We investigate the following Robin eigenvalue problem \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u=\mu u\,\, &\text{in}\,\, B,\\ \partial_\texttt{n} u+\alpha u=0 &\text{on}\,\, \partial B \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} on the…

We prove that every eigenvalue of a Robin problem with boundary parameter $\alpha$ on a sufficiently smooth domain behaves asymptotically like $-\alpha^2$ as $\alpha \to \infty$. This generalises an existing result for the first eigenvalue.

We study the statistics and the arithmetic properties of the Robin spectrum of a rectangle. A number of results are obtained for the multiplicities in the spectrum, depending on the Diophantine nature of the aspect ratio. In particular, it…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded $C^{2}$ domain in $\R^n$, and let $\Omega^{\ast}$ be the Euclidean ball centered at 0 and having the same Lebesgue measure as $\Omega$. Consider the operator $L=-\div(A\nabla)+v\cdot \nabla +V$ on $\Omega$ with…
