We consider the higher order buckling eigenvalues of the following Dirichlet poly-Laplacian in the unit sphere $(-\Delta)^p u=\Lambda (-\Delta) u$ with order $p(\geq2)$. We obtain universal bounds on the $(k+1)$th eigenvalue in terms of the…

We generalize a classical inequality between the eigenvalues of the Laplacians with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded, planar domains: in 1955, Payne proved that below the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian…

We present examples of bounded planar domains with one single hole for which the nodal line of a second Dirichlet eigenfunction is closed and does not touch the boundary. This shows that Payne's nodal line conjecture can at most hold for…

The Rayleigh Conjecture for the bilaplacian consists in showing that the clamped plate with least principal eigenvalue is the ball. The conjecture has been shown to hold in 1995 by Nadirashvili in dimension $2$ and by Ashbaugh and Benguria…
