We prove trace inequalities of type $\left|\right|u^{\text{'}}{\left|\right|}_{L^2}^2+{\sum }_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}{k}_j|u\left(a_j\right){|}^2{\ge \lambda \left|\right|u\left|\right|}_{L^2}^2$ where $u\in H^1\left(ℝ\right)$, under suitable hypotheses on the sequences ${a_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$ and ${k_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$, with the first sequence increasing and the second bounded.

Questa è una rassegna di alcuni risultati recenti sui moltiplicatori spettrali dell'operatore di Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, un laplaciano naturale sullo spazio euclideo munito della misura gaussiana. I risultati sono inquadrati nell'ambito della teoria generale dei moltiplicatori spettrali per laplaciani generalizzati.

We recall here some theoretical results of Helffer et al. [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire (2007) doi:10.1016/j.anihpc.2007.07.004] about minimal partitions and propose numerical computations to check some of their published or unpublished conjectures and exhibit new ones.

Given a bounded open set $\Omega$ in ${ℝ}^n$ (or in a Riemannian manifold) and a partition of $\Omega$ by $k$ open sets $D_j$, we consider the quantity ${\mathrm{𝚖𝚊𝚡}}_j\lambda \left(D_j\right)$ where $\lambda \left(D_j\right)$ is the ground state energy of the Dirichlet realization of the Laplacian in $D_j$. If we denote by ${ℒ}_k\left(\Omega \right)$ the infimum over all the $k$-partitions of ${\mathrm{𝚖𝚊𝚡}}_j\lambda \left(D_j\right)$, a minimal $k$-partition is then a partition which realizes the infimum. When $k=2$, we find the two nodal domains of a second eigenfunction, but the analysis of higher $k$’s is non trivial and quite interesting. In this paper, we give...

In this paper we derive results concerning the angular distrubition of the eigenvalues and the completeness of the principal vectors in certain function spaces for an oblique derivative problem involving an indefinite weight function for a second order elliptic operator defined in a bounded region.

We consider Schrödinger operators H = -Δ/2 + V (V≥0 and locally bounded) with Dirichlet boundary conditions, on any open and connected subdomain $D\subset {ℝ}^n$ which either is bounded or satisfies the condition $d(x,D^c)\to 0$ as |x| → ∞. We prove exponential decay at the boundary of all the eigenfunctions of H whenever V diverges sufficiently fast at the boundary ∂D, in the sense that $d{(x,D^C)}^{2}V\left(x\right)\to \infty$ as $d(x,D^C)\to 0$. We also prove bounds from above and below for Tr(exp[-tH]), and in particular we give criterions for the finiteness of such trace....
