We state and prove a Cheeger-like inequality for coexact 1-forms on closed orientable Riemannian manifolds.

After works by Michael and Simon [10], Hoffman and Spruck [9], and White [14], the celebrated Sobolev inequality could be extended to submanifolds in a huge class of Riemannian manifolds. The universal constant obtained depends only on the…

In this paper, we give tight bounds for the normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of hypergraphs that are not necessarily uniform, and provide an edge version interlacing theorem, a Cheeger inequality, and a discrepancy inequality that are…

A discrete version of Lagrangian reduction is developed in the context of discrete time Lagrangian systems on $G\times G$, where $G$ is a Lie group. We consider the case when the Lagrange function is invariant with respect to the action of…

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We…

The eigenvectors for graph $1$-Laplacian possess some sort of localization property: On one hand, any nodal domain of an eigenvector is again an eigenvector with the same eigenvalue; on the other hand, one can pack up an eigenvector for a…

We study a general version of the Cheeger inequality by considering the shape functional $\mathcal{F}_{p,q}(\Omega)=\lambda_p^{1/p}(\Omega)/\lambda_q(\Omega)^{1/q}$. The infimum and the supremum of $\mathcal{F}_{p,q}$ are studied in the…

We revisit the eigenvalue problem of the Dirichlet Laplacian on bounded domains in complete Riemannian manifolds. By building on classical results like Li-Yau's and Yang's inequalities, we derive upper and lower bounds for eigenvalues. For…

An isoperimetric constant relating length and stable area, or alternatively for hyperbolic manifolds, length and stable commutator length, serves as a Cheeger constant for the smallest eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian acting on coexact…

We study a problem of minimal surfaces with free boundary written in the form of a non convex minimization problem. Our aim is to characterize optimal solutions by finding a suitable calibration field. A natural upper bound of the infimum…

For a hyponormal operator, C. R. Putnam's inequality gives an upper bound on the norm of its self-commutator. In the special case of a Toeplitz operator with analytic symbol in the Smirnov space of a domain, there is also a geometric lower…

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities for domains with smooth boundary on Riemannian manifolds. For example, using generalized convexity, we show that among all domains with a lower bound $l$ for the cut distance and Ricci…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and $G$ a Lie subgroup of the isometry group of $M$ acting freely and properly on $M.$ We study the Dirichlet Problem \begin{align*} \operatorname{div}\left( \frac{a\left( \left\Vert \nabla…

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}…

This Thesis aims to highlight some isoperimetric questions involving the, so-called, $N$-clusters. We first briefly recall the theoretical framework we are adopting. This is done in Chapter one. In chapter two we focus on the standard…

We consider the identification of nonlinear diffusion coefficients of the form $a(t,u)$ or $a(u)$ in quasi-linear parabolic and elliptic equations. Uniqueness for this inverse problem is established under very general assumptions using…

We prove wellposedness of the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation for any defocusing power nonlinearity on a domain of the plane with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main argument is based on a generalized Strichartz…

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…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional closed orientable submanifold in an $N$-dimensional space form. When $1<p \le \frac n2 + 1$, we obtain an upper bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian in terms of the mean curvature of $M$…
