We revisit two papers which appeared in 1999: M.~Hoffmann-Ostenhof, T.~Hoffmann-Ostenhof, and N.~Nadirashvili [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 17 (1999) 43--48] and T.~Hoff\-mann-Ostenhof, P.~Michor, and N.~Nadirashvili [Geom. Funct. Anal. 9 (1999)…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary and $n\geq 2$. Assume that ${\mathrm{Ric}(M)\ge (n-1)K}$ for some ${K>0}$ and that $\partial M$ has nonnegative mean curvature with respect to the outward…

In this paper, we prove the existence of a family of non trivial compact subdomains $\O$ in the manifold $\mathcal{M}=\R^N\times \R/2\pi\Z, N\geq 2$ for which the overdetermined Neumann boundary value problem \begin{align}\label{Neumann1}…

We investigate the relationship between the Neumann and Steklov principal eigenvalues emerging from the study of collapsing convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Such a relationship allows us to give a partial proof of a conjecture concerning…

Suppose $(M,g_0)$ is a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary of dimension $n\geq 3$. Using the Yamabe flow, we obtain estimate for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian of $g_0$ with negative scalar curvature in terms of the…

We study the boundary value problem $-{\rm div}((|\nabla u|^{p\_1(x) -2}+|\nabla u|^{p\_2(x)-2})\nabla u)=f(x,u)$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\RR^N$. We focus on the cases when…

We present some new bounds for the first Robin eigenvalue with a negative boundary parameter. These include the constant volume problem, where the bounds are based on the shrinking coordinate method, and a proof that in the fixed perimeter…

The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for the disk among simply-connected planar domains of fixed area when the Robin parameter is scaled by perimeter in the form $\alpha/L(\Omega)$, and $\alpha$ lies between…
