The fundamental gap is the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator (and the Laplacian, in particular). For horoconvex domains in hyperbolic space, Nguyen, Stancu and Wei conjectured that it is…

In this paper, we consider eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on a bounded domain in a hyperbolic space. We obtain universal bounds on the $(k+1)$th eigenvalue in terms of the first $k$th eigenvalue independent of the domains.

We investigate a reverse Faber-Krahn type inequality for the Robin Laplacian in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ whose boundary has two connected components. We prove that a concentric spherical shell maximizes the…

For $N\geq 2$, a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, and $g_0, V_0 \in L^1_{loc}(\Omega)$, we study the optimization of the first eigenvalue for the following weighted eigenvalue problem: \begin{align*} -\Delta_p \phi + V…

The classical Szego-Weinberger inequality states that among bounded planar domains of given area, the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue is maximized by a disk. Recently, it was shown by Girouard, Nadirashvili and Polterovich that, for simply…

We prove a sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constant in a class of weighted Poincar\'e inequalities. The key point is the study of an optimal weighted Wirtinger inequality.

This paper optimizes the step coefficients of first-order methods for smooth convex minimization in terms of the worst-case convergence bound (i.e., efficiency) of the decrease in the gradient norm. This work is based on the performance…

We give an overview of results on shape optimization for low eigenvalues of the Laplacian on bounded planar domains with Neumann and Steklov boundary conditions. These results share a common feature: they are proved using methods of complex…

We find lower and upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of a nonlocal diffusion operator of the form $ T(u) = - \int_{\rr^d} K(x,y) (u(y)-u(x)) \, dy$. Here we consider a kernel $K(x,y)=\psi (y-a(x))+\psi(x-a(y))$ where $\psi$ is a bounded,…

We consider the problem of minimising or maximising the quantity $\lambda(\O)T^q(\O)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $\lambda(\O)$ denotes the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on…
