Behaviour of the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian in a domain with a hole

M. Sango (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate the behaviour of a sequence λ s , s = 1,2,..., of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem for the p-Laplacian in the domains Ω s , s = 1,2,..., obtained by removing from a given domain Ω a set E s whose diameter vanishes when s → ∞. We estimate the deviation of λ s from the eigenvalue of the limit problem. For the derivation of our results we construct an appropriate asymptotic expansion for the sequence of solutions of the original eigenvalue problem.

Beyond the classical Weyl and Colin de Verdière’s formulas for Schrödinger operators with polynomial magnetic and electric fields

Mitya Boyarchenko, Sergei Levendorski (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We present a pair of conjectural formulas that compute the leading term of the spectral asymptotics of a Schrödinger operator on L 2 ( n ) with quasi-homogeneous polynomial magnetic and electric fields. The construction is based on the orbit method due to Kirillov. It makes sense for any nilpotent Lie algebra and is related to the geometry of coadjoint orbits, as well as to the growth properties of certain “algebraic integrals,” studied by Nilsson. By using the direct variational method, we prove that the...

Bifurcation for nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems I.

Kazuaki Taira (1996)

Collectanea Mathematica

This paper is devoted to local static bifurcation theory for a class of degenerate boundary value problems for nonlinear second-order elliptic differential operators. The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first purpose is to prove that the first eigenvalue of the linearized boundary value problem is simple and its associated eigenfunction is positive. The second purpose is to discuss the changes that occur in the structure of the solutions as a parameter varies near the first eigenvalue of the...

Bifurcation theorems of Rabinowitz type for certain differential operators of the fourth order

Jolanta Przybycin (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper was inspired by the works of P. H. Rabinowitz. We study nonlinear eigenvalue problems for some fourth order elliptic partial differential equations with nonlinear perturbation of Rabinowitz type. We show the existence of an unbounded continuum of nontrivial positive solutions bifurcating from (μ₁,0), where μ₁ is the first eigenvalue of the linearization about 0 of the considered problem. We also prove the related theorem for bifurcation from infinity. The results obtained are similar...

Bilinear virial identities and applications

Fabrice Planchon, Luis Vega (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove bilinear virial identities for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which are extensions of the Morawetz interaction inequalities. We recover and extend known bilinear improvements to Strichartz inequalities and provide applications to various nonlinear problems, most notably on domains with boundaries.

Billiards and boundary traces of eigenfunctions

Steve Zelditch (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

This is a report on recent results with A. Hassell on quantum ergodicity of boundary traces of eigenfunctions on domains with ergodic billiards, and of work in progress with Hassell and Sogge on norms of boundary traces. Related work by Burq, Grieser and Smith-Sogge is also discussed.
