In 1956 $\AA$. Pleijel gave his celebrated theorem showing that the inequality in Courant's theorem on the number of nodal domains is strict for large eigenvalues of the Laplacian. This was a consequence of a stronger result giving an…

We prove the Pleijel theorem in non-collapsed RCD spaces, providing an asymptotic upper bound on the number of nodal domains of Laplacian eigenfunctions. As a consequence, we obtain that the Courant nodal domain theorem holds except at most…

In this paper, we show that equality in Courant's nodal domain theorem can only be reached for a finite number of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian, in the case of an open, bounded and connected set in R n with a C 1,1 boundary. This…

We are interested in the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of sub-Laplacians on sub-Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we investigate the validity of Pleijel's theorem, which states that, as soon as the dimension is strictly larger…

Let $H(\Om_0)=-\Delta+V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on a bounded domain $\Om_0\subset \mathbb R^d$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Suppose that the $\Om_\ell$ ($\ell \in \{1,...,k\}$) are some pairwise disjoint subsets of $\Om_0$ and…

Given a Schr\"odinger operator with a real-valued potential on a bounded, convex domain or a bounded interval we prove inequalities between the eigenvalues corresponding to Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions, respectively. The…

This paper is devoted to the refine analysis of Courant's theorem for the Dirichlet Laplacian. Many papers (and some of them quite recent) have investigated in which cases this inequality in Courant's theorem is an equality: Pleijel,…

\AA. Pleijel (1956) has proved that in the case of the Laplacian with Dirichlet condition, the equality in the Courant nodal theorem (Courant sharp situation) can only be true for a finite number of eigenvalues when the dimension is $\geq…

We prove an analogue of Pleijel's nodal domain theorem for piecewise analytic planar domains with Neumann boundary conditions. This confirms a conjecture made by Pleijel in 1956. The proof is a combination of Pleijel's original approach and…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^d\,, d\geq 2$, be a bounded open set, and denote by $\lambda\_j(\Omega), j\geq 1$, the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian arranged in nondecreasing order, with multiplicities. The weak form of Pleijel's…

For relatively form-compact perturbations of non-negative selfadjoint operators, we obtain an upper bound on the number of discrete eigenvalues in half-planes separated from the positive real axis. The bound is given in terms of a partial…

For the spherical Laplacian on the sphere and for the Dirichlet Laplacian in the square}, Antonie Stern claimed in her PhD thesis (1924) the existence of an infinite sequence of eigenvalues whose corresponding eigenspaces contain an…

We prove and apply two theorems: First, a quantitative, scale-free unique continuation estimate for functions in a spectral subspace of a Schr\"odinger operator on a bounded or unbounded domain, second, a perturbation and lifting estimate…

We establish metric graph counterparts of Pleijel's theorem on the asymptotics of the number of nodal domains $\nu_n$ of the $n$-th eigenfunction(s) of a broad class of operators on compact metric graphs, including Schr\"odinger operators…

We establish quantitative upper and lower bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials that satisfy some weak form of sparsity. Our first result is a quantitative version of an example, due to S.\ Boegli (Comm. Math. Phys.,…

We develop a sharp boundary trace theory in arbitrary bounded Lipschitz domains which, in contrast to classical results, allows "forbidden" endpoints and permits the consideration of functions exhibiting very limited regularity. This is…

We consider the Courant-sharp eigenvalues of the Robin Laplacian for bounded, connected, open sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 2$, with Lipschitz boundary. We prove Pleijel's theorem which implies that there are only finitely many…

We prove quantitative bounds on the eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint unbounded operators obtained from selfadjoint operators by a perturbation that is relatively-Schatten. These bounds are applied to obtain new results on the distribution of…

This paper is concerned with the discrete spectrum of the self-adjoint realization of the semi-classical Schr\"odinger operator with constant magnetic field and associated with the de Gennes (Fourier/Robin) boundary condition. We derive an…
