Tree-width and path-width are well-known graph parameters. Many NP-hard graph problems allow polynomial-time solutions, when restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or bounded path-width. In this work, we study the behavior of tree-width…

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…
