The purpose of this short note is to give a variation on the classical Donsker-Varadhan inequality, which bounds the first eigenvalue of a second-order elliptic operator on a bounded domain $\Omega$ by the largest mean first exit time of…

We consider the problems of extreming the first eigenvalue and the fundamental gap of a sub-elliptic operator with Dirichlet boundary condition, when the potential $V$ is subjected to a $p$-norm constraint. The existence results for weak…

In this paper we extend classical criteria for determining lower bounds for the least point of the essential spectrum of second-order elliptic differential operators on domains $\Omega\subset\R^n$ allowing for degeneracy of the coefficients…

We prove sharp lower bounds on the spectral gap of 1-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with Robin boundary conditions for each value of the Robin parameter. In particular, our lower bounds apply to single-well potentials with a centered…

We study the first eigenvalue of the $p-$Laplacian (with $1<p<\infty$) on a quantum graph with Dirichlet or Kirchoff boundary conditions on the nodes. We find lower and upper bounds for this eigenvalue when we prescribe the total sum of the…

We study asymptotically and numerically the fundamental gap -- the difference between the first two smallest (and distinct) eigenvalues -- of the fractional Schr\"{o}dinger operator (FSO) and formulate a gap conjecture on the fundamental…

We study the eigenvalues of the Laplacian with a strong attractive Robin boundary condition in curvilinear polygons. It was known from previous works that the asymptotics of several first eigenvalues is essentially determined by the corner…

By the calculation of the gap of the consecutive eigenvalues of $\Bbb S^n$ with standard metric, using the Weyl's asymptotic formula, we know the order of the upper bound of this gap is $k^{\frac{1}{n}}.$ We conjecture that this order is…

We prove the sharp inequality \[ J(\Omega) := \frac{\lambda_1(\Omega)}{h_1(\Omega)^2} < \frac{\pi^2}{4},\] where $\Omega$ is any planar, convex set, $\lambda_1(\Omega)$ is the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian under Dirichlet boundary…
