We develop the notion of higher Cheeger constants for a measurable set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. By the $k$-th Cheeger constant we mean the value \[h_k(\Omega) = \inf \max \{h_1(E_1), \dots, h_1(E_k)\},\] where the infimum is taken…

In this paper we construct nontrivial exterior domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, for all $N\geq 2$, such that the problem $$\left\{ {ll} -\Delta u +u -u^p=0,\ u >0 & \mbox{in }\; \Omega, {1mm] \ u= 0 & \mbox{on }\; \partial \Omega,…

It is known that, if $\Omega$ $\subset$ C is a convex set containing the numerical range of an operator A, then $\Omega$ is a C $\Omega$ -spectral set for A with C $\Omega$ $\le$ 1+ $\sqrt$ 2. We improve this estimate in unbounded cases.
