We consider the dependence of non-zero Steklov eigenvalues on smooth perturbations of the domain boundary. We prove that these eigenvalues are generically simple under such boundary perturbations. This result complements our previous work…

Using expander graphs, we construct a sequence of smooth compact surfaces with boundary of perimeter N, and with the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue uniformly bounded away from zero. This answers a question which was raised in [9]. The…

For a compact, connected, orientable Riemannian manifold with $b$ boundary components, we obtain geometric lower bounds for the low Steklov eigenvalues, namely $\sigma_k$, $1\le k\le b-1$. Our results complement earlier results, which apply…

Let $G$ be a graph of genus $g$ with boundary $\delta\Omega$. For $g=0$, Lin and Zhao [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 112 (2025), Paper No. e70238] proved an upper bound for the first (non-trivial) Steklov eigenvalue of $(G, \delta\Omega )$, and they…

The Steklov eigenvalue problem was introduced over a century ago, and its discrete form attracted interest recently. Let $D$ and $\delta \Omega$ be the maximum vertex degree and the set of vertices of degree one in a graph $\mathcal{G}$…
