On a compact Riemannian manifold (V_{m},g), we consider the second order positive operator L_{\epsilon} = \epsilon\Delta_{g} +(b,\nabla) +c, where -\Delta_{g} is the Laplace-Beltrami operator and b is a Morse-Smale (MS) field, \epsilon a…

We study the geometry of the first two eigenvalues of a magnetic Steklov problem on an annulus $\Sigma$ (a compact Riemannian surface with genus zero and two boundary components), the magnetic potential being the harmonic one-form having…

This paper focuses on the problem of topological equivalence of functions with isolated critical points on the boundary of a compact surface $M$ which are also isolated critical points of their restrictions to the boundary. This class of…

The conformal parameterisation of a minimal surface is harmonic. Therefore, a minimal surface is a critical point of both the energy functional and the area functional. In this paper, we compare the Morse index of a minimal surface as a…

The Steklov problem is an eigenvalue problem with the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions, which has various applications. Its spectrum coincides with that of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Over the past years, there has been…
