In this paper, we study the quantitative unique continuation property of the second-order elliptic operators under the vanishing Neumann boundary condition over $C^{1,\alpha}$ or convex domains in two dimensions. We establish the optimal…

In this paper we study nonlinear Helmholtz equations with sign-changing diffusion coefficients on bounded domains. The existence of an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions is established making use of weak T-coercivity theory. All…

We prove the existence of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in any compact Riemannian manifold. This result generalizes a results of F. Pacard and the second author where…

For a class of functions (called minimal Rad\'o functions) that arise naturally in minimal surface theory, we bound the number of interior critical points (counting multiplicity) in terms of the boundary data and the Euler characteristic of…

This paper investigates the link between the Maximum Principle and the sign of the (generalized) principal eigenvalue for elliptic operators in unbounded domains. Our approach covers the cases of Dirichlet, Neumann, and (indefinite) Robin…

We consider a class of eigenvalue problems for poly-harmonic operators, including Dirichlet and buckling-type eigenvalue problems. We prove an analyticity result for the dependence of the symmetric functions of the eigenvalues upon domain…

We study the dependence of the zeros of eigenfunctions of Sturm-Liouville problem on the parameters that define the boundary conditions. As a corollary, we obtain Sturm oscillation theorem, which states that the $n$-th eigenfunction has $n$…

We study an eigenvalue problem for the biharmonic operator with Neumann boundary conditions on domains of Riemannian manifolds. We discuss the weak formulation and the classical boundary conditions, and we describe a few properties of the…

We consider some second order quasilinear partial differential inequalities for real valued functions on the unit ball and find conditions under which there is a lower bound for the supremum of nonnegative solutions that do not vanish at…

We consider eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators on a $d-$dimensional bounded domain $\Omega$ (or a $d-$dimensional compact manifold $\Omega$) with Dirichlet conditions. These operators give rise to a sequence of eigenfunctions…

We study the principal Dirichlet eigenfunction $\varphi_U$ when the domain $U$ is a perturbation of a bounded inner uniform domain in a strictly local regular Dirichlet space. We prove that if $U$ is suitably contained in between two inner…

We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded exceptional domains in the Euclidean space $\R^N$, $N\geq4$. These domains arise as perturbations of complements of straight cylinders in $\R^N$, and by definition they support a positive…

Existence and global regularity results for boundary-value problems of Robin type for harmonic and polyharmonic functions in $n$-dimensional half-spaces are offered. The Robin condition on the normal derivative on the boundary of the…

In searching for the manifestations of sensitivity of the eigenfunctions in quantum billiards (with Dirichlet boundary conditions) with respect to the boundary data (the normal derivative) we have performed instead various numerical tests…

We continue the analysis started in [Noris,Terracini,Indiana Univ Math J,2010] and [Bonnaillie-No\"el,Noris,Nys,Terracini,Analysis & PDE,2014], concerning the behavior of the eigenvalues of a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator of Aharonov-Bohm…

Recent work in the literature has studied fourth-order elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. This paper proves that, in the case of the squared Laplace operator, the boundary conditions which require that the eigenfunctions and…

For the magnetic Laplacian on a bounded planar domain, imposing Neumann boundary conditions produces eigenvalues below the lowest Landau level. If the domain has two boundary components and one imposes a Neumann condition on one component…

We study the number of nodal domains in balls shrinking slightly above the Planck scale for "generic" toral eigenfunctions. We prove that, up to the natural scaling, the nodal domains count obeys the same asymptotic law as the global number…

This paper studies a Sturm--Liouville boundary value problem in which one of the boundary conditions depends bilinearly on the spectral parameter. The differential equation is considered on the interval $(0,1)$ with a classical boundary…

We prove several types of Courant nodal domain theorems for generalized Laplacians on graphs, based on an invariant introduced by Urschel, which we call the "Urschel number", denoted ${\rm UN}({\bf f})$, of an eigenvector ${\bf f}$. We…
