We establish an upper bound of the sum of the eigenvalues for the Dirichlet problem of the fractional Laplacian. Our result is obtained by a subtle computation of the Rayleigh quotient for specific functions.

We study an eigenvalue problem for the infinity-Laplacian on bounded domains. We prove the existence of the principal eigenvalue and a corresponding positive eigenfunction. The work also contains existence results when the parameter, in the…

In this paper, we deal with the boundary value problem $-\Delta u= |u|^{4/(n-2)}u/[\ln (e+|u|)]^\varepsilon$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$ with homogenous Dirichlet boundary condition. Here…

In this work, we study the unique continuation properties of Robin boundary value problems with Robin potentials $\eta \in L_{d-1+\varepsilon}$. Our results generalize earlier ones in which $\eta$ was assumed to be either zero (Neumann…

Let $\Omega\subset \RR^2$ be a domain having a compact boundary $\Sigma$ which is Lipschitz and piecewise $C^4$ smooth, and let $\nu$ denote the inward unit normal vector on $\Sigma$. We study the principal eigenvalue $E(\beta)$ of the…

This note is devoted to a simple proof of the generalized Leibniz rule in bounded domains. The operators under consideration are the so-called spectral Laplacian and the restricted Laplacian. Equations involving such operators have been…

We study boundary value problems for bounded uniform domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with non-Lipschitz (and possibly fractal) boundaries. We prove Poincar\'e inequalities with trace terms and uniform constants for uniform…

We study eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\RR^n$ with piecewise smooth boundary. We bound the distance between an arbitrary parameter $E > 0$ and the spectrum $\{E_j \}$ in terms of…

The aim of this paper is twofold: First, we characterize an essentially optimal class of boundary operators $\Theta$ which give rise to self-adjoint Laplacians $-\Delta_{\Theta, \Omega}$ in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$ with (nonlocal and local)…

We study perturbations of the eigenvalue problem for the negative Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential and Robin boundary condition. First we consider the case of a sublinear perturbation and then of a superlinear…

In this paper, we revisit Courant's nodal domain theorem for the Dirichlet eigenfunctions of a square membrane, and the analyses of A. Stern and {\AA}. Pleijel.

Using a Rellich-Pohozaev argument and Hardy's inequality, we derive an improved bound on the nonlinear eigenvalue for the non existence of radial solutions of a Brezis-Nirenberg problem, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, on a geodesic…

A slight improvement of Pleijel's estimate on the number of nodal domains is obtained, exploiting a refinement of the Faber-Krahn inequality and packing density of discs.

We study the low-lying eigenvalues of the semiclassical Robin Laplacian in a smooth planar domain symmetric with respect to an axis. In the case when the curvature of the boundary of the domain attains its maximum at exactly two points away…

We consider the magnetic Robin Laplacian with a negative boundary parameter. Among a certain class of domains, we prove that the disk maximizes the ground state energy under the fixed perimeter constraint provided that the magnetic field is…

We consider the Robin problem for a uniformly elliptic divergence operator with measure data on the right-hand side of the equation and an absorption term on the boundary involving blowing up terms. We prove the existence of a positive…

In this paper, we investigate universal estimates for eigenvalues of a buckling problem. For a bounded domain in a Euclidean space, we give a positive contribution for obtaining a sharp universal inequality for eigenvalues of the buckling…

We show how 'test' vector fields may be used to give lower bounds for the Cheeger constant of a Euclidean domain (or Riemannian manifold with boundary), and hence for the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on the domain. Also, we…

The main purpose of this paper is to address two open questions raised by W. Reichel on characterizations of balls in terms of the Riesz potential and fractional Laplacian. For a bounded $C^1$ domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$, we consider…
