Let $\mathbb{M}$ denote a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $K_{\mathbb{M}} \leq k$ and Ricci curvature $\text{Ric}_{\mathbb{M}} \geq (n-1)K$, where $k,K \in \mathbb{R}$. Then for a bounded domain…

We study the efficiency of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction $u$ on bounded convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, defined as the ratio between the mean value of $u$ on $\Omega$ and its maximum value. By exploiting improved…
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 study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…

An isoperimetric inequality for lower order nonzero Neumann eigenvalues of the Witten-Laplacian on bounded domains in a Euclidean space or a hyperbolic space has been proven in this paper. About this conclusion, we would like to point out…
We study the eigenvalue problem for the Neumann-Laplace operator in conformal regular planar domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$. Conformal regular domains support the Poincar\'e inequality and this allows us to estimate the variation of the…
The aim of this paper is twofold: First, we characterize an essentially optimal class of boundary operators $\Theta$ which give rise to self-adjoint Laplacians $-\Delta_{\Theta, \Omega}$ in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$ with (nonlocal and local)…
We consider the eigenvalues problem for the the fractional Laplacian in a bounded domain Omega with Dirichlet boundary condition. A recent result by Fall, Ghimenti, Micheletti and Pistoia (CVPDE (2023)) states that under generic small…
Our main result is that if a generic convex domain in $\R^n$ collapses to a domain in $\R^{n-1}$, then the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian, known as the fundamental gap, diverges. The…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\ge 2,$ be a bounded domain with an outward power-like peak which is assumed not too sharp in a suitable sense. We consider the Laplacian $u\mapsto -\Delta u$ in $\Omega$ with the Robin boundary condition…

We study the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the Laplacian in a $n$-dimensional convex domain. For domains of a fixed inner radius, estimates of Chiti imply that the ratio of the $L^2$-norm and $L^{\infty}$-norm of the eigenfunction is…
We revisit two papers which appeared in 1999: M.~Hoffmann-Ostenhof, T.~Hoffmann-Ostenhof, and N.~Nadirashvili [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 17 (1999) 43--48] and T.~Hoff\-mann-Ostenhof, P.~Michor, and N.~Nadirashvili [Geom. Funct. Anal. 9 (1999)…
