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…

We construct in this article a class of closed semi-bounded quadratic forms on the space of square integrable functions over a smooth Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. Each of these quadratic forms specifies a semi-bounded…

It has been empirically observed that eigenfunctions of Laplace's equation $-\Delta \phi = \lambda \phi$ with Neumann boundary conditions sometimes localize near the boundary of the domain if that boundary is rough (say, fractal). This has…

We announce a new result which shows that under either Dirichlet, Neumann, or Robin boundary conditions, the corners in a planar domain are a spectral invariant of the Laplacian. For the case of polygonal domains, we show how a locality…

In this paper we study a Sturm--Liouville operator $Ly=-y"+q(x)y$ in the space $L_2[0,\pi]$ with Direchlet boundary conditions. Here the potential $q$ is a first order distribution: $q\in W_2^{-1}[0,\pi]$. Such operators were defined in our…

By introducing a weight function to the Laplace operator, Bakry and \'Emery defined the "drift Laplacian" to study diffusion processes. Our first main result is that, given a Bakry-\'Emery manifold, there is a naturally associated family of…

In this paper we consider conformal spectral estimates of the Dirichlet-Laplace operator in conformal regular domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$. This study is based on the geometric theory of composition operators on Sobolev spaces that…

A new idea to approximate the second eigenfunction and the second eigenvalue of $p$-Laplace operator is given. In the case of the Dirichlet boundary condition, the scheme has the restriction that the positive and the negative part of the…

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, which is of more abstract nature, the notion of quasi boundary triples and associated Weyl functions is developed further in such a way that it can be applied to elliptic boundary value…

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for…

The spectral properties of the restricted fractional Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smoothly bent waveguide is investigated. The existence of eigenvalues below the threshold of the continuous spectrum is proved,…

It is well known that certain pairs of planar domains have the same spectra of the Laplacian operator. We prove that these domains are still isospectral for a wider class of physical problems, including the cases of heterogeneous drums and…

We prove pointwise bounds for $L^2$ eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on locally symmetric spaces with $\mathbb{Q}$-rank one if the corresponding eigenvalues lie below the continuous part of the $L^2$ spectrum. Furthermore, we…

This paper concerns the asymptotic expansion of the solution of the Dirichlet-Laplace problem in a domain with small inclusions. This problem is well understood for the Neumann condition in dimension greater than two or Dirichlet condition…

Analyzing nodal domains is a way to discern the structure of eigenvectors of operators on a graph. We give a new definition extending the concept of nodal domains to arbitrary signed graphs, and therefore to arbitrary symmetric matrices. We…

We study mappings with branching of a domain of Euclidean space. The H\"older and Lipschitz continuity are established for one class of spatial mappings whose characteristic satisfies the Dini type condition in a given domain. In addition,…

We prove nonlinear lower bounds and commutator estimates for the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian in bounded domains. The applications include bounds for linear drift-diffusion equations with nonlocal dissipation and global existence of weak…

We study some geometric and potential theoretic properties of nodal domains of solutions to certain uniformly elliptic equations. In particular, we establish corkscrew conditions, Carleson type estimates and boundary Harnack inequalities on…

It is developed the theory of the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions. On this basis, for the nondegenerate Beltrami equations in the quasidisks and, in particular, in the smooth domains, it is proved the existence of regular solutions…

We investigate the self-adjointness of the two-dimensional Dirac operator $D$, with quantum-dot and Lorentz-scalar $\delta$-shell boundary conditions, on piecewise $C^2$ domains with finitely many corners. For both models, we prove the…
