Eigenvalues of polyharmonic operators on variable domains

Davide Buoso, Pier Domenico Lamberti (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider a class of eigenvalue problems for polyharmonic 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 perturbations and compute Hadamard-type formulas for the Frechét differentials. We also consider isovolumetric domain perturbations and characterize the corresponding critical domains for the symmetric functions of the eigenvalues. Finally, we prove...

Applications of the ‘Ham Sandwich Theorem’ to Eigenvalues of the Laplacian

Kei Funano (2016)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

We apply Gromov’s ham sandwich method to get: (1) domain monotonicity (up to a multiplicative constant factor); (2) reverse domain monotonicity (up to a multiplicative constant factor); and (3) universal inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on bounded convex domains in Euclidean space.

On the nodal set of the second eigenfunction of the laplacian in symmetric domains in R N

Lucio Damascelli (2000)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

We present a simple proof of the fact that if Ω is a bounded domain in R N , N ≥ 2 , which is convex and symmetric with respect to k orthogonal directions, 1 ≤ k ≤ N , then the nodal sets of the eigenfunctions of the laplacian corresponding to the eigenvalues λ 2 , ⋯ , λ k + 1 must intersect the boundary. This result was proved by Payne in the case N = 2 for the second eigenfunction, and by other authors in the case of convex domains in the plane, again for the second eigenfunction.
