It is widely known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is stable under small perturbations of a domain, while in the case of the Neumann or mixed boundary conditions the spectrum may abruptly change. In this work we discuss an…

We consider spectral problems for Laplace operator in 3D rod structures with a small cross section of diameter $O(\varepsilon)$, $\varepsilon$ being a positive parameter. The boundary conditions are Dirichlet (Neumann, respectively) on the…

It is known (E.L. Green (1997), O. Post (2003)) that for an arbitrary $m\in\mathbb{N}$ one can construct a periodic non-compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with at least $m$ gaps in the spectrum of the corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator…

We examine the band-gap structure of the spectrum of the Neumann problem for the Laplace operator in a strip with periodic dense transversal perforation by identical holes of a small diameter $\varepsilon>0$. The periodicity cell itself…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic metric graph, which does not coincide with a line. We consider the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon$ on $\Gamma$ with the action $-\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathrm{d}^2/\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on…
