We prove that the space of vector fields on the boundary of a bounded domain in three dimensions is decomposed into three subspaces orthogonal to each other: elements of the first one extend to the inside of the domain as gradient fields of…
We prove that the elastic Neumann--Poincar\'e operator defined on the smooth boundary of a bounded domain in three dimensions, which is known to be non-compact, is in fact polynomially compact. As a consequence, we prove that the spectrum…
We address the question whether there is a three-dimensional bounded domain such that the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator defined on its boundary has infinitely many negative eigenvalues. It is proved in this paper that tori have such a…
We consider the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator on a three-dimensional axially symmetric domain which is generated by rotating a planar domain around an axis which does not intersect the planar domain. We investigate its spectral structure when…
The Helmholtz decomposition splits a sufficiently smooth vector field into a gradient field and a divergence-free rotation field. Existing decomposition methods impose constraints on the behavior of vector fields at infinity and require…
This article constructs a surface whose Neumann-Poincar\'e (NP) integral operator has infinitely many eigenvalues embedded in its essential spectrum. The surface is a sphere perturbed by smoothly attaching a conical singularity, which…
It is known that the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator for the Lam\'e system of linear elasticity is polynomially compact and, as a consequence, that its spectrum consists of three non-empty sequences of eigenvalues accumulating to certain…
We consider the double layer potential (Neumann-Poincar\'e) operator appearing in 3-dimensional elasticity. We show that the recent result about the polynomial compactness of this operator for the case of a homogeneous media follows without…
The boundary double layer potential, or the Neumann-Poincare operator, is studied on the Sobolev space of order 1/2 along the boundary, coinciding with the space of charges giving rise to double layer potentials with finite energy in the…
The Neumann--Poincar\'e operator defined on a smooth surface has a sequence of eigenvalues converging to zero, and the single layer potentials of the corresponding eigenfunctions, called plasmons, decay to zero, i.e., are localized on the…
This paper concerns the spectral properties of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator on $m$-fold rotationally symmetric planar domains. An $m$-fold rotationally symmetric simply connected domain $D$ is realized as the $m$th-root transform of a…
The classical spectral theorem completely describes self-adjoint operators on finite dimensional inner product vector spaces as linear combinations of orthogonal projections onto pairwise orthogonal subspaces. We prove a similar theorem for…
If the boundary of a domain in three dimensions is smooth enough, then the decay rate of the eigenvalues of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator is known and it is optimal. In this paper, we deal with domains with less regular boundaries and…
We study classes of domains in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1},\ d \geq 2$ with sufficiently flat boundaries that admit a decomposition or covering of bounded overlap by Lipschitz graph domains with controlled total surface area. This study is motivated…
We consider the spectral structure of the Neumann--Poincar\'e operators defined on the boundaries of thin domains of rectangle shape in two dimensions. We prove that as the aspect ratio of the domains tends to $\infty$, or equivalently, as…
In this paper we first study the structure of the scalar and vector-valued nearly invariant subspaces with a finite defect. We then subsequently produce some fruitful applications of our new results. We produce a decomposition theorem for…
The Neumann-Poincar\'e (NP) operator naturally appears in the context of metamaterials as it may be used to represent the solutions of elliptic transmission problems via potentiel theory. In particular, its spectral properties are closely…
We discuss criteria for the nonexistence, existence and computation of invariant algebraic surfaces for three-dimensional complex polynomial vector fields, thus transferring a classical problem of Poincar\'e from dimension two to dimension…
