Dear Reader, please find the third and last part of a series of papers on the singular perturbation of the first eigenfunction associated to a non self-adjoint second order elliptic operators. This series started in 1999 and we presented…

On a compact Riemannian manifold (V_{m},g), we consider the second order positive operator L_{\epsilon} = \epsilon\Delta_{g} +(b,\nabla) +c, where -\Delta_{g} is the Laplace-Beltrami operator and b is a Morse-Smale (MS) field, \epsilon a…

We consider an elliptic operator in which the second-order term is very small in one direction. In this regime, we study the behaviour of the principal eigenfunction and of the principal eigenvalue. Our first result deals with the limit of…

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and a metric that is singular at the boundary. The associated Laplace-Beltrami operator is of the form of a Grushin operator plus a singular potential. In a supercritical parameter…

We prove the existence of extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in some compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 2$, with volume close to the volume of the manifold. If the first (positive)…

This paper studies the eigenvalue problem on $\mathbb{R}^d$ for a class of second order, elliptic operators of the form $\mathscr{L} = a^{ij}\partial_{x_i}\partial_{x_j} + b^{i}\partial_{x_i} + f$, associated with non-degenerate diffusions.…

The motivation of this paper is to study a second order elliptic operator which appears naturally in Riemannian geometry, for instance in the study of hypersurfaces with constant $r$-mean curvature. We prove a generalized Bochner-type…

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary with a certain class of critical singular Riemannian metrics that are singular at the boundary. The corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator can be seen as a Grushin-type operator plus…

We consider the homogenization of an elliptic spectral problem with a large potential stated in a thin cylinder with a locally periodic perforation. The size of the perforation gradually varies from point to point. We impose homogeneous…

In the semiclassical limit, it is well-known that the first eigenvector of a Toeplitz operator concentrates on the minimal set of the symbol. In this paper, we give a more precise criterion for concentration in the case where the minimal…

We study the behaviour of the first eigenfunction of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a planar convex domain near its maximum. We show that the eccentricity and orientation of the superlevel sets of the eigenfunction stabilise as they approach…
