We consider the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a planar domain and study the effect that performing a scaling in one direction has on the spectrum. We derive the asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues and…

We deal with eigenvalue problems for the Laplacian with varying mixed boundary conditions, consisting in homogeneous Neumann conditions on a vanishing portion of the boundary and Dirichlet conditions on the complement. By the study of an…

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for…

In this paper, we show that equality in Courant's nodal domain theorem can only be reached for a finite number of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian, in the case of an open, bounded and connected set in R n with a C 1,1 boundary. This…

We study the eigenvalue problem for the Neumann-Laplace operator in conformal regular planar domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$. Conformal regular domains support the Poincar\'e inequality and this allows us to estimate the variation of the…

A Laplacian eigenfunction on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold provides a natural partition into Neumann domains (a.k.a. a Morse--Smale complex). This partition is generated by gradient flow lines of the eigenfunction, which bound the…

We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded domains $\O$ in the Euclidean space $\R^d$ for which the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on $\Omega$ admits sign-changing eigenfunctions with constant Neumann values on $\partial…

We study asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded domain in $ \R^n$. Our main results include an explicit remainder estimate in the Weyl formula for the Dirichlet Laplacian on an arbitrary bounded domain,…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$th eigenvalue, $k \geq 2$, of the ($p$-)Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions with respect to all domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$ of given volume $M$. When $k=2$, we prove that the second eigenvalue…

We develop some properties of the $p-$Neumann derivative for the fractional $p-$Laplacian in bounded domains with general $p>1$. In particular, we prove the existence of a diverging sequence of eigenvalues and we introduce the evolution…

We prove that the second positive Neumann eigenvalue of a bounded simply-connected planar domain of a given area does not exceed the first positive Neumann eigenvalue on a disk of a twice smaller area. This estimate is sharp and attained by…

We prove a lower bound on the eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k\in\mathbb{N}$, of the Dirichlet Laplacian of a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ of volume $V$: $$ \lambda_k \geq C_n\bigg( \delta\frac{k}{V}\bigg)^{2/n} $$ where $\delta$…

This paper is concerned with the magnetic Laplacian $P^h (\A)=(h D+\A)^2$ in semiclassical analysis, where $h$ is a semiclassical parameter. We study the $L^2$ Neumann and Dirichlet problems for the equation $P^h(\A)u=0$ in a bounded…

Our main result is that if a generic convex domain in $\R^n$ collapses to a domain in $\R^{n-1}$, then the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian, known as the fundamental gap, diverges. The…

We prove a Payne-Weinberger type inequality for the $p$-Laplacian Neumann eigenvalues ($p\ge 2$). The inequality provides the sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constants in Poincar\'e…

We consider the Laplacian eigenvalues for smooth planar domains with strongly attractive Robin conditions imposed on a part of the boundary and Neumann condition on the remaining boundary. The asymptotics of individual eigenvalues is…

In this paper we consider the second eigenfunction of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions in convex domains. If the domain has \emph{large eccentricity} then the eigenfunction has \emph{exactly} two nondegenerate critical…
