In this note, we investigate upper bounds of the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian of a bounded domain (with smooth boundary) in a given complete (not compact a priori) Riemannian manifold with Ricci bounded below . For this, we…

In this paper we consider the second eigenfunction of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions in convex domains. If the domain has \emph{large eccentricity} then the eigenfunction has \emph{exactly} two nondegenerate critical…

We introduce a new minimax principle to prove the existence of multi-peak solutions to the Neumann problem of the $p$-Laplace equation $$ -\varepsilon^p \Delta_p u = u^{q-1} - u^{p-1} \ \ \text{in}\ \Omega,$$ where $\Om$ is a bounded domain…

We establish the solvability of the $L^p$-Dirichlet and $L^{p^\prime}$-Neumann problems for the Laplacian for $p\in (\frac{n}{n-1}-\varepsilon,\frac{2n}{n-1}]$ for some $\varepsilon>0$ in $2$-sided chord-arc domains with unbounded boundary…

We introduce a new Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian arising from a simple probabilistic consideration, and we discuss the basic properties of this model. We can consider both elliptic and parabolic equations in any domain. In…

We consider the bifurcation problem u'' + \lambda u = N(u) with two point boundary conditions where N(u) is a general nonlinear term which may also depend on the eigenvalue \lambda. A new derivation of a variational principle for the lowest…

The eigenvectors for graph $1$-Laplacian possess some sort of localization property: On one hand, any nodal domain of an eigenvector is again an eigenvector with the same eigenvalue; on the other hand, one can pack up an eigenvector for a…
