The study of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and the associated Steklov problem for the Laplace equation has been a central topic in spectral geometry over the past decade. In this survey, we consider a more general framework in which the…

We study ratios of eigenvalues of the Laplacian on compact metric graphs. Our goals are threefold: First, we prove a sharp Ashbaugh--Benguria-type bound for the ratio of the first two eigenvalues on compact trees with Dirichlet conditions…

Neumann domains of Laplacian eigenfunctions form a natural counterpart of nodal domains. The restriction of an eigenfunction to one of its nodal domains is the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of that domain. This simple observation is…
