Consider the Dirichlet-Laplacian in $\Omega:= (0,L)\times (0,H)$ and choose another open set $\omega\subset \Omega$. The estimate $0<C_{\omega}\leq R_{\omega}(u):=\frac{\Vert u\Vert^{2}_{L^{2}(\omega)}}{\Vert u\Vert^{2}_{L^{2}(\Omega)}}\leq…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in $\R^d$ $(d > 1)$ and $h(\Omega)$ the Fr\'echet space of harmonic functions on $\Omega$. Given a bounded linear operator $L :h(\Omega)\to h(\Omega)$, we show that its eigenvalues $\lambda_n$, arranged in…

Let $u$ be an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a compact manifold with boundary, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, and let $-\lambda^2$ be the corresponding eigenvalue. We consider the problem of estimating the maximum of $u$…
In this paper we present an iterative method, inspired by the inverse iteration with shift technique of finite linear algebra, designed to find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary…

On a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, we consider existence, uniqueness and "regularity" issues for the Green function $G_\lambda$ of the quasi-linear operator $u \to -\Delta_p u-\lambda |u|^{p-2}u$ with $1<p \leq…

We study the eigenvalue problem for the Neumann-Laplace operator in conformal regular planar domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$. Conformal regular domains support the Poincar\'e inequality and this allows us to estimate the variation of the…
