Using expander graphs, we construct a sequence of smooth compact surfaces with boundary of perimeter N, and with the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue uniformly bounded away from zero. This answers a question which was raised in [9]. The…

Let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of graph $G$ with eigenvalues $\lambda_1(G), \lambda_2(G),..., \lambda_n(G)$ in non-increasing order. The number $S_k(G):=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_i^{k}(G)\, (k=0, 1,..., n-1)$ is called the $k$th spectral…

We propose a new normalized Sobolev gradient flow for the Gross-Pitaevskii eigenvalue problem based on an energy inner product that depends on time through the density of the flow itself. The gradient flow is well-defined and converges to…

For many biological systems that involve elastic structures immersed in fluid, small length scales mean that inertial effects are also small, and the fluid obeys the Stokes equations. One way to solve the model equations representing such…
