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.

Existence of multiple principal eigenvalues for some indefinite linear eigenvalue problems

J. Fleckinger, J. Hernández, F. Thélin (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We study the existence of principal eigenvalues for differential operators of second order which are not necessarily in divergence form. We obtain results concerning multiplicity of principal eigenvalues in both the variational and the general case. Our approach uses systematically the Krein-Rutman theorem and fixed point arguments for the spectral radius of some associated problems. We also use a variational characterization for both the self-adjoint and the general case.

Domain perturbations, capacity and shift of eigenvalues

André Noll (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

After introducing the notion of capacity in a general Hilbert space setting we look at the spectral bound of an arbitrary self-adjoint and semi-bounded operator H . If H is subjected to a domain perturbation the spectrum is shifted to the right. We show that the magnitude of this shift can be estimated in terms of the capacity. We improve the upper bound on the shift which was given in (, 24:759–775, 1999) and obtain a lower bound which leads to a generalization of Thirring’s inequality...

About a Pólya-Schiffer inequality

Bodo Dittmar, Maren Hantke (2011)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Similarity:

For simply connected planar domains with the maximal conformal radius 1 it was proven in 1954 by G. Pólya and M. Schiffer that for the eigenvalues λ of the fixed membrane for any n the following inequality holds [...] where λ(o) are the eigenvalues of the unit disk. The aim of the paper is to give a sharper version of this inequality and for the sum of all reciprocals to derive formulas which allow in some cases to calculate exactly this sum.

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.
