In [SWW16, HW17] it is shown that the difference of the first two eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition on convex domain with diameter $D$ of sphere $\mathbb S^n$ is $\geq 3 \frac{\pi^2}{D^2}$ when $n \geq 3$. We…

We obtain a new upper bound for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded convex domain in Euclidean space. As an application of the upper bound we derive universal inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian.

We show that the $j$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian on an open set of a Carnot group is greater than the $(j+1)$-st Neumann eigenvalue. This extends earlier results in the Euclidean and Heisenberg case and has a remarkably…

We prove a general Mosco convergence theorem for bounded Euclidean domains satisfying a set of mild geometric hypotheses. For bounded domains, this notion implies norm-resolvent convergence for the Dirichlet Laplacian which in turn ensures…

We establish existence and uniqueness results for nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet boundary value problems on n-dimensional time scale domains. Time scales provide a unified framework that encompasses continuous, discrete, and hybrid settings.…

The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to an elliptic partial differential equation becomes multivalued when the underlying Dirichlet problem is not uniquely solvable. The main objective of this paper is to present a systematic study of…
