond to exceptional eigenvalues $\lambda_j$ of the non-Euclidean…

We obtain a complete description of closed ideals of the algebra $\mathcal{D}\cap \mathrm{lip}_\alpha},$ $0<\alpha\leq{1/2},$ where $\mathcal{D}$ is the Dirichlet space and $\mathrm{lip}_\alpha}$ is the algebra of analytic functions…

For $n\ge 5$ and $k\ge 4$, we show that any minimizing biharmonic map from $\Omega\subset R^n$ to $S^k$ is smooth off a closed set whose Hausdorff dimension is at most $n-5$. When $n=5$ and $k=4$, for a parameter $\lambda\in [0,1]$ we…

In this paper we study optimal lower and upper bounds for functionals involving the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_{F}(p,\Omega)$ of the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian, $1<p<+\infty$. Our aim is to enhance how, by means of the $\mathcal…

Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…

Consider the normalized adjacency matrices of random $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices with fixed degree $d\geq 3$, and denote the eigenvalues as $\lambda_1=d/\sqrt{d-1}\geq \lambda_2\geq\lambda_3\cdots\geq \lambda_N$. We prove that the…

The lowest eigenvalue of the Laplacian within the S-sided regular polygon with Dirichlet boundary conditions is the focus of this report. As suggested by others, this eigenvalue may be expressed as an asymptotic expansion in powers of 1/S…

Second-order estimates are established for solutions to the $p$-Laplace system with right-hand side in $L^2$. The nonlinear expression of the gradient under the divergence operator is shown to belong to $W^{1,2}$, and hence to enjoy the…

Let $\Omega$ be some domain in the hyperbolic space $\Hn$ (with $n\ge 2$) and $S_1$ the geodesic ball that has the same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as $\Omega$. We prove the Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger conjecture for $\Hn$, i.e., that the…

In the optimal partial transport problem, one is asked to transport a fraction $0<m \leq \min\{||f||_{L^1}, ||g||_{L^1}\}$ of the mass of $f=f \chi_\Omega$ onto $g=g\chi_\Lambda$ while minimizing a transportation cost. If $f$ and $g$ are…

Given a bounded Euclidean domain $\Omega$, we consider the sequence of optimisers of the $k^{\rm th}$ Laplacian eigenvalue within the family consisting of all possible disjoint unions of scaled copies of $\Omega$ with fixed total volume. We…

In this paper we study the Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalues $\lambda_k(\Omega,\Gamma_S)$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a domain and $\Gamma_S\subset \partial \Omega$ is the subset of the boundary in which we impose the Steklov…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain of $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\ge 2$ and $p(\cdot)$ be a local Lipschitz funcion in $\Omega$ with $1<p(x)<\infty$ in $\Omega$. We build up an interior quantitative second order Sobolev regularity for the normalized…

We investigate the Dirichlet boundary control of the Laplace equation, considering the control in $H^{1/2}(\partial \Omega)$, which is the natural space for Dirichlet data when the state belongs to $H^1(\Omega)$. The cost of the control is…

We study the nodal set of the Steklov eigenfunctions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ - the eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. Under the assumption that the domain $\Omega$ is $C^2$, we prove a…
