For a finite, simple, and undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and average degree $d$, Nikiforov introduced the degree deviation of $G$ as $s=\sum_{u\in V(G)}\left|d_G(u)-d\right|$. Provided that $G$ has largest eigenvalue $\lambda$,…

In this paper, we obtain optimal upper bounds for all the Neumann eigenvalues in two situations (that are closely related). First we consider a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem where the density is a function $h(x)$ whose…

Liu, Hong, Gu, and Lai proved if the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta \ge 2m+2 \ge 4$ satisfies $\lambda_2(G) < \delta - \frac{2m+1}{\delta+1}$, then $G$ contains at least $m+1$…

We consider Steklov eigenvalues of nearly hyperspherical domains in $\mathbb{R}^{d + 1}$ with $d\ge 3$. In previous work, treating such domains as perturbations of the ball, we proved that the Steklov eigenvalues are analytic functions of…

We prove a sharp upper bound and a lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Wentzell-Laplace operator on compact manifolds with boundary and an isoperimetric inequality for the same eigenvalue in the case where the manifold is a…

The $\sigma$-irregularity index of a graph is defined as the sum of squared degree differences over all edges and provides a sensitive measure of structural heterogeneity. In this paper, we study the problem of maximizing $\sigma(T)$ among…

In this paper we prove that given a volume, among all domains with smooth boundary in rank-1 symmetric spaces of noncompact type, geodesic balls maximizes the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. We also prove a comparison result for the first…

We present a new algorithm for numerical computation of large eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a smooth, star-shaped domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$. Conventional boundary-based methods require a…

We give a new lower bound for the first gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Schr{\"o}dinger operator on a bounded convex domain $\Omega$ in R$^n$ or S$^n$ and greatly sharpens the previous estimates. The new…

We investigate the question of sharp upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of a hypersurface of revolution of the Euclidean space with two boundary components isometric to two copies of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$. For the case of the first non…

Given an elliptic diffusion operator $L$ defined on a compact and connected manifold (possibly with a convex boundary in a suitable sense) with an $L$-invariant measure $m$, we introduce the non-linear $p-$operator $L_p$, generalizing the…

We consider the dimer model on piecewise Temperleyan, simply connected domains, on families of graphs which include the square lattice as well as superposition graphs. We focus on the spanning tree $\mathcal{T}_\delta$ associated to this…

We consider a class of infinite weighted metric trees obtained as perturbations of self-similar regular trees. Possible definitions of the boundary traces of functions in the Sobolev space on such a structure are discussed by using…

We consider twisted eigenvalues $\lambda_{1}^{g}(\Omega)$, defined as the minimum of the Rayleigh quotient of functions in $H^1_{0}(\Omega)$ that are orthogonal to a given function $g\in L^2_\text{loc}(\mathbb R^d)$. We prove an…

We establish a sharp lower bound on the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a metric graph equipped with natural (i.e., continuity and Kirchhoff) vertex conditions in terms of the diameter and the total length of the graph.…

For a Riemannian closed spin manifold and under some topological assumption (non-zero $\hat{A}$-genus or enlargeability in the sense of Gromov-Lawson), we give an optimal upper bound for the infimum of the scalar curvature in terms of the…

We consider the zeta function $\zeta_\Omega$ for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator of a simply connected planar domain $\Omega$ bounded by a smooth closed curve of perimeter $2\pi$. We prove that $\zeta_\Omega''(0)\ge…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain with $C^2$-smooth boundary in an $n$-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold. It is well-known that for the bi-harmonic equation $\Delta^2 u=0$ in $\Omega$ with the $0$-Dirichlet boundary condition, there…

We show the existence of a natural Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on Riemannian manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry, such that the bottom of the Dirichlet spectrum is positive. This map regarded as a densely defined operator in the…

By calculating full symbol for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map $\Lambda$ of a Stokes flow, we establish the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel for $\Lambda$. We also give a useful procedure, by which all coefficients of the…
