Let $(M,g)$ be a non-compact riemannian $n$-manifold with bounded geometry at order $k\geq\frac{n}{2}$. We show that if the spectrum of the Laplacian starts with $q+1$ discrete eigenvalues isolated from the essential spectrum, and if the…

We obtain a new bound connecting the first non--trivial eigenvalue of the Laplace operator of a graph and the diameter of the graph, which is effective for graphs with small diameter or for graphs, having the number of maximal paths…

We study the behaviour, as $p \to +\infty$, of the second eigenvalues of the $p$-Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions and the limit of the associated eigenfunctions. We prove that, up to some regularity of the set, the limit of the…

Here we have investigated a few properties of the eigenvalues of normalized (geometric) graph Laplacian in different graphs. Preservation of eigenvalue 1 from a particular subgraph to the entire graph, the spectrum of the graph constructed…

We consider Laplace's equation in a periodically perforated domain with Robin boundary conditions on the holes, where the Robin coefficient is scaled proportionally to the inverse total surface area of the performations. We identify a…

The first two eigenvalues of the Robin Laplacian are investigated along with their gap and ratio. Conjectures by various authors for arbitrary domains are supported here by new results for rectangular boxes. Results for rectangular domains…

The spectral theory of the p-Laplacian is well developed for classical Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, but the transitional Robin regime on exterior domains remains largely unexplored. This paper studies a weighted p-Laplacian…

For a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Sigma$ in a Riemannian surface $M$ satisfying certain curvature condition, we prove that $$\mu_{3-\beta_1} \leq \lambda_{1},$$ where $\mu_k$ ($\lambda_k$ resp.) is the $k$-th Neumann (Dirichlet resp.)…
