We show that for any positive integer k, the k-th nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the two-dimensional sphere endowed with a Riemannian metric of unit area, is maximized in the limit by a sequence of metrics converging…

We study the solution to the Robin boundary problem for the Laplacian in a Euclidean domain. We present some families of fractal domains where the infimum of the solution is greater than 0, and some other families of domains were it is…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian with some prescribed boundary condition over collections of convex domains of prescribed perimeter or diameter. It is known that these minimisation problems are…

The eigenvalue problem for the p-Laplace operator with Robin boundary condition is considered in this paper. A Faber-Krahn type inequality is proved. More precisely, it is shown that amongst all the domains of fixed volume, the ball has the…

In this paper we show how the method of parallel coordinates can be extended to three dimensions. As an application, we prove the conjecture of Antunes, Freitas and Krej\v{c}i\v{r}\'ik \cite{AFK} that "the ball maximises the first Robin…

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold M endowed with a potential 1-form A and study the magnetic Laplacian associated with those data (with Neumann magnetic boundary condition if the bpoundary of M is not empty). We first establish a…

We develop sharp upper bounds for energy levels of the magnetic Laplacian on starlike plane domains, under either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions and assuming a constant magnetic field in the transverse direction. Our main result…

We study a parametric Robin problem driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator and with a superlinear Carath\'eodory reaction term. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem for small values of the parameter. Also, we show that as…

Solutions of the scalar Helmholtz wave equation are derived for the analysis of the transport and thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional disk and three-dimensional infinitely long straight wire in the external uniform longitudinal…

The Berezin--Li--Yau and the Kr\"oger inequalities show that Riesz means of order $\geq 1$ of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a domain $\Omega$ of finite measure are bounded in terms of their semiclassical limit expressions. We show…

For a bounded corner domain $\Omega$, we consider the Robin Laplacian in $\Omega$ with large Robin parameter. Exploiting multiscale analysis and a recursive procedure, we have a precise description of the mechanism giving the ground state…

Let $\omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary. For $\varepsilon>0$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$ consider the infinite cone $\Omega_{\varepsilon}:=\big\{(x_1,x')\in (0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^n: x'\in\varepsilon…

We give an estimate on the lower bound of the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian for a closed Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature in terms of the in-diameter and the lower bound of the Ricci curvature.

We give results on optimal constants of isoperimetric inequalities involving Steklov eigenvalues on surfaces with boundary. We both consider this question on Riemannian surfaces with a same given topology or more specifically belonging to…

The Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator are larger on a flat disc than on any other surface of revoltuion immersed in Euclidean space with the same boundary.

We consider a semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. The reaction term is a Carath\'eodory function which is resonant with respect to any nonprincipal eigenvalue both at $\pm \infty$ and…

Comparing Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\Rbb^n$ is a topic that goes back at least to the work of P\'olya \cite{polya}. We study the effect of the isoperimetric ratio of $\Omega$ on…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be an open, bounded and Lipschitz set. We consider the torsion problem for the Laplace operator associated to $\Omega$ with Robin boundary conditions. In this setting, we study the equality case in the…

Inside a fixed bounded domain $\Omega$ of the plane, we look for the best compact connected set $K$, of given perimeter, in order to maximize the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega\setminus K)$. We discuss some of the qualitative…

We prove that the Robin eigenfunctions on convex domains of $\mathbb R^n$ are $H^2$ regular regardless of the sign of the parameter involved in the boundary conditions. The proof is an adaptation of a classical argument used in the case of…
